Question

【题目】阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

We touch our faces all the time, and it had never seemed to be a big problem – until COVID-19 arrived. 【1】 (touch) our faces – the “T-zone” of our eyes, nose and mouth in particular – can mean giving ourselves the 【2】 (dead) virus. This is why 【3】 (organization) like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have suggested that we avoid touching our faces. “Just stop this simple behavior,” William Sawyer, founder of Henry the Hand, a nonprofit organization that promotes hand hygiene(卫生), 【4】(tell) The Washington Post. “It’s the one behavior 【5】 would be better than any vaccine ever created.”

Yet, stopping this “simple” behavior might be harder than you think because it’s already hardwired(固有的) into our system. Some face touching is automatic – like when there is 【6】 itch on your nose, you’ll scratch it without thinking. Moreover, face-touching is subconscious, 【7】 means it’s very hard to change because you don’t even know you’re doing it. 【8】you’re not alone. In a 2015 study, where a group of medical students 【9】 (film) in class, it was found that they touched their faces an average of 23 times an hour – with 44 percent of the touches being in the “T-zones”. That was particularly surprising since medical students were supposed 【10】(know) better. Since it’s so hard to shake the habit, maybe the easiest way is to wash our hands more often. This way, we can be sure that our hands are free from the novel coronavirus.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人们日常喜欢触摸脸的这个习惯背后的隐患，尤其是在COVID-19肆虐的情况下，许多组织建议人们避免触碰自己的脸。文章还分析了要停止这个动作比想象中困难的原因，建议多洗手，确保双手免受新型冠状病毒的感染。

【1】

考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知touch在句中应用非谓语动词形式，且句中缺少主语，故应用动名词短语touching our faces作主语，句首单词首字母要大写。故填Touching。

【2】

考查形容词。修饰后文名词virus应用形容词作定语，且表示“致命的”应用deadly。故填deadly。

【3】

考查名词的数。organization为可数名词，结合后文like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)可知应用复数形式。故填organizations。

【4】

考查动词时态。句意：倡导手部卫生的非营利组织“亨利之手”的创始人William Sawyer对《华盛顿邮报》说:“只要停止这种简单的行为。”动作发生在过去，应用一般过去时。故填told。

【5】

考查强调句。句意：这是一种比任何疫苗都好的行为。分析句子结构可知此处为强调句结构“it be+被强调部分+that/who+其他”，此处被强调部分为the one behavior，故应用that。故填that。

【6】

考查冠词。itch为可数名词，此处表泛指应用不定冠词，且itch为元音音素开头的单词故用an。故填an。

【7】

考查定语从句。句意：此外，碰脸是潜意识的，这意味着很难改变，因为你甚至不知道你在做什么。此处为非限定性定语从句修饰上文整个句子，且从句中缺少主语，故用关系代词which。故填which。

【8】

考查连词。句意：但你不是一个人。结合上下文语境可知为转折关系，故应用连词but。句首单词首字母要大写。故填But。

【9】

考查动词时态语态。句中主语与谓语动词构成被动关系，且事情发生在2015年应用一般过去时，主语为a group of medical students，谓语动词用复数形式。故填were filmed。

【10】

考查非谓语动词。句意：这尤其令人惊讶，因为医学院的学生应该知道得更多。结合句意表示“应该做某事”短语为be supposed to do sth.。故填to know。
