     Throughout the nation and the world, the debate on the privacy implications of face recognition and other surveillance technologies is heating up.  In January 2001, the city of Tampa, Florida used the technology to scan the faces of people in crowds at the Super Bowl, comparing them with images in a database of digital mug shots. Privacy International subsequently gave the 2001 Big Brother Award for "Worst Public Official" to the City of Tampa for spying on Super Bowl attendees. Tampa then installed cameras equipped with face recognition technology in their Ybor City nightlife district, where they have encountered opposition from people wearing masks and making obscene gestures at the cameras. In late August 2001, a member of the Jacksonville, Florida City Council proposed legislation to keep the technology out of Jacksonville.
     The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services gave a $150,000 grant to the city of Virginia Beach to help the city obtain face recognition cameras to look for criminal suspects and missing children. Although officials had initially expressed mixed feelings about the technology, the city council voted on November 13 to install the software at the oceanfront.
     In the wake of the September 2001 terrorist attacks on the U. S. , privacy advocates, citizen groups, political leaders, and the manufacturers of the technology itself are debating whether these technologies should be more widely used, and if so, how they should be regulated to protect the privacy of the public. Some airports are considering installing face recognition cameras as a security measure. However, T.F. Green International Airport in Providence, Rhode Island, one of the first airports to consider it, decided in January 2002 that they would not install it after all, citing the possibility of false matches and other technological shortcomings of facial recognition systems. [br] Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
选项 A、The city of Tempa was awarded a Big Brother Prize for spying on Super Bowl attendees.
B、The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services granted the city of Virginia Beach.
C、T.F. Green International Airport was the first to consider installing face recognition cameras.
D、The Super Bowl installed cameras equipped with face recognition technology for security.
答案 C
解析 本题要求根据内容判断下列陈述的是非。答案是C，是因为国际机场并不是第一个，而是第一批考虑安装识别脸部装置的机场之一。
