Question

【題目】語(yǔ)法填空
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 hardwoods and metal (create) special design.
The Chinese have used chopsticks for five thousand years. People probably cooked their food in large pots, (use) twigs(樹(shù)枝) to remove it. 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, lived from 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 not used 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】本題主要考査詞法和句法知識(shí)，集中考査了詞性轉(zhuǎn)換，并列句，定語(yǔ)從句，狀語(yǔ)從句和非請(qǐng)語(yǔ) 動(dòng)詞等語(yǔ)法知識(shí)。

（1）and 考査并列連詞。這里列舉了一些亞洲的國(guó)家，它們是并列關(guān)系，故填and。

（2）be made 考査固定詞組。精美的筷子可能由金或銀制成并刻有漢字。sth be made of...某物由……制成，情態(tài)動(dòng)詞后跟動(dòng)詞原形，故填be made。

（3）to create 考査不定式作目的狀語(yǔ)。技術(shù)嫻熟的工人會(huì)把各種各樣的硬質(zhì)木材和金屬結(jié)合起來(lái)，以創(chuàng)造出特殊風(fēng)格的筷子。這里用不定式表目的，故填to create。

（4）using 考査現(xiàn)在分詞作伴隨狀語(yǔ)。人們可能在大鍋里煮食物，用樹(shù)枝移動(dòng)里面的食物。use的遺輯主語(yǔ)是people，兩者是主動(dòng)關(guān)系，用現(xiàn)在分詞表示伴隨狀況，故填using。

（5）as/when 考査連詞。句意：隨著人口的增長(zhǎng)，人們開(kāi)始把食物切成小塊，這樣可以煮得快一點(diǎn)。as表示“隨著……”，when意為“當(dāng)……時(shí)”，都適合這里的語(yǔ)境。故填as/when。

（6）gradually 考查副詞。副詞修飾動(dòng)詞或形容詞，這里修飾動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)turned into,應(yīng)該用副詞，故填gradually。

（7）who 考查非限制性定語(yǔ)從句。句中有逗號(hào)，說(shuō)明是非限制性定語(yǔ)從句，先行詞是Confucius孔子，定語(yǔ)從句缺少主語(yǔ)，且指人，故填who。

（8）development 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。

（9）were 考查時(shí)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(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句，and連接了兩個(gè)并列的謂語(yǔ)，主語(yǔ)knives是復(fù)數(shù)，根據(jù)時(shí)態(tài)一致的原則，這里用一般過(guò)去時(shí)，故填were。

（10）with 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。
