Decoding respirator cultures

As the global pandemic speeds up, many are wondering about the 【1】(effective) of masks and when it's appropriate to wear them. Most people from the East believe that 【2】(wear)a mask is essential to control the spread of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP). But people in the West generally would argue that, unless one is already ill, wearing a mask is simply 【3】(necessary).

In Eastern countries like China, mask-wearing is engrained in their cultures. In fact, people in the East wear masks not just to protect 【4】(they) from illness but also for a variety of other reasons.

In many Asian countries, masks are worn in many scenarios in daily life, such as doing housework 【5】 visiting patients in the hospital. They can give people the comfort of being protected.

In recent years, they are worn simply for cosmetic reasons. Young people in Japan, for example, wear masks as a fashion statement, expressing their personal style through unique designs and patterns.

In Asia, wearing a face mask is also 【6】 outward expression of group-oriented values.

【7】one’s face partially covered, one becomes part of a giant collectivist whole. 'People communicated their responsibilities to the social group of 【8】they were members, ' wrote Peter Baehr, a research professor in social theory at Lingnan University, Hong Kong. 'By disguising an individual’s face, it gave greater salience to collective identity. '

In Western countries, however, individual values are the most important.

As a citizen, it is one's duty to prevent the spread of illness by following proper hygienic procedures, such as washing one's hands and limiting one's contact with others. A face mask【9】 (reserve)only for those showing symptoms of illness.

Whether from the East or the West, social culture and peer pressure have played an important role in one's decision about whether or not to wear a mask. That's because human beings are social creatures who take into consideration what other members of society think of us. The most important thing is to respect others' opinions, no matter how 【10】(differ) they are.

【解析】

这是一篇议论文。随着全球流行病的加速，东方人与西方人在“戴口罩对控制新型冠状肺炎的传播有效”这一方面的观点截然不同，这与不同的社会文化和价值观有关。但是否戴口罩应该尊重他人，考虑社会成员对我们的看法，毕竟人类是社会群居动物。

【1】考查名词。分析句子可知，此处应填名词作为介词about的宾语，故填effectiveness。

【2】考查动名词。分析句子可知，此处应用wear的动名词形式作为宾语从句的主语，故填wearing。

【3】考查形容词。句意：但是，西方人普遍认为，除非一个人已经生病了，否则戴口罩是根本没必要的。根据句意和句子结构可知，此处用形容词unnecessary“没有必要的”符合语境，故填unnecessary。

【4】考查代词。句意：事实上，东方人戴口罩不仅仅是为了预防他们自己不生病，还因为其它各种原因。根据句意可知此处用“他们自己”作宾语，故填themselves。

【5】考查并列连词。结合上下文可知，此处意为“例如，做家务活或者去医院看望病人”，上下文是并列关系，用“或者”符合语境，故填or。

【6】考查冠词。句意：在亚洲，戴口罩也是一种对集体主义价值观的外在表现。根据句意可知，此处是泛指，应用不定冠词，又outward是元音音素开头，故填an。

【7】考查介词。根据句子可知，此处考查with的复合结构，即用with + n + doing/ done/ to do作状语，with one's face partially covered“脸有一部分被遮住”，故填With。

【8】考查定语从句。分析句子可知，此处是定语从句关系词，先行词social group在从句中充当宾语，且位于介词之后，应用关系代词which，故填which。

【9】考查时态和语态。此处讲述一般事实应用一般现在时，主语a face mask和reserve之间是被动关系，应用一般现在时的被动语态，主语是单数，故填is reserved。

【10】考查形容词。分析句子可知，此处应用形容词作为表语，no matter how different they are“无论他们有多么不同”，故填different。

第7小题考查with的复合结构

with的复合结构通常有6种形式，即with + n. + adj./ adv./ prep短语/ doing/ to do/ done。该结构在句中作状语，adj./ adv./ prep短语/ doing/ to do/ done是宾语补足语

例如：

1. With a girl leading us, we finally found the village.在一个女孩的带领下，我们最终找到了这个村子。

2. With all the work finished, I can go out.因为所有工作都做完了，我可以出去。

3. With a big family to support, he has to work around the clock.因为有一大家人要养活，他不得不夜以继日地工作。
