问题  
In the rush to reinvent the way we live, do the tech reformers forget the negative impact some of their miraculous products can have on the lives and jobs of many people?
    Take facial recognition as an example. Have you ever come across someone whose face you recognized but you couldn’t remember his or her name? It’s always happening to me.
    The augmented reality company Blippar already allows you to scan objects with your smartphone’s camera to find out more about them—now you will be able to scan faces too.
    But facial recognition software can be controversial, and this could be another innovation which sounds great in a brainstorming session but has unintended consequences in the real world. We hear from Blippar’s co-founder Omar Tayeb who tells us how the app works, and why we shouldn’t be worried about its implications for privacy.
    Another story is about another area where the tech industry’s reputation is coming into question—the fake news spread over social networks and via Google searches.
    The tech firms are now starting to help readers understand what is true and what is not, but what can the traditional media firms do?
    Critics of the mainstream media will argue that the problem started long before many people got their news online. So whose job is it now to decide what is true, and put clear markings on fake news? You might think that was the function of editors, but Alex Sander of The Guardian tells us "it’s the readers’ job to mark things as fake. "
    Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.
    9. What can we learn about the inventions from tech reformers?
    10. What does the speaker say about facial recognition software?
    11. Whose job is it to mark fake news according to Alex Sander?

选项 A、The editors.
B、The readers.
C、The media.
D、The governments.

答案B

解析 原文中提到,主流媒体的评论家们会辩解说这个问题早在人们上网获取信息之前就已经存在了。那么当下来决定什么是真实的并且对虚假信息进行明确的标记是谁的职责呢?你也许会认为这些是编辑们的责任,但是《卫报》的Alex Sander告诉我们,标记虚假信息是读者的职责。因此答案为B。
