问题     State and local authorities from New Hampshire to San Francisco have begun banning the use of facial-recognition technology. Their suspicion is well【C1】________: these algorithms make lots of mistakes, particularly when it【C2】________identifying women and people of color.

    Automated face-recognition programs do have advantages, 【C4】________their ability to turn a person’s unique appearance into a biometric ID that can let phone users【C5】________ their devices with a glance.

    Too often,【C9】________, the algorithms are deployed prematurely. In London, for example,  police have begun using artificial-intelligence systems to scan surveillance footage in an attempt to【C10】________wanted criminals as they walk by—despite an independent review that found this system labeled suspects【C11】________only 19 percent of the time.

C、Unfortunately
D、Surprisingly
答案C
解析 副词辨析题。四个选项分别为[A]Fortunately)，“幸运的是”；[B]Frequently“频繁地”；[C]Unfortunately“不幸的是”；[D]Surprisingly“令人奇怪的是”。空格所在句意为“________，地方政府的禁令对遏制企业(从初创企业到大型公司)采用这项技术几乎没有任何作用”，结合上文可知，地方政府是禁止使用面部识别技术的，而空格所在句提到禁令对企业几乎没有任何作用，由此可知，四个选项中[C]选项符合文意。
