31、I system developed to recognize individuals by body shape and walking movements. The system is already being used by Chinese police in Beijing and Shanghai”可知，在文中面部和身体识别系统被用到安全控制方面，故答案为B项。3答案与解析：D考查推理判断。根据文章最后三段可知人工智能和机器学习已经逐渐被用于多个行业去帮助人类，故答案为D项。4答案与解析：A考查推理判断。本文是一篇说明文，介绍了人工智能和机器学习的发展现状及多种使用方法。总览全文可
32、知，这篇文章应该出自一篇科技报道，故答案为A项。B【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了太阳能发电的优势与弊端。5答案与解析：B考查词义猜测。根据文章第二段第一句“However, some poisonous materials and chemicals are used to make the photovoltaic (光电的) cells that convert sunlight into electricity”可知一些有毒的材料和化学物质被用来制造将阳光转化为电能的光伏电池。第二段第二句话是一个例子，用来支撑第一句话的内容，故这些太阳能热系统是使用潜在的危险液体来传递热量。因此画
33、线词的意思是“危险的”，答案为B项。6答案与解析：C考查细节理解。根据文章第三段中的“Using large volumes of ground water or surface water in some dry locations may affect the ecosystems that depend on these water resources”可知使用水会破坏当地生态系统，并没有说会污染水资源，故选项A错误，选项C正确。7答案与解析：D考查段落大意。根据文章最后一段可知，本段主要讲述的是影响太阳能收集的几个因素，如：太阳能自身的可变性、不规则性，时间段及位置，天气和气候状况等，
34、故答案为D项。8答案与解析：B考查推理判断。通读全文可知，在介绍太阳能发电站的优势和不足时，作者始终都是客观叙述，因此作者认为其有利有弊。.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，就作物多样性的危机问题进行了相关的介绍。1答案与解析：increasing考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知，设空处修饰后面的名词population，且increase与population是逻辑上的主谓关系，故用increasing作定语。2答案与解析：helps考查时态和主谓一致。根据上下文可知这里的宾语从句应用一般现在时，同时从句的主语为having a large variety of plants，谓语动词应用单数，
35、故答案为helps。3答案与解析：largest考查形容词最高级。根据语境可知这里表达的意思是“世界上最大的种子保育项目之一已经预测到进一步的损失”。故这里用所给词的最高级形式largest。4答案与解析：permanently考查副词。分析句子成分可知，设空处修饰谓语动词disappear，故用副词permanently。5答案与解析：that/which考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，设空处引导定语从句，指代先行词genes，且在定语从句中作主语，故用关系代词that/which。6答案与解析：activities考查名词。分析句子成分可知，设空处前有many修饰，因此此处应用所给词的复数
