37、sh prime minister, on October 26th, as he introduced plans to tackle discrimination in the workplace. Ten big employers in the public and private sectorsincluding the civil service, HSBC and Deloittehave agreed to start recruiting招募on a “name-blind basis in Britain; others may also follow suit. In s

38、uch schemes, those drawing up shortlists of applicants cannot see their names, with the aim of reducing racial and sexual bias. But do they work?Several countries have experimented with name-blind applications. In 2023 Germanys Anti-Discrimination Agency, an advisory body, sponsored a voluntary sche

39、me to get businesses to try it. In France a law passed in 2023 made the anonymizing of applicants CVs compulsory for firms of over 50 employees. But the government was slow in laying down the conditions for how the law would operate, and only started performing it last year.In Sweden and the Netherl

40、ands there have been some trials. Discrimination against job applicants based on their names is well documented, particularly among ethnic minorities. An experiment in Germany found that candidates with German-sounding names were 14% more likely to be called for an interview than candidates with Tur

41、kish ones. A review of various studies, by the Institute for Study of Labour (IZA), a German outfit, found that anonymized job applications boost the chances of ethnic minority candidates being invited to an interview. A Sweden study found that it led to more ethnic-minority people being hired.Howev

42、er, the results from other trials are less clear. A second Swedish experiment found that only women, not immigrants, were boosted by anonymous recruitment. According to the IZA, experiments in the Netherlands showed no increase in the likelihood of ethnic-minority candidatesbeing offered a job if th

43、eir CVs were seen anonymously, suggesting that discrimination had slid in at the interview stage. Ensuring that a candidate is completely anonymous is also tricky.A 2023 French study found that foreign-born candidates and those from poor districts were less likely to be called for interview when app

44、lications were anonymized. Its authors suggested that recruiters may have used other indicators, such as knowledge of Arabic, to identify race. In places suffering from religious tension, such as Northern Ireland, the name of a school can reveal a candidates faith, while a few years missing on a CV

45、may suggest maternity leave产假, and thus that the candidate is female. Going name-blind when shortlisting candidates may be a sensible start, but it is likely to be just a small step towards ending hiring bias.58. What can learn from the passage?A. In France, the government started the anonymized rec

46、ruitment in 2023.B. In Germany, chances of ethnic-minority name-blind candidates being interviewed are slighter.C. In the Netherlands, the anonymous recruitment is more of a trick than an effective practice.D. In Sweden, not only women but also immigrants may well enjoy a higher recruitment rate.59.

By writing the passage, the author tries to _.A. inform readers of the idea of anonymizing job applicationsB. explain how anonymization in recruitment is operatedC. discuss whe

48、ther anonymization in job applications worksD. promote the strategies of name-blind recruitmentCSAN FRANCISCOWhen you pull the headset over your eyes and the game begins, you are transported to a tiny room with white walls. Your task is to break out of the room, but you cannot use your hands. There

49、is no joystick or game pad. You must use your thoughts.You turn toward a ball on the floor, and your brain sends a command to pick it up. With another thought, you send the ball crashing into a mirror, breaking the glass and revealing a few numbers on a wall. You mentally type those numbers into a l

50、arge keypad by the door. And you are out.Designed by Neurable, a small startup founded by Ramses Alcaide, an electrical engineer and neuroscientist (神经科学家),the game offers what you might call a computer mouse for the mind, a way of selecting items in a virtual world with your thoughts.Combining a he

51、adset with virtual reality goggles and sensors that can read your brain waves, this prototype (样机) is a few years from the market. And it is limited in what it can do. You cannot select an object with your mind unless you first look in its direction, narrowing the number of items you may be consider

52、ing.But it works. I recently played the game, which has the working title Awakening, when Alcaide and two Neurable employees passed through San Francisco, and a few hundred others tried it this month at the Siggraph computer graphics conference in Los Angeles.The prototype is among the earliest frui

53、ts of a widespread effort to embrace technology that was once science fictionand in some ways still is. Driven by recent investments from the US government and by the herd mentality (从众心理) in the tech world, a number of startups and bigger companies like Facebook are working on ways to mentally cont

54、rol machines. They are also looking for smoother ways to use virtual reality technology. The increased interest in neurotechnology is partly a result of an effort the government administration started in 2023. The initiative helped create significant government financing for brain-interface companie

55、s and related work in academy.The Neurable prototype shows what is possible today. Using electroencephalography, or EEGa means of measuring electrical brain activity that has been around for a decadethe company can provide simple ways of mentally interacting with a game. Some companies hope to go mu

56、ch further and want to build ways of performing nearly any computing task with the mind. Imagine a brain interface for rapidly typing on a smartphone.At Neurable, which is based in Boston, Alcaide and the member of his team are pushing the limits of EEG headsets. Although sensors can read electrical

57、 brain activity from outside the skull, it is very difficult to separate the signal from the noise. Using computer algorithms (算法)based on research that Alcaide originally published as a doctoral student at the University of Michigan, Neurable works to read activity with a speed and accuracy that is

58、 not usually possible.The algorithms learn from your behavior. Before playing the game, you train them to recognize when you are focusing your attention on an object. A pulse of light bounces around the virtual room, and each time it hits asmall colored ball in front of you, you think about the ball

59、. At that moment, when you focus on the light and it stimulates your brain, the system reads the electrical spikes of your brain activity. “Once we understand them, we can use them. Alcaide expects.61. Which of the following is TRUE about the design of the game?A. You can break the glass with a simp
