符合句意。故本题选A。3、【C3】标准答案：J知识点解析：空格处所在句的主语为Theteam，谓语为used，宾语为open-source________，空格前为形容词，空格后为介词to，因此空格处应为名词（n.），作句子的宾语。空格所在句意为“这个团队采用了警方和手机生产商使用的人脸识别工具作为开源________”。上文提到研究人员设计了一项测试，本句阐述测试的具体方法，因此空格处所填词汇应与“手段，方法”意思相近。根据词性归类，名词中只有J项alternatives“可供选择的事物”符合句意，open-sourcealternatives意为“开源替代品”。故本题选J。4、【C4】标准答案：L知识点解析：空格处位于which引导的非限定性定语从句中，从句的先行词为face-recognitiontools，主语为which，谓语为don’t________，空格后为how引导的宾语从句howtheirownalgorithmswork，空格前为助动词的否定形式don’t，因此空格处应为动词原形（v.）。空格所在句意为“这个团队采用了警方和手机生产商使用的人脸识别工具作为开源替代品，但并未________他们的算法是如何工作的"。本句前半句讲这个团队为设计测试而采用的方法和工具，从句讲述算法的工作过程，因此空格处所填词汇应与“揭示，阐释”意思相近。根据词性归类，动词中只有L项reveal“揭示，显示”符合句意。故本题选L。5、【C5】标准答案：B知识点解析：空格处位于dueto引导的原因状语中，空格前为名词短语datasets，________overlongtimeframes作后置定语，修饰datasets，因此空格处应为动词现在分词（v.-ing）或过去分词（v.-ed）。空格所在句意为“该小组还采用了通过人工智能生成的5万人在不同阶段衰老的智能照片，因为长期以来收集到的真实数据集十分匮乏”。由“数据集十分匮乏”可知，空格处所填词汇应与“收集”意思相近。根据词性归类，动词中只有B项collected“收集”符合句意。故本题选B。6、【C6】标准答案：G知识点解析：空格处位于省略了that的宾语从句中，作says的宾语，从句的主语为the________offace-recognitionsystems，谓语为dropped，overtime作时间状语，因此空格处应为名词（n.）。空格所在句意为“格里默认为，从采集到参考照片后，人脸识别系统的________就随着时间在逐渐下降”。由下句“该系统通常能辨认出人们在5年之内的变化，但如果超过5年，系统辨认得就有些吃力了”可知，人脸识别系统的准确性会随着时间而降低，因此空格处所填词汇应与“准确性，精确性”意思相近。根据词性归类，名词中只有G项accuracy“准确（性），精确（程度）”符合句意。故本题选G。7、【C7】标准答案：N知识点解析：空格处位于ratherthan引导的短语中，其连接的并列成分的结构应一致，ratherthan后省略了谓语动词dropped，前文出现副词continuously，后文中也要使用副词，因此空格处应为副词（ad.）。空格所在句意为“从采集到参考照片后，人脸识别系统的精确性就随着时间在逐渐下降，而非________降低”。ratherthan“而非，而不是”前后语义应相反，前文出现的副词continuously表示一个持续的过程，因此空格处所填词汇应与“突然地”意思相近。根据词性归类，副词中只有N项suddenly“突然地”符合句意。故本题选N。8、【C8】标准答案：F知识点解析：空格处位于连词so引导的句子中，主语为knowinghowoftenface-recognitionsystemsneedtoupdatephotosofusers，系动词为is，表语为________，因此空格处应为名词（n.）、形容词（a.）、动词的现在分词（v.-ing）或过去分词（v.-ed）。空格所在句意为“……所以我们________掌握人脸识别系统更新用户照片的频率”。由第二段第二句提到的“关于系统如何适应人类衰老的研究很少”可推知，因为缺乏真实的数据，所以更新人脸识别系统的照片频率也是未知数，因此空格处所填词汇应与“困难的”意思相近。根据词性归类，名词和动词均不符合句意，形容词中只有F项hard“困难的，难做的”符合句意。故本题选F。9、【C9】标准答案：I知识点解析：空格处所在句的主语为theidentity，系动词为is，more________作表语，因此空格处应为名词（n.）、形容词（a.）、动词的现在分词（v.-ing）或动词的过去分词（v.-ed）。空格所在句意为“然后，从20岁到60岁，人们的面容相对更________”。上一句提到20岁之前面容会出现一些小的变化，本句提到20岁到60岁发生的变化，且后文出现onlybesometexturechanges“只会出现一些皮肤纹理方面的变化”，only表示范围限定，暗含“20岁到60岁面容变化小”之意，因此空格处所填词汇应与“稳定的”意思相近。根据词性归类，名词和动词均不符合句意，形容词中只有I项stable“稳定的，稳固的”符合句意。故本题选I。10、【C10】标准答案：H知识点解析：空格处所在句的主语为thefaceshape，谓语为beginsto________begintodosth.为固定表达，意为“开始做某事”，因此空格处应为动词原形（v.）。空格所在句意为“在那之后，面部会再次________，你的脸上会出现明显的皱纹”。由onlybesometexturechanges，likewrinkles及下文的morepronouncedwrinkles可推知，60岁前后面容会发生变化，皱纹逐渐变得morepronounced“更加明显”，这是衰老过程中发生的变化之一，因此空格处所填词汇应与“变化”意思相近。根据词性归类，动词中只有H项shift“改变”符合句意。故本题选H。二、长篇阅读(本题共10题，每题1.0分，共10分。)InequalityIsNotInevitable[A]Adangeroustrendhasdevelopedoverthispastthirdofacentury.AcountrythatexperiencedsharedgrowthafterWorldWarIIbegantotearapart,somuchsothatwhentheGreatRecessionhitinlate2007,onecouldnolongerignorethedivisionthathadcometodefinetheAmericaneconomiclandscape.Howdidthis"shiningcityonahill"becometheadvancedcountrywiththegreatestlevelofinequality?[B]Overthepastyearandahalf,TheGreatDivide,aseriesinTheNewYorkTimes,haspresentedawiderangeofexamplesthatunderminethenotionthatthereareanytrulyfundamentallawsofcapitalism.Thedynamicsoftheimperialcapitalismofthe19thcenturyneedn'tapplyinthedemocraciesofthe21st.Wedon'tneedtohavethismuchinequalityinAmerica.[C]Ourcurrentbrandofcapitalismisafakecapitalism.ForproofofthisgobacktoourresponsetotheGreatRecession,wherewesocializedlosses,evenasweprivatizedgains.Perfectcompetitionshoulddriveprofitstozero,atleasttheoretically,butwehavemonopoliesmakingpersistentlyhighprofits.CEOsenjoyincomesthatareon
