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] 【C9】
选项
答案 E
解析 空格前面是短语be peculiar to“是……所独有的”，其中to是介词，因此空格处可填入名词作介词to的宾语。而空格前没有冠词，故空格处需要填入可数名词的复数形式或者不可数名词。本句提到，尽管面孔是________所独有的，但也是公开的，句首的Although表明第一个分句和第二分句的句意发生了转折，因此由第二个分句中的public可知，此处应选择与public含义相反的名词，故E)individuals“个人，个体”为答案。
