That39。s unacceptable.可知Robinson認(rèn)為他們推出了一種產(chǎn)品然后對其后果撒手不管，這是讓人難以接受的。故推斷Robinson對人臉識別技術(shù)是不支持的。故選A。 （5）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的 The impulse is that they39。re going to put a product out there and wash their hands of the consequences. That39。s unacceptable.可知Robinson認(rèn)為他們推出了一種產(chǎn)品然后對其后果撒手不管，這是讓人難以接受的。故推斷Robinson認(rèn)為公司應(yīng)該對自己的產(chǎn)品和產(chǎn)品帶來的后果負(fù)責(zé)到底。故選D。 （6）考查主旨大意?？v觀全文可知，本文講述了人們懷疑改進(jìn)之后的人臉識別技術(shù)會(huì)帶來更多的問題，比如種族歧視和置墨西哥孩子的利益于不顧。故選B。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科技類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 Suppose you bee a leader in an organization. It39。s very likely that you39。ll want to have volunteers to help with the organization39。s activities. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work. Let39。s begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved. For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract. People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of munity service, some schools have launched pulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can shift people39。s wish of participation from an internal factor (. I volunteer because it39。s important to me) to an external factor (. I volunteer because I39。m required to do so). When that happens, people bee less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must. Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question, researchers have conducted followup studies in which they track volunteers over time. For instance, one study followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year. One of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions. Although this result may not surprise you, it leads to important practical advice. The researchers note that attention should be given to training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience. Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the degr
