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) recognize
F) involuntary          N) track
G) merely               O) verifies
H) rninimal [br] 【C4】
选项
答案 N
解析 空格前是被动语态facial recognition is used by churches和不定式符号to，后面是名词短语worshippers’attendance，因此空格处需要填入动词原形，构成不定式短语，作目的状语。本段第一句提到，科技正迅速赶超人类识别脸孔的能力，接下来举例证明人脸识别技术已经得到了广泛应用。第一个例子指出在美国，人脸识别被教堂用来________教徒的出席情况，由此可知，此处应选择有“跟踪”含义的词，且该词能与attendance搭配，故N)track“追踪，记录……的进展”为本题答案。
