At an earlier time, many thought it was impossible, but progress in facial recognition(识别)software has made it come true. Technology is quickly catching up with the human ability to read faces.Some facial recognition systems use a digital picture and measure(测量) different points on the face. Measurements include the distance between the eyes, the width of the nose, the length of the jaw(下巴) line and more. A detailed map, or faceprint, of the face is developed, stored and later used as a basis for comparison and matching.Some government agencies, airports and banks use facial recognition technology for safety purposes. Apple and Facebook use it to provide their users with added convenience. For example, Apple's new iPhone is expected to use it to unlock the home screen. Other companies use it to help them in better recognizing their customers' needs. For example, some stores are checking into the use of the technology to catch sight of return customers. Then they can offer special deals, based on the customers' buying habits.In America, facial recognition is used by universities to check students' attendance. This yearWelsh police used it to catch a terrorist outside a football game. In China it checks on the identities of ride-hailing drivers, permits tourists to enter some places of interest quickly and lets people pay for things with a smile.While some systems are used with the knowledge of the persons, others aren't, and that raises worries. For many people, however, convenience outbalances the worries, in other words, meaning that facial recognition technology is likely here to stay.（1）The underlined word "it" in the first paragraph refers to the fact that______.A . humans make few mistakesB . humans tell one face from anotherC . computers make the same mistakesD . computers have the ability to read faces（2）According to the passage, stores use facial recognition technology to_______.A . Know customers' needsB . keep the store safeC . improve the convenienceD . catch thieves quickly（3）It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author feels _______about the facial recognition.A . worriedB . movedC . hopefulD . doubtful（4）The author wrote this article to_________.A . encourage the use of facial recognitionB . show the importance of facial recognitionC . predict the development of facial recognitionD . introduce the technology of facial recognition五、语法填空（10分） (共1题；共10分)22. （10分）阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中所给单词的正确形式填空。
