【题目】 How to Put on a Medical Mask

Medical masks are mainly used by health care professionals to protect themselves and others. The masks can prevent the spread of infectious diseases. During a bad disease outbreak, that the public wear masks to protect themselves is also recommended. Here are some steps to wearing a mask properly.

Clean your hands. Before touching a clean medical mask, wash your hands thoroughly with both soap and water. Once you've applied soap, you should rub your hands together to wash them for at least 20 seconds. Always use a clean paper towel to dry your hands. 【1】

Check the medical mask for imperfections. Once you've taken a new medical mask from the box, check it to ensure it doesn't contain any imperfections, holes or tears in the material. 【2】.

Orient(确定方向) the top of the mask properly. In order for the mask to fit as close to your skin as possible, the top portion of the mask will have a bendable, but stiff edge that can be shaped around your nose. Ensure this bendable side is facing upwards before applying the mask to your face.

【3】 The inside of most medical masks is white in colour, while the outside has a colour of some sort. Before applying the mask to your face, make sure the white side is facing towards your face.

Place the mask on your face. There are many types of medical masks available, each with different methods of attaching the mask to your head. 【4】 Pick up this type of mask by the loops(环), put one loop around one ear and then put the other loop around your other ear. If it is a mask with ties, pick up the mask by the upper ties, place the ties around the back of your head and attach them together with a bow.

【5】 Now that the medical mask is in place on your head and face, use your fingers to make the top edge of the mask around the bridge of your nose. If it is big enough, cover it over your chin.

A.Hold the mask in front of your face.

B.These masks are generally somewhat loose fitting.

C.Ensure the proper side of the mask faces outwards.

D.Adjust the nose piece and fit the mask to your face.

E.Don't forget to place that paper towel into a dustbin.

F.Some masks have 2 ear loops on either side of the mask.

G.If the mask has something wrong, throw it away and select another new mask from the box.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。医用口罩主要是被医学专家用来保护自己和他人。在疾病爆发时期，公众也需要戴口罩来保护他们自己。正确地佩戴口罩需要如下几个步骤：洗手、检查口罩是否破损，确定正反面，正确佩戴，调整口罩位置。这样才能良好地保护我们的健康。

【1】

结合上文Always use a clean paper towel to dry your hands.可知一定要用干净的纸巾擦干手。由此可知，本句承接上文说明擦了手的纸巾要放进垃圾桶里。上文中a clean paper towel可对应到E选项中that paper towel。故E选项“别忘了把纸巾放进垃圾桶里”符合上下文语境，故选E。

【2】

根据上文Once you've taken a new medical mask from the box, check it to ensure it doesn't contain any imperfections, holes or tears in the material.可知一旦你从盒子里拿出新的医用口罩，检查一下，确保它的材料上没有任何瑕疵、洞或裂痕。由此可知，上文提到要检查口罩的完好性，本句承接上文说明如果有问题的口罩应当扔掉并重新选择一个新的。故G选项“如果口罩有问题，扔掉它并从框中选择另一个新的口罩”符合上下文语境，故选G。

【3】

根据后文The inside of most medical masks is white in colour, while the outside has a colour of some sort. Before applying the mask to your face, make sure the white side is facing towards your face.可知大多数医用口罩的内部都是白色的，而外面则有某种颜色。在将口罩戴在脸上之前，要确保白色的一面朝向你的脸。由此可知，本段说明的是要确保口罩正确的一面朝外。故C选项“确保口罩正确的一面朝外”符合上下文语境，故选C。

【4】

根据后文Pick up this type of mask by the loops, put one loop around one ear and then put the other loop around your other ear.可知拿起这种套圈口罩，把一个套圈绕在一只耳朵上，然后把另一个套圈绕在另一只耳朵上。由此可知，本句是在说明某些两侧有两个耳套的口罩。故F选项“有些口罩的两侧都有两个耳套”符合上下文语境，故选F。

【5】

结合后文Now that the medical mask is in place on your head and face, use your fingers to make the top edge of the mask around the bridge of your nose.可知现在医用口罩已经戴在你的头上和脸上，用你的手指把口罩的上边缘贴合在鼻梁上。由此可知，本段是在说明将带上口罩之后如何调整。故D选项“调整鼻子固定带，并调整口罩使其适合你的面部”符合上下文语境，故选D。
