That39。s unacceptable.可知Robinson認(rèn)為他們推出了一種產(chǎn)品然后對(duì)其后果撒手不管,這是讓人難以接受的。故推斷Robinson對(duì)人臉識(shí)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(duì)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(duì)自己的產(chǎn)品和產(chǎn)品帶來(lái)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(shí)別技術(shù)會(huì)帶來(lái)更多的問(wèn)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(píng)】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(lèi)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。7.閱讀理解 Gemini Man Gemini Man is a bigbudget Hollywood scifiaction movie based on an original concept, rather than on a superhero ic or an old TV series, even though this particular original concept is more 20 years old. In it a government assassin (殺手)is being hunted down by his own clone The original script was sold by Darren Lemke to a studio in 1997, and since then almost every male Alistener has been attached as a potential star.
