【答案】12.C13.A14.A15.B

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。一款人脸识别应用程序迅速走红，但该应用程序的开发者被工信部审问，从而引起了人

们对人脸识别技术的使用和管理的关注。人脸识别技术有利弊，针对人脸识别技术的弊端，欧洲正对这一

技术进行立法管理。

【12题详解】

词义猜测题。根据划线部分所在句子“Yetmerelydayslater,theapp'sdeveloper,wassummonedand

questionedbytheMinistryofIndustryandInformationTechnologyabouttheproblemoftheuser

agreementandrisksofdatarevealing.w可知，然而仅仅几天后，该应用的开发者就用户协议问题和

数据泄露问题被工信部summoned并质询。根据句意可知，划线词和questioned的感情色彩一致，且涉及

到法律问题，由此推测，开发者是被传唤到工信部，即划线部分的意思和call"召唤，叫来”最接近。故

选C项。

【13题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段的“Facialrecognitionreferstotheprocessofidentifyingapersonby

capturing,comparingandmatchingtheverifiablebiometricinformationuniquetohisorherface

withtheinformationintheexistingbiometricdatabase.可知，人脸识别过程指的是通过获取一

个人面部特有的可核实的生物特征识别信息，再将这些信息与己有的生物特征识别信息库中的信息进行对

比和匹配来识别这个人。A.Ittakesinformationfromanexistingbiometricdatabaseandsendsit

topeople.（从现有的生物识别数据库中获取信息并发送给人们）符合以上说法，故选A项。

【14题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Insomeways,thelegislationonthefacialrecognitiontechnology

couldbecomeatouchstoneofcountries，bidtoregulateandensurethehealthydevelopmentof

newtechnologies."可知，从某种程度上，人脸识别技术的立法可以成为各国努力规范和确保新技术健

康发展的试金石。由此推测，立法对人脸识别技术的未来十分重要。故选A项。

【15题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第二段Fromsortingphotographsonmobilephonestosecuritycertification,from

identifyingandtrackingcriminalstoplayingwithface-swappingapps,thefacialrecognition

technologyhasbeenextensivelyappliedinourlives.Itsusehasmadepeople*slivesmore

convenientandhelpedmaintainsocialorder.从手机上的照片分类到安全认证，从识别和跟踪罪犯到

玩换脸应用程序，人脸识别技术在我们的生活中得到了广泛的应用。它的使用使人们的生活更加便利，有

助于维护社会秩序。再根据第四段的“Illegaluseofthefacialrecognitiontechnologywithoutthe

permissionofthesubjectsisaseriousviolationofpeople'sbasicrights,freedomandsecurity;

itcouldeventhreatensocialorder."（在未经许可的情况下非法使用人脸识别技术是对主体基本权

利、自由和安全的严重侵犯。它甚至威胁到社会秩序。）可知，本文主要讨论了人脸识别技术的利弊以及

欧洲针对其弊端加强立法的现象。B.TheFacialRecognitionTechnology—aDouble-edgedSword.（人

脸识别技术-----把双刃剑）可以作为本文最佳标题。故选B项。

【答案】16.B17.D18.F19.A20.G

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。介绍了一种日益增长的社会趋势一一无朋友进餐。

【16题详解】

空格上文Whenyoueatlunchinarestaurant,youmightseemanypeopleeatingbythemselves,

watchingvideosontheirphones.阐述当你在餐馆吃午饭时，你可能会看到很多人边看手机视频边自己

吃饭。结合下文的问句可推断，B项是一个问句，符合语境，B项“你同情他们吗？”与下文“你担心他

们孤独吗？”两个问题引出下文的内容。故选B。

【17题详解】

空格前一段阐述一项新调查表明平均每个成年人每周单独吃六顿饭，每年吃387顿饭。D项中的“This”

指代这种现象，下文的Maybenot,回答D项的问题“它意味着有许多孤独的人吗？"。故选D。

【18题详解】

根据空格上文Nowadays,manyyoungpeoplespendmoretimestudyingandworkingincompetitive

environments.（现在，许多年轻人花更多的时间在竞争环境中学习和工作。）因此推断他们有更少的时间

和他们的朋友或家人聚在一起吃饭。故选F。

【19题详解】

根据空格上文Shesaid,“Engagingwithmyfriendsandfamiliesonsocialmediaplatformsforabout

halfanhoureverydayalwayshelpsmefeelmoreconnectedwiththem,可知，她说：每天在社交

媒体平台上与我的朋友和家人接触大约半个小时总是有助于我感觉与他们更多在一起。因此推断她不孤

独。故选Ao

【20题详解】

根据空格上文可知，今天，“团结”更多的是一种感觉，而不是一种物质状态，人们有创造力来保持联系，

因此推断在一起的快乐——无论你如何管理它一一从来不会改变。故选G。
