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] 【C10】
选项
答案 D
解析 空格前是动词短语bring about，后面是名词changes，因此空格处需要填入形容词来修饰changes。本句指出，低廉、快速和大量记录、存储以及分析人脸图像的能力总有一天会给隐私、公平和信任这些概念带来________改变。上文提到，乍一看，人脸识别技术并未侵犯隐私，本句以And yet开头，说明句意发生了转折，故此处应选择表示肯定意义的形容词，表明人脸识别技术会改变隐私的概念，因而D)fundamental“根本的，基本的”是本题答案。
