问题     Although "lie detectors" are widely used by governments, police departments and businesses, the results are not always accurate. Lie detectors are commonly【C1】______as emotion detectors, for their aim is to【C2】______bodily changes that contradict what a【C3】______says. The lie detector records changes【C4】______heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, and the electrical【C5】______of the skin. In the first part of the【C6】______, you are electronically connected to the machine and【C7】______a few neutral question("What is your name?" etc). Your physical reactions serve【C8】______the standard for evaluating what comes【C9】______Then you are presented with a few【C10】______questions among the neutral ones("When did you rob the bank?"). The idea is that if you are【C11】______, your body will reveal the truth, even if you try to【C12】______it. Your heart rate and breathing will change【C13】______as you respond to the questions.
    That is the theory, but psychologists have found that lie detectors are simply not
【C14】______.Since most physical changes are the same across【C15】______emotions, lie detectors can- not tell【C16】______you are feeling angry, nervous or excited.【C17】______people may be tense and nervous【C18】______the whole procedure.  They may react physiologically to a certain word ("bank") not because they robbed it, but because they recently used a bad check. In either【C19】______,the machine will record a“ lie”.
    On the other hand, some practiced liars can lie【C20】______hesitation, so the reverse mistake is also common.
【C2】

选项 A、measure
B、keep
C、maintain
D、grade

答案A

解析 通过上下文推测该句意为“测谎仪就是通常人们所知的情绪检测器,使用它们的目的就是测量与一个嫌疑对象所言不符的身体变化”。选项中measure意为“衡量,检测”; keep意为“保持”,maitain 也意为“保持”(相同意义的选项可首先排除);grade意为“评级,评分”。故选项A符合文意。
