Berners-Lee suggested 15 way of putting the internet, domain names (域名) and hypertext together into one system.

第三部分 阅读理解（共A/B两篇，每小题2分，满分20分）

A

On Feb 26, when an Italian lawmaker (议员) went into the country’s Lower Chamber with a mask to prevent the novel coronavirus, he was criticized (批评) by his colleagues for “causing panic (恐慌)”. Articles from Western media carry headlines such as “No, you do not need face masks to prevent coronavirus.” You might be surprised, as in China and other Asian countries, people have willingly put masks on during the outbreak.

Western thoughts about masks

In the West, people are taught to wear masks only when they get sick. Masks are seen as a tool to protect sick people and prevent the disease from spreading, so healthy people don’t need to wear them. Therefore, during the novel coronavirus outbreak, overseas Chinese students said that they would be “stared at like a virus spreader” if they go out with a mask. According to a survey done by Global Times among some European and American people, wearing a mask in public can make them feel “worried”, “shy”, and “afraid of being looked at differently.”

But as the number of COVID-19 cases continues to grow around the world, many people in the West are changing their attitudes. In the US, for example, the need for masks is very high now. The US surgeon general (卫生局局长) has been asking people to avoid hoarding masks, as they are more needed in hospitals than by the general public, for this reason people should buy enough for their needs.

Mask culture in the East

In Asian countries like China and Japan, there has been a long tradition of mask-wearing. In China, for example, when doctor Wu Liande invented the modern medical mask during the pneumonic plague (肺鼠疫) in 1910, the mask became a symbol of China’s position as a modern, scientific nation, according to Scottish medical anthropologist (人类学家) Christos Lynteris. The 2003 SARS epidemic again led to the wide use of masks as a form of anti-viral protection in China and elsewhere in East Asia.

In Japan, wearing masks has long been seen as a manner to reassure (使安心) others when one catches a cold or flu. Some Japanese also turn masks into fashion accessories (配饰), with different colors and patterns to match their clothes. Wearing masks is also a way to “hide” for young women when they don’t have their makeup on.

In more collectivist (集体主义的) cultures in Asia, wearing masks might also be a symbol of solidarity (团结) during the outbreak, according to Lynteris. “Mask culture [in Asia] creates a sense of a fate (命运) shared, common obligation and civic (公民的) duty.” People wear masks “to show that they want to stick together” in the face of danger, Lynteris wrote.

26. Why don’t healthy people in the West wear masks?

A. They don’t think masks can prevent disease. B. They think masks are for sick people to wear. C. Only medical workers need to wear masks. D. Wearing a mask looks funny.

27. Masks have been widely used in China since _____.

A. the invention of the modern medical mask B. the pneumonic plague in 1910 C. Christos Lynteris wore one publicly

D. the outbreak of SARS in 2003

28. What does Lynteris mean in the last paragraph?

A. People have no sense of duty if they don’t wear masks. B. Mask culture creates a sense of collective obligation. C. Asian people are more united in the face of danger. D. We are a community with a shared future for mankind. 29. What does the underline word “hoarding” in paragraph 4 mean?

A. buying enough things people need

B. collecting and keeping a large amount of things C. selling a large amount of things D. giving others something that they need 30. The purpose of the story is to _____.

A. explain why Westerners don’t wear masks

B. prove the importance of wearing masks during an epidemic C. show how opinions about masks differ between different countries D. explain the history of masks

B
