Question

【題目】 There's been increased attention on this in recent weeks, with the unsettling spread of the coronavirus around the world. When a video of Naomi Campbell cleaning her airplane seat and wearing a mask and gloves was shared online last year, it made the rounds because her behavior seemed exaggerated. “ 【1】 And we know that germs can live on surfaces for a long time, so it doesn't hurt to clean it," said Aaron Milstone, an epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. Here are some tips for cleaning your area of a plane and keeping healthy on a flight.

Keep your hands clean and stop touching your face

"Wiping down surfaces on a plane won't hurt, as long as it doesn't give you a false sense of security,” Andrew Mehle, associate professor of medical microbiology said, stressing that cleaning your space on a plane should be done in conjunction with washing hands and following other best practices. Good habits are not easily formed. 【2】 Doing so after touching a surface where droplets from when someone sneezed or coughed can lead to the virus being passed on.

【3】

A study from Emory University found that during flu season, the safest place to sit on a plane is by a window. Researchers studied passengers and crew members on 10 three-to-five-hour flights and observed that people sitting in window seats had less contact with potentially sick people.

Disinfect hard surfaces

When you get to your seat and your hands are clean, use disinfecting wipes to clean the hard surfaces at your seat like the head and arm rest, the seatbelt buckle（帶扣）, the remote, screen, seat back pocket and the tray table. If the seat is hard and nonporous （無(wú)孔的）or leather, you can wipe that down too. 【4】In addition, pay attention to your disinfecting wipes, which would typically say on the packaging how long asurface needs to stay wet in order for them to work.【5】 In order for the wipes to work, you need to follow those time requirements.

A.Choose a window seat.

B.A window seat is the best option.

C.The airplane and airplane seat is a public space.

D.Good habits arc essential in this particular time.

E.That time can range from 30 seconds to a few minutes.

F.Most people tend to touch their faces more often than they realize.

G.However, using wipes on cushions could lead to a wet scat and spreading of germs.

本文為一篇說(shuō)明文。文章介紹了新冠疫情的蔓延下，坐飛機(jī)時(shí)保護(hù)自己的方法。

【1】

結(jié)合后文And we know that germs can live on surfaces for a long time, so it doesn't hurt to clean it. 我們都知道細(xì)菌可以在表面存活很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間，所以清潔一下也無(wú)妨。C. The airplane and airplane scat is a public space. 飛機(jī)和飛機(jī)座位都屬于公共空間。引出后文解釋需要清潔的原因是飛機(jī)和飛機(jī)座位屬于公共空間，并且細(xì)菌可以存活很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間。故選C項(xiàng)。

【2】

結(jié)合本段小標(biāo)題Keep your hands clean and stop touching your face手要干凈，不要碰臉。F. Most people tend to touch their faces more often than they realize. 大多數(shù)人傾向于比他們意識(shí)到的更頻繁地觸摸他們的臉。符合此處語(yǔ)境。故選F項(xiàng)。

【3】

結(jié)合后文A study from Emory University found that during flu season, the safest place to sit on a plane is by a window. 埃默里大學(xué)的一項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，在流感季節(jié)，坐飛機(jī)最安全的地方是靠窗戶。因此，本段描述選擇靠窗的座位更安全。A. Choose a window seat. 選擇靠窗的座位。符合本段中心。故選A項(xiàng)。

【4】

結(jié)合前文If the seat is hard and nonporous （無(wú)孔的）or leather, you can wipe that down too. 如果座椅是硬的，沒(méi)有孔的，或者是皮革的，你也可以把它擦干凈。G. However, using wipes on cushions could lead to a wet scat and spreading of germs. 然而，在墊子上使用濕巾可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致濕疹和細(xì)菌傳播。與前文擦拭硬物形成轉(zhuǎn)折，解釋在墊子上使用濕巾會(huì)導(dǎo)致細(xì)菌傳播而不是殺滅細(xì)菌。故選G項(xiàng)。

【5】

結(jié)合前文In addition, pay attention to your disinfecting wipes, which would typically say on the packaging how long a surface needs to stay wet in order for them to work. 另外，注意你的消毒濕巾，它通常會(huì)在包裝上寫(xiě)上一個(gè)表面需要保持濕潤(rùn)多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間才有效。E.
