【解析】

本文是說明文。本文說明了由于文化差異，在疫情期間，西方人不愿意像亞洲人一樣戴口罩的現(xiàn)象。

【1】考查介詞。句意：幾乎每個中國人都帶口罩，保護自己和他人不感染細菌。protect somebody against保護某人免受……。故填against。

【2】考查狀語從句連接詞。句意：即使被感染的同胞數(shù)量增長，西方人仍然不愿意戴口罩。前后表示讓步關系。故填Even if /though。

【3】考查非謂語動詞。句意：據(jù)《環(huán)球時報》報道，對戴口罩的不同態(tài)度很大程度上在于文化。 attitudes toward doing表示“對……的態(tài)度”。故填wearing。

【4】考查主語從句。句意：在西方，人們普遍認為除非一個人已經(jīng)病了，戴口罩是沒必要的。is前是主語從句，從句中believe缺少賓語，且指物，所以用what。故填what。.

【5】考查動詞時態(tài)。句意：在你健康時戴口罩會導致其他人緊張。前面戴口罩的事情“將會”給別人帶來緊張感，所以使用一般將來時。故填will cause。

【6】考查情態(tài)動詞。句意：一般健康的人不應該戴口罩。根據(jù)下文美國感染防御專家的話得知，他認為不“應該”戴口罩，should在這里表示勸告或者建議。故填should。

【7】考查非謂語動詞。句意：在亞洲，珍視集體主義的人們總想為自己的集體做貢獻。前后主語一致，主語people與動詞value之間為主動關系，所以用現(xiàn)在分詞作狀語。故填Valuing。

【8】考查定語從句。句意：在亞洲，珍視集體主義的人們總想為自己的集體做貢獻。先行詞是group，在定語從句中做介詞to的賓語，指物用that或which，故填that/which。

【9】考查非謂語動詞。句意：在這樣一個充滿不確定性和潛在危險的時期，很多人負責的戴上口罩確保社區(qū)的安全。名詞responsibility后闡述的是一個以后要做的事情，用不定式作定語，故填to wear。

【10】考查非謂語動詞。句意：受社會文化影響，東方和西方人們對戴口罩的態(tài)度不同。根據(jù)后面的介詞by，得知是“被影響”，用過去分詞表示被動，故填Influenced。
