24、 As the global pandemic (大流行病) speeds up, many are wondering about the effectiveness of masks and when it's necessary to wear them. Most people from the East believe that wearing 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 unnecessary.
In Eastern countries like China, mask-wearing is ingrained in their cultures. In fact, people in the East wear masks not just to protect themselves from illness but also for a variety of other reasons.
In many Asian countries, masks are worn in many scenarios (情景) in daily life, such as doing housework or 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, deeply rooted in the culture, is also an outward expression of group-oriented values. With one's face partially covered, one becomes part of a giant collectivist (集体主义的) whole. "People communicated their responsibilities to the social group of which 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 (突显) to collective identity. Just like we need to wear uniforms when we are at work or at school."
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. However, a face mask is taken as something only for those showing symptoms (症状) 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 different they are.
【1】The underlined word "ingrained" in Paragraph 2 probably means "__________".

【2】The third and fourth paragraph are written to show__________.
A.how people in Asia use masks

D.when Asian culture and value work
【3】The writer probably agrees that__________.
A.wearing a mask is a good way to show one's personality
B.it is not necessary for those who are healthy to wear a mask
C.whether we choose to wear a mask is a reflection of our culture
D.westerners take wearing a mask as a useful way to protect themselves
25、 One day in the eighth grade, I was taking a Math Test trigonometry (三角学) . Now for a middle school student, there was nothing easy about it. So I had studied for about two hours the night before. After reviewing it for some time, I had started to understand it, so then I closed the book and _________. However, it was not until midnight that I fell asleep. The next day, when I got the test, I tried my best to work out the hard problems, but the numbers I came up with were strange. I sat back on my chair and looked for any possible answers, but I could not remember anything or think correctly. I started thinking about my dad coming home from work to find that I failed the test.
“How could you have failed the test? I am sure that nobody else in the whole class got as bad a grade as you did!”
Naturally I didn’t want that to happen. My dad was also really busy at work at present, so I was afraid that this may make him mad. When feeling hopeless, I noticed that my table partner was writing fast on his test. I was attracted to look over at his test, but then the many bad results I had heard about cheating (作弊) came into my mind. I know that if I started cheating now, it would be hard to give up that habit during high school. In the end, I decided not to copy his answers, and got a B on that test. Even though my dad gave me a hard time about it, it would have been a lot worse if he found out that I had given in and cheated.

26、 Zhang Dingyu, the director of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, leads over 600 doctors and nurses fighting against the novel coronavirus pneumonia, which has caused hundreds of deaths in central Hubei Province. As Zhang led over 600 doctors and nurses fighting the disease, his strange way of walking shocked his colleagues.

27、We’ll finally grow up someday, leaving our parents and facing the challenges in life. Parents may not be able to solve every problem for us. Instead, we should have enough life skills to cope with the problems that come our way.
This is what our country tries to do now — helping more students gain working spirit. To stress the importance of hard-working spirit education (劳动教育) among students of different ages, the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council released a guideline recently.
The guideline calls for students to respect work. Students should learn basic life skills and form good working habits through such education.
The government has been trying to stress the importance of hard-working spirit education. But this has been overlooked in recent years. Many teens do not know about the importance of working hard and are uninterested in doing so.
According to a study of nearly 3,000 students that was done by Ningbo Evening News in March, only 22 percent of primary and middle school students help with everyday chores around the house.
Schools and families play an important role in teaching students about the value of working hard, the guideline says. Primary and middle schools should provide students with hard-working spirit classes every week, according to the guideline. Schools can also hold activities to give students real-world work experience. For example, schools can teach children how to plant trees on Tree-Planting Day.
As children’s first teachers, parents should also encourage children to learn how to do chores at home. Students should master one or two life skills every year. These skills can include cooking, washing their own clothes and tidying their rooms.
【1】The guideline was released in order to ________.
A.teach students how to do chores at home
B.call for students to respect work
C.help students solve life problems
【2】What does the underlined word “overlooked” in Paragraph 4 mean?

B.忽视
C.反复观看
【3】What is Paragraph 5 trying to tell us?
A.Only 3,000 students help with housework.
B.Students pay no attention to work spirit.
C.About one-fifth of students help with housework every day.
【4】According to the guideline, schools should ________.
A.provide both guidance and chances for real work
B.hand out the guideline to every student
C.give parents homework
【5】Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the article?
A.Schools can teach children to make zongzi at the Dragon Boat Festival.

C.Students should master one or two life skills every month.
28、 Chinese writing is one of the world’s greatest writing systems. It is more widely in use than alphabetic(字母的) writing systems. More than half of the world’s books are written in Chinese, i【1】historical writing and novels, along with writing on government and law.
At the beginning, written Chinese was a picture-based l【2】. It dates back several thousand years to the use of animals bones and shells on w【3】symbols were carved(刻) by ancient Chinese people. Some of the ancient symbols can still be seen in t【4】hanzi.
By the Shang Dynasty, these symbols had become a well-developed writing system. Over the years, the system d【5】into different forms, as it was a time when people were divided geographically, leading to different dialects(方言) and characters. This, however, c【6】 under Emperor Qinshihuang of the Qin Dynasty.
Emperor Qinshihuang united(统一) the seven major states into one country where the Chinese writing system began to develop in one direction. That writing system was of great i【7】 in uniting the Chinese people and culture. Even today, no matter where Chinese people live or what dialect they speak, they can all still communicate in w【8】. Written Chinese has also become an important method to connect China’s present with its p【9】. People in modern times can read the classic works which were written by Chinese in ancient times.
Today, Chinese writing system is still an important part of Chinese culture. As China plays a great role in the world, an increasing number of international students are beginning to appreciate(欣赏) China’s culture t【10】this amazing language. Written Chinese spreads Chinese culture wherever it goes.
29、
This is a picture of something I did at my school last year. I wrote out 1,986 notes. Each said, “You’re beautiful,” and I stuck one to every locker in my school.
It was almost unbearable (难以忍受的) to listen to people put themselves down every day. They would say things like, “I’m ugly” or “No one likes me”. To me, that wasn’t the . For at least one day, I wanted everyone to know that someone _____ they were beautiful.
It took me over 6 hours to write all of the notes, and an hour to stick them with the help of one other friend. It wasn’t my original (最初的) to tell people that I had done it, but words got out after I had been called to the Dean’s office. They found me through the school’s video surveillance system.
After I everything that had happened, there was talk of a possible 3-day suspension from school (暂时停学). When I went back to my classroom, my teacher me what they said, and I told her. This is how the rest of the students found out. Throughout the whole day, words of the possible suspension circulated (流传), and a group of students came together and formed a petition (请愿书). They passed the petition school.
In the end, it had over 600 signatures (签名), from both students and faculty.
It amazed me that people would do that for me. For one day, I truly felt . And for one day, I managed to make every other kid in my school feel beautiful as well.
A few days later, after the incident (事件) was not , a complete stranger approached me. What she said to me was shocking.
“That day, I was planning on killing myself. I had given up completely on society, but because of you, I didn’t. You gave me . Thank you.”
What’s more than that is the fact that today she has become one of my best friends.
