A

These years, a few big changes in city life in China have drawn the world’s attention. Among them, four stand out ( 突 出 ). They are known as “China’s four great modern inventions” among the Internet users.

Online shopping

China has many big online shopping platforms (平台), such as Taobao, Tmall (天猫) and JD. (京东) com. They have made online shopping a lifestyle choice for many people in China. Some foreign customers have even made foreign-language websites to help foreigners buy goods (产品) from China.

High-speed trains

On Sept. 21, China’s new high-speed train Fuxing made its first run from Beijing to Shanghai. It ran at a speed of 350 km/h. This makes it the fastest train in the world. In fact, the high-speed train is now China’s new name card overseas (在海外).

Cashless payment (无现金支付)

In China, now you could just pay with your telephone to buy things. All you need to do is to scan (扫描) a store’s QR code (二维码). Even a vegetable seller on the roadside has a QR code for WeChat Pay or Alipay (微信支付或者支付宝).

In China, there are about 10 million shared bikes. Users unlock (解锁) bikes using mobile apps (移

动应用程序). They don’t need to find stations to leave the bikes. This makes bike-sharing much easier.

When an Italian man went to work with a mask (口罩) to protect himself from the COVID-19, he was criticized (批评) by his workmates for causing panic (恐慌). But in China and other Asian countries, almost everyone wears a mask during outbreaks (爆发). Why do the East and the West have different ideas about wearing masks?

In the West, people wear masks only when they get sick. People see masks as a tool to protect sick people and stop disease (疾病) from spreading, so healthy people don’t need to wear them. If a person goes out with a mask, other people may look at him like a virus ( 病 毒 ) spreader. Even their friends tried to stay away from them. Some Western people say wearing a mask in public makes them feel “worried”, “shy”, and “afraid of being looked at differently”. But as the number of COVID-19 cases ( 病 例 ) keeps growing around the world, more and more healthy people are starting to wear masks to protect themselves, people in the West are changing their ideas.

In Asian countries like China and Japan, wearing masks is common. In 1910, Chinese doctor Wu Liande invented the modern medical mask. During the 2003 SARS，people used masks widely in China and East Asia. Many Chinese also wear masks to keep warm in winter or protect against air pollution. In Japan, some young women may wear masks when they don’t have their makeup ( 化 妆 ) on. Many pop stars in Asia also wear masks to protect their privacy ( 隐 私 ) when they go out. This cultural background has made it easier for people in the East to wear masks during the COVID-19 outbreak.

61. How did the Italian man’s workmates feel about him?

A. He caused panic. B. He was too worried to work.

C. He didn’t want to go to work. D. He wanted to protect himself.

62. Why do Western people refuse to wear masks?

A. Because they are afraid to look ugly with face masks.

B. Because they don’t want others to know they are ill.

C. Because they hope to comfort other people in this way.

D. Because they don’t think healthy people need masks.

63. Where was the modern medical mask invented?

A. In England. B. In China. C. In Japan. D. In the USA.

64. Which of the following is Not TRUE according to the passage?

A. Asian people wear masks to protect their privacy.

B. Asian people wear masks to protect against air pollution.

C. Asian people wear masks to stop disease from spreading.

D. Asian people wear masks to make them look fashionable (时尚的).

65. What does the passage mainly talk about? .

A. Western people’s trouble of wearing masks.

B. The reasons why masks are popular in Asian culture.

C. Different ideas of using masks in Eastern and Western countries.

D. The importance of wearing masks during the COVID-19 outbreak.

How do animals recognize (识别) human’s faces? This question is at the heart of Chinese American scientist Doris Tsao’s research. Tsao was known as one of the winners of 2018 MacArthur Award (麦克阿瑟奖)-one of the highest academic (学术的) honors in the US. Each year, the MacArthur Foundation chooses twenty to thirty talented people and gives money for their work.

Tsao’s team does some experiments (实验) with monkeys. The scientists found out that there are about 200 nerve cells (神经细胞) in the monkeys’ brains. They can help the monkeys to recognize faces. Each cell can recognize a different facial (面部的) characteristic，such as the shape of our face or the color of our skin. With all of the information, monkeys can build a picture of a person’s face in their minds.

Through their study, the scientists showed us how monkeys “see” human faces in their own minds. They showed the monkeys pictures of some different human faces. At the same time, they recorded the activity of every nerve cell in the monkeys’ brains. Then, they were able to use computer to study this brain activity and finally find out the faces that the monkeys “saw” in their minds.

Although the study was about monkeys, scientists believe that human beings might recognize faces in a similar way. Police could use this technology in the future. They could recreate ( 重 现 ) the face of a bad guy by recording a witness’ (目击证人) brain activity, Tsao told the Daily Mail.

66. What can help the monkeys recognize a person’s face?

A. Eyes. B. Nerve cells. C. Skin color. D. Experiments.

67. How did the scientists find out the faces in the monkeys’ minds?

A. By putting computers into the monkeys’ brains.

B. By asking an artist to draw pictures of the faces.

C. By showing the pictures of human faces to the monkeys.

D. By recording the brain activity and studying it with computer.

68. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The MacArthur Foundation chooses hard-working people.

B. Scientists think humans recognize faces in a different way.

C. There are more than 200 cell nerves in a monkey’s brain.

D. Tsao believes this technology could be used to find bad guys.

69. What does the underlined word “characteristic” mean in Chinese?

A. 表情 B. 性格 C. 特征 D. 动作

70. What is the best title of the passage?

A. How Monkeys See Us B. Where We Can Find a Bad Guy

C. What Human Faces Are Like D. Why the Experiments with Monkeys Are Successful
