【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍中国筷子的历史以及筷子的风俗习惯。
【1】考查介词。句意:我们中国人用筷子吃饭。介词with“和……在一起,用”符合句意,故填with。
【2】考查一般过去时态的被动语态。句意:据说中国最早的筷子是在5000多年前发明的。主语从句的主语是chopsticks,复数形式,和谓语动词develop之间是一种被动关系,再根据时间状语over 5,000 years ago可知,此处用一般过去时态的被动语态,故填were developed。
【3】考查形容词最高级。句意:出土于河南安阳附近的殷墟,可以追溯到公元前1200年左右,这是最早的青铜筷子的证据。定冠词the用在形容词最高级前面,再结合句意可知此处用形容词最高级,故填earliest。
【4】考查非限制性定语从句。句意:筷子在中国各地的尺寸大致相同,可以用多种材料制成,包括竹子、木材、塑料、银和金。此处Chopsticks是先行词,指物,放在后面的定语从句中作主语,且that不能引导非限制性定语从句,故填which。
【5】考查名词复数。句意:筷子在中国各地的尺寸大致相同,可以用多种材料制成,包括竹子、木材、塑料、银和金。固定词组:a variety of“各种各样的”。后面跟名词复数,故填materials。
【6】考查不定冠词an的用法。句意:筷子在中国饮食文化中扮演着重要的角色。固定词组:play a role in“在……中扮演角色”。此处important以元音因素开头,表示“一”时用不定冠词an。故填an。
【7】考查动名词作主语。句意:这是因为维持足够的食物供应是天地之间最大的关系。此处because引导的表语从句中缺少主语,所给词maintain是动词,所以这里是动名词作主语,故填maintaining。
【8】考查名词。句意:中国有一个古老的习俗,那就是制作筷子,作为女孩的嫁妆,因为kuaizi的发音与“快”和“儿子”的发音相似。分析句子结构the___8___(pronounce) of可知此空用名词,所给词pronounce是动词,其名词形式是pronunciation。故填pronunciation。
【9】考查副词。句意:筷子在日常生活中经常使用。此处used是动词,由副词修饰,故填frequently。
【10】考查形容词性物主代词。句意:它们已经不仅仅是一种餐具,而且已经形成了自己的一套礼仪和习俗。此处own“自己的”是形容词,和形容词性物主代词连用,故填their。
