问题    The human face is a remarkable piece of work. The astonishing variety of facial features helps people【C1】______each other and is crucial to the formation of complex societies. So is the face’s ability to send emotional signals, whether through an【C2】______blush or the artifice (欺骗) of a false smile. People spend much of their waking lives, in the office and the courtroom as well as the bar and the bedroom,【C3】______faces, for signs of attraction, hostility, trust and deceit. They also spend plenty of time trying to dissimulate (掩饰).
   Technology is rapidly catching up with the human ability to read faces. In America facial recognition is used by churches to【C4】______worshippers’ attendance; in Britain, by retailers to spot【C5】______shoplifters. This year Welsh police used it to arrest a suspect outside a football game. In China it【C6】______the identities of ride-hailing drivers, permits tourists to enter【C7】______and lets people pay for things with a smile. Apple’s new iPhone is expected to use it to unlock the homescreen.
   Set against human skills, such applications might seem incremental (增加的). Some breakthroughs, such as flight or the Internet, obviously transform human abilities; facial recognition seems【C8】______to encode them. Although faces are peculiar to【C9】______, they are also public, so technology does not, at first sight, intrude on something that is private. And yet the ability to record, store and analyse images of faces cheaply, quickly and on a vast scale promises one day to bring about【C10】______changes to notions of privacy, fairness and trust.
   A) attractions I) password
   B) drawing J) past
   C) extends K) rarely
   D) fundamental L) reading
   E) individuals M) recognise
   F) involuntary N) track
   G) merely O) verifies
   H) minimal
【C2】
选项
答案F
解析 空格前面是不定冠词an，后面是名词blush，因此需要填入形容词修饰blush。本句前半句提到，人脸传递情绪信号的能力也同样重要，后半句的“whether through…or…”表明并列的两个名词短语是两种相对的情绪信号传递方式，因此空格处需要填入一个与false“虚假的，不真诚的”意义相反的形容词，修饰blush，所以F)involuntary“无意识做出的，非故意的”为本题答案。
