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 [br] 【C8】
选项
答案 G
解析 空格前是谓语动词seems，后面是不定式to encode them，句子成分齐全，因此空格处可以填入副词。该句第一个分句指出飞行或互联网这样的突破明显改变了人类的能力，第二个分句提到人脸识别似乎______对面孔进行编码，这两个分句将技术突破和人脸识别技术进行了对比，encode them表明人脸识别只是对面孔进行编码，与飞行和互联网相比，人脸识别没有改变人类的能力，故空格处填入的副词要能表示出人脸识别技术的局限性，因此G)merely“只是，仅仅”为答案。
