解析:空格前面是谓语动词helps和宾语people,后面是each other,因此空格处需要填入动词原形,构成省略to的不定式短语,作宾语补足语。由第二段和第三段提到的facial recognition可知,文章是围绕人脸识别展开的,而本段是在解释人们进行人脸识别的原因。本句提到,面部特征的千差万别有助于人们____彼此,此处应选择与“识别”意义相近的动词,因此M) recognize为答案。

解析:空格前面是不定冠词an,后面是名词blush,因此需要填入形容词修饰blush。本句前半句提到,人脸传递情绪信号的能力也同样重要,后半句的“”表明并列的两个名词短语是两种相对的情绪信号传递方式,因此空格处需要填入一个与false“虚假的,不真诚的”意义相反的形容词,修饰blush,所以F) involuntary“无意识做出的,非故意的”为本题答案。
