标准答案：A

知识点解析：由题干关键词Northernstates和thehighestrates定位到第二段第一

句。该句提到“总的来说，该研究表明，酗酒率在北部各州最高“，可知A）的陈述

22、Withtherankingsonthewebsite,whogotothepoliticianstoshowhowtohelp?

后通过密西西比州的赫尔南多的例子进一步证明医疗保健数据是如何帮助当地政府

改善预防保健政策的。因此D）“卫生统计数据对地方政策的影响”符合文意，故为

B、policehavemadepreparationfbrtheuseofthetechnology

C、citizenshaverightsovermanagingthetechnology

D^policehavegonethroughpubliceducationprocess

标准答案：B

知识点解析：第一段第三句中马伦的话指出，他们使用监控摄像机之前通过听证会

对广大民众进行了教育，公民和少数派群体也参与了这项活动，并帮助起草了他们

现在正在使用的方案。这说明警察局对运用这项技术非常谨慎，广泛听取了公众的

意见，为监控摄像机的使用做了充分准备，因此正确答案为B）。

A、Thesystemisnoteffectiveinrecognizingpeople.

B、Thesystemdoesnotlookattheskincolororone'sgender.

C^Thesystemdoesnotconsiderpeople'sspecificfea:ures.

D、Thesystemishighlyinaccurateandcanbeeasilyfooled.

标准答案：c

知识点解析：第二段讲述了面孔识别系统的运行情况，这个系统不看人的肤色、头

发或性别等具体特征，只是根据一些面部测量来进行分析。所以它的准确率非常

低，因而抓不到通缉犯。所以正确答案为

28、WhatistheACLUsattitudetowardthesystem?

A、Worried.

Skeptical.

C>Confident.

D、Indifferent.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：第三段第三句指出，美国公民自由协会担心面孔识别技术很快会被机

场使用。该组织担心这预技术很可能会被用来监控个人的政治活动，从而骚扰守法

公民。这说明ACLU对面孔识别系统心存忧虑，所以A）正确。

C、canbeusedinthesamewaywiretapsarcused

D、canbeusedafteritsthreathasbeenremoved

标准答案：A

知识点解析：根据最后一段最后一句可知，约翰博士的观点为：这项技术威胁到每

个美国公民参与社会的权利，所以A）“会干扰人们的隐私”正确。

30Whatisthispassagemainlyabout?

A^Disadvantagesoffacerecognitiontechnology.

B、Purposesoffacerecognitiontechnology.

C、Controversyoffacerecognitiontechnology.

D^Effectsoffacerecognitiontechnology.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：本文讲述了警察在使用监控摄像机之前做了充分的准备工作，他们对

使用这项技术极为谨慎，但收效甚微。因为这个系统通过一系列测量来分析面孔，

所以反对这项技术的人非常多。有人认为它是潜在的威胁，有人认为它会侵犯守法

公民的权益，但马伦认为这个系统最终会和其他城市、其他州及联邦执法部门连在

一起跟踪罪犯和可疑的恐怖分子。可以说，人们对这项技术充满了争议，众说纷

纭。因此正确答案为C）。

D)mentalE)tendencyF)aspirationsG)probabilityH)emergeI)physicalJ)middle-aged

K)whereasL)peersM)mentallyN)agedO)married

1、【Cl】

标准答案：J

知识点解析•：文章开头提到“人一生的快乐呈U形走向”，然后进一步说明“童年和

老年时期最快乐”，由此可推知，人在中年时期并不快乐，即hitaslump(处于最低

谷)。J项middle-aged意为“中年的”，符合句意。因此选择middle-aged“中年的”。

2、[C2]

标准答案：D

知识点解析：本文研究的是人一生的快乐情况，即人各个年龄段的精神状态，由此

可推知，此处是对精神健康状况进行了研究，D项mental意为“精神的，心理的”，

符合句意。因此选择mental”精神的，心理的”。

3、[C3]

标准答案：G

知识点解析：空前是定冠词the,空后是of,故此处应填一个名词，文章开头提

到，人在中年时期处于情绪的低谷，因此男性和女性在44岁左右最郁闷，也就是

男性和女性在44岁左右郁闷的可能性达到峰值。G选项probability意为“可能

性”，符合句意。因此选择probability“可能性”。

4、[C4]

标准答案：A

知识点解析：此空所在段与上一段形成对比，标志词为though（可是），上一段提到

“英国的男性和女性在44岁左右最郁闷”。由此推知“在美国，男性和女性（情绪低

谷期）则有很大差别故此处应填differenceo因此选择difference“差别”。

5、[C5]

标准答案：K

知识点解析♦：空前句子意为“女性在40岁时最不开心”，空后句子意为“男性则在

50岁左右最郁闷”，前后两句形成转折关系，K选项whereas意为“然而”，符合句

意。因此选择whereas“然而”。

6、[C6]

标准答案：0

知识点解析：该空所在短句与tomenandwomen和torichandpoor并列，而每一个

小短句都是由and连接两个对应词，故此处应填与single对应的词，即married＜）

因此选择married“已婚的”。

7、[C7]
