historical fiction.But its very special in the world of fiction itself.What makes it so.is readers will have to think like a detective to try and find the truth.Because of this,it makes these books like a thinking exercise or even a sports activity.Why is detective fiction attractive？First of all,it is interesting.The exciting stories,especially the process（过程）of solving the mystery makes readers forget about time in it.Second,readers can get lots of information and knowledge from scientific facts to reasoning（推理的）skills,and even social skills！Whats more,it trains readers brains to think differently and deeply.Reasoning needs evidence,so one has to do some research and check the collected materials to find a conclusion.Detective fiction helps change our way of thinking and improve our reasoning skills.When reading detective stories,forensic（法医的）science is seen as an important tool in the stories.The tool and knowledge are used in all kinds of experiments to discover evidence from a crime scene.For example,we can know whom the blood at the crime scene is from according to forensic science.So,while reading the books,we can not only enjoy the stories,but also learn a lot about science and reasoning behind the cases Well,since detective fiction is so attractive,does everyone like to read it？One of my friends,Jimmy who doesnt read detective books once shared his thoughts about them.He believes that such books should not be suggested reading because they might give birth to many young criminals（罪犯）.Some people might follow the criminal acts of the characters in the book like killing.But it is unfair.Detective fiction does not teach people to carry out a crime but just give readers a sense of right and wrong.Why dont we look at it in a different way？And say that it actually helps us to respect the law and justice（正义）in the world.（1）The example of the blood at the crime scenein Paragraph 3 shows _.A.solving the mystery may cost people a lot of timeB.forensic knowledge is important in detective storiesC.reading detective stories requires a lot about scienceD.criminals may hurt themselves when they hurt others（2）The writers friend Jimmy dislikes detective books because he thinks _.A.they are unattractive to himB.stories about killing are scaryC.reading them waste too much energyD.they may set a bad example for the young（3）According to this passage,the writer may agree that _.A.detective fiction help us to build a sense of justiceB.detective stories are better than other kinds of booksC.people shouldnt be advised to read detective fictionD.people cant read detective fiction without reasoning skills 12.（填空题，8 分）Many police stations across the world have long used facial recognition（面部识别）technology to search for and help catch criminals.The technology has been used at some Us airports to help find out who the travellers are and get them on flights.It is also used to unlock（解锁）phones or cars.Some robots use facial recognition to recognition the people theyre communicating with.Now,a similar technology,known as facial defection,is entering a new field：the business of advertisements（广告）.Facial detection systems are used to watch people and try to guess some facts about them.In the US，such systems are being tested in a small number of stores.Businesses use cameras set up inside the stores or public areas.The cameras scan（扫描）the faces of people and guess their age and other information.Some systems are also used lo judge a persons feelings.That information can then be used to show people real-time advertisements on video screens during their visit to the stores.One facial detection system developed by a company called Mood Media wants to judge how happy or afraid a person is.Businesses could use such information to get real-time feelings from people as they look at products or video ads in the store.Supporters of the technology say facial systems could improve the buyers experience by drawing their attention to products they might like or by offering them special ideas.However,some people have criticized（批评）the use of such facial detection systems.Pam Dixon,a group leader that researches human rights problems,said that the technology could lead to some trouble.For example,a business could set a high price for a product because of a persons information.They shouldnt gather the feelings of anyone by using facial detection systems,Dixon said.（1）According to Paragraph 1，facial recognition technology can help _.A.buy the tickets at airportsB.lock smartphones or carsC.find
