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] 【C3】

选项

答案 L

解析空格前为动宾结构spend much of their waking lives及地点状语in the office and…bedroom，空格后是名词faces，因此空格处应填入动名词，与谓语动词spend一起构成短语spend time(in) doing sth.。本句提到，人们花费大量的清醒时间在办公室和法庭以及在酒吧和卧室里________人的脸，寻找吸引、敌意、信任和欺骗的种种迹象。根据第二段第一句提到的read faces可知，L)reading“阅读，读懂”为答案。
