In much of Asia, especially the so-called＂rice bowl＂ cultures of China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam,food is usually eaten with chopsticks.
Chopsticks are usually two long, thin pieces of wood or bamboo.They can also be made of plastic, animal bone or metal. Sometimes chopsticks are quite artistic. Truly elegant chopsticks might (make) of gold and silver with Chinese characters. Skilled workers also combine various hard woods and metal (create)special designs.
The Chinese have used chopsticks for five thousand years. People probably cooked their food in large pots, (use) twigs(樹枝)to removeit. Over time, the population grew, people began cutting food into small pieces so it would cook more quickly.
Food in small pieces could be eaten easily with twigs which (gradual) turned into chopsticks.
Some people think that the great Chinese scholar Confucius, livedfrom roughly 551 to 479 B.C., influenced the (develop) of chopsticks. Confucius believed knives would remind people of killings and (be) too violent for use at the table.
Chopsticks are notused everywhere in Asia. In India, for example, most people traditionally eat their hands.

Answer 1

【答案】and；be made；to create；using；as/when；gradually；who；development；were；with
【解析】本題主要考查詞法和句法知識，集中考查了詞性轉(zhuǎn)換，并列句，定語從句，狀語從句和非謂語動詞等語法知識。
①and考查并列連詞。這里列舉了一些亞洲的國家，他們是并列關(guān)系，故填and。
②be made考查固定詞組。sth be made of精美的筷子可能非由金或銀制成的筷子莫屬�！�某物由…制成，情態(tài)動詞后跟動詞原形，故填be made。
③to create考查不定式作目的狀語。技術(shù)嫻熟的工人會把各種各樣的硬質(zhì)木材和金屬結(jié)合起來，以創(chuàng)造出特殊風格的筷子。這里用不定式表目的，故填to create。
④using考查現(xiàn)在分詞作伴隨狀語。人們可能使用大鍋煮食物，用樹枝把鍋移開，use的邏輯主語是people，兩者是主動關(guān)系，用現(xiàn)在分詞表示伴隨狀況，故填using。
⑤as/when考查時間狀語從句。句意：隨著人口的增長，人們開始把食物切成小塊，這樣可以煮得快一點，這里是時間狀語從句，when意為“當……時候”，后跟長動作或短動作，故填as／when。
⑥gradually考查副詞。副詞修飾動詞或形容詞，這里修飾動詞短語turned into，應(yīng)該用副詞，故填gradually。
⑦who考查非限制性定語從句。劇中有逗號，說明是非限制性定語從句，先行詞是Confucius孔子，定語從句缺少主語，且指人，故填who。
⑧development考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。the＋名詞＋of，意為“……的……”，這里指“筷子的發(fā)展”，故填development。
⑨were考查時態(tài)。根據(jù)句意可知，這里指的是刀子因太暴力而不適合在餐桌上使用，believed后跟一個賓語從句，and連接了兩個并列的謂語，主語knives是復(fù)數(shù)，根據(jù)時態(tài)一致的原則，這里用一般過去時，故填were。
⑩with考查介詞。句意：在印度，大部分人還是用傳統(tǒng)的吃飯方法－－用手拿，with＋表示具體工具的名詞，故填with。
