Sme cities and lawmakers are resisting crime-fighting tech wing t bias(偏见) and accuracy cncerns.Plice departments arund the U．S.are asking citizens t trust them t use facial recgnitin sftware as a handy tl in their crime-fighting tlbx.But sme lawmakers—and even sme technlgy giants—are against it.
Take the western Massachusetts city f Springfield，where many residents are Latin r black.Springfield plice say they have n plans t use facial recgnitin systems，but sme City Cuncil members are mving t blck any future gvernment use f the technlgy anyway.
At an Octber hearing n the subject，Springfield City Cuncilman，Orland Rams，defended the technlgy.“The facial recgnitin technlgy des nt drp a net frm the sky and put yu t prisn，” he said，nting that it culd serve as a useful investigative tl.Hwever，he desn’t want t take any risks.“It wuld nly lead t mre racial discriminatin，” he said，citing studies that fund higher errr rates fr facial recgnitin sftware used t identify wmen and peple with darker skins.
Similar debates acrss the cuntry are highlighting racial issues and cncerns abut the technlgy’s accuracy.Axn，which supplies bdy-wrn cameras natinwide，had already frmed an artificial intelligence ethics bard(伦理委员会) that cncluded facial recgnitin technlgy isn’t yet dependable enugh t justify its use n plice cameras.Axn Chief Executive Rick Smith said，“Even if facial recgnitin sftware was perfectly accurate，the ability t track peple raises privacy cncerns.”“D we want everybdy wh walks near a plice fficer t get their face identified and lgged in a database？” he said.
Nevertheless，Tdd Pastrini，general manager at bimetric frensics(生物取证) cmpany DataWrks Plus，said it’s the “extremely effective” methd f running images thrugh phts t help identify a suspect.“Sciety and the public are ging t get frustrated，if gvernments refuse t adpt a technlgy that keeps imprving，”he said.In his eyes，facial recgnitin hits are just ne part f an investigatin.
8．What is Orland Rams’ attitude twards facial recgnitin?
A．Hpeful. B．Cautius.
C．Ambiguus. D．Tlerant.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段可知，Orland认为可以将这个软件作为一个有用的调查工具，但他也不愿意冒任何的风险，因为这个软件很有可能导致更多的种族歧视，研究发现面部识别软件识别女性和肤色较深的人时错误率更高。由此可知，Orland对这个软件持谨慎态度。故选B。
9．What is ne fcus f the debates abut facial recgnitin?
A．Gender discriminatin.
B．Speed limit.
C．Accuracy rate.
D．Steadiness cntrl.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Similar debates acrss the cuntry are highlighting racial issues and cncerns abut the technlgy’s accuracy.”可知，类似的争辩都突显了种族问题和对该技术准确性的担忧。由此可知，现在争辩的关注点之一是识别的准确度。故选C。

D
(2021·江苏镇江四校联考)
“Regrets are ften painful.A study suggests that sme peple can vercme them，” said Jiawei Zhang，a psychlgy graduate at the University f Califrnia.“But this isn’t the case fr everyne，” he said.
The researchers wndered why sme peple reprt feeling imprvement frm regrets but thers dn’t.Des it lie in hw peple apprach their regrets?
In the study，the researchers fcused n self-cmpassin(自我同情) as a ptential factr in why sme peple have an easier time leaving their regrets behind them.
400 peple attended an experiment.First，they were asked t write abut their biggest regret.Half wrte smething they did but wish they hadn’t dne; the ther half wrte smething they didn’t d but wish they had.Then，the participants were randmly assigned t ne f three grups：self-cmpassin，self-esteem and a cntrl grup.The self-esteem grup was asked t respnd by “talking t yurself abut this regret frm the aspect f cnfirming yur psitive qualities”．
The cntrl grup was asked t write abut their favrite hbby rather than their regret.Then，they were asked abut their feelings f frgiveness，acceptance and persnal imprvement fllwing the exercise.
They fund that the self-cmpassin grup reprted greater feelings f acceptance，frgiveness and persnal imprvement，cmpared with the cntrl grup and the self-esteem grup.In ther wrds，fcusing n yur best qualities is nt what helps yu feel better abut a regret.Rather，being cmpassinate tward yurself is what may make a difference，the researchers fund.
It’s pssible that peple wh practice self-cmpassin are able t cnfrnt their regrets and see what went wrng，s they can make a better chice in the future，Zhang tld Live Science.Self-cmpassin pushes peple t accept their regret instead f running away frm it.
The researchers used an example f this frm a previus study n breast cancer patients wh were asked t try thinking abut their treatment in a psitive light befre it began.The wmen wh did s reprted greater feelings f persnal grwth later n.
12．What des the underlined wrd “cnfrnt” in Paragraph 7 mean?
A．Handle. B．Frget.
C．Ignre. D．Shw.
答案 A
解析 词义猜测题。文章第二段最后一句“Des it lie in hw peple apprach their regrets？”提出问题，下文通过实验回答了这个问题。故第七段中的“It’s pssible that peple wh practice self-cmpassin are able t cnfrnt their regrets and see what went wrng...”画线单词意思应和apprach一致，意为“处理”。故A选项正确。
13．What were the students in the self-esteem grup asked t d?
A．Think f a way ut.
B．Write abut their regrets.
C．Recrd their favrite hbbies.
D．Treat their regrets in psitive ways.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。由第四段最后一句可知，该组人被要求从肯定自己好的品质这个角度来和自己谈一谈自己的后悔。由此可知，他们被要求用积极的态度来对待自己后悔的事。故D选项正确。
14．Why were the participants asked abut their gd qualities?
A．T cver up their regrets.
B．T see if they have weaknesses.
C．T see if they have self-cmpassin.
D．T help them feel better abut their regrets.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。由倒数第三段最后两句的内容可知，该研究最终发现，专注于你的好品质并不能帮助你感觉更好。相反，自我同情才可以发挥作用，使你感觉更好。由此可推知，在试验中，参与者被要求关注自己的好品质，其目的是想使他们感觉好点。故D选项正确。
15．What was the aim f mentining the researchers’ study n breast cancer patients?
A．T shw the methd f the research.
B．T shw the value f the acceptance.
C．T shw the truth f peple’s feeling.
D．T shw the difficulty f the research.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。由最后一段可知，这些乳腺癌患者被要求在治疗开始之前就从积极的角度来考虑治疗。这样做的病人后来的确报告感觉好多了。由此可推知，当你在心理上接受某种事物时，你对它的感觉确实要好很多，更容易接受它。这体现了接受的作用。故B选项正确。

“Regrets are ften painful.A study suggests that sme peple can vercme them，” said Jiawei Zhang，a psychlgy graduate at the University f Califrnia.“But this isn’t the case fr everyne，” he said.
The researchers wndered why sme peple reprt feeling imprvement frm regrets but thers dn’t.Des it lie in hw peple apprach their regrets?
In the study，the researchers fcused n self-cmpassin(自我同情) as a ptential factr in why sme peple have an easier time leaving their regrets behind them.
400 peple attended an experiment.First，they were asked t write abut their biggest regret.Half wrte smething they did but wish they hadn’t dne; the ther half wrte smething they didn’t d but wish they had.Then，the participants were randmly assigned t ne f three grups：self-cmpassin，self-esteem and a cntrl grup.The self-esteem grup was asked t respnd by “talking t yurself abut this regret frm the aspect f cnfirming yur psitive qualities”．
The cntrl grup was asked t write abut their favrite hbby rather than their regret.Then，they were asked abut their feelings f frgiveness，acceptance and persnal imprvement fllwing the exercise.
They fund that the self-cmpassin grup reprted greater feelings f acceptance，frgiveness and persnal imprvement，cmpared with the cntrl grup and the self-esteem grup.In ther wrds，fcusing n yur best qualities is nt what helps yu feel better abut a regret.Rather，being cmpassinate tward yurself is what may make a difference，the researchers fund.
It’s pssible that peple wh practice self-cmpassin are able t cnfrnt their regrets and see what went wrng，s they can make a better chice in the future，Zhang tld Live Science.Self-cmpassin pushes peple t accept their regret instead f running away frm it.
The researchers used an example f this frm a previus study n breast cancer patients wh were asked t try thinking abut their treatment in a psitive light befre it began.The wmen wh did s reprted greater feelings f persnal grwth later n.
