Though chopsticks are used in many Asian countries, they have their beginning in China. Chinese history says that the Chinese had chopsticks as far as the Xia Dynasty (about 4,000 years ago). In the Spring and Autumn Period copper and iron chopsticks appeared. Then the Han Dynasty lacquered (上漆) chopsticks came, followed by gold and silver chopsticks still later. Today we have chopsticks made of plastics. The most expensive chopsticks are made of part of tusks of elephants and hard green stone.
Chopsticks tell Chinese tradition in their way. In ancient times the rich used hard green stones or gold chopsticks to show their wealth. In history many kings used silver chopsticks to take their food to see if it was poisonous (有毒的). It was said that if it was, the silver chopsticks would turn black. Chopsticks are traditionally given to a daughter when she marries to show that they should have a son very soon, for “Chopsticks” in Chinese is pronounced like “quick a son”!
Tianzhu chopsticks from Hangzhou, wooden chopsticks from Shanyang of Shanxi Province, and Beijing’s chopsticks are well-known. Many Westerners, businessmen, tourists put aside their knives and forks in favor of chopsticks in China. Chopsticks appeared in the old Chinese story: an old man teaches his sons a lesson by showing how he could easily break a single chopstick but not a number of them. In China, chopsticks are connected with good luck. So on the country’s New Year’s Eve many families will lay out new chopsticks at dinners as a way of making requests for luck.

A In the Xia Dynasty.
B. In the Spring and Autumn Period.

阅读下面短文,根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。
For centuries, China has been known as “a state of ceremonies” which means Liyi Zhibang. There was much greeting etiquette in ancient China. And the fist-and-palm salute (拱手礼) was quite a classic example. Today, although Chinese people usually shake hands when meeting friends and relatives, people still make fist-and-palm salutes when they are paying a visit to someone during the Spring Festival or attending someone’s wedding or birthday reception.
The fist-and-palm salute has a history of more than 3,000 years. Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, people had already performed it when meeting peers. In ancient times, if people met a stranger, they would tend to prepare for a fight if necessary, and their hands were always ready for holding any weapon (武器). Holding hands together pointed towards themselves was a gesture of saying “relax” meaning “I’m not with any weapons and I’m not here to pick a fight.” Later, it became the etiquette when people met each other or showed thanks.
So, how should people do the fist-and-palm salute properly? Firstly, stand at attention. If you’re a man, make a half fist with your right hand, then hold the right hand with your left hand in front of your chest, look at the person, raise both hands to the eyebrow (眉毛), bend down and shake hands gently three times. At the same time, you can also say some lucky greeting words. If you’re a woman, you should do it the other way which should be the right hand on the top.
People may be more familiar with the hold-fist salute, called Baoquan li in Chinese. It is widely used among the kung fu masters and students. This gesture is formed by holding the right fist very tightly closed and covering it with the left hand open, and extending both arms slightly forward in front of the chest. Make sure the left thumb is close to the index finger (食指) and don’t point it at yourself, as it shows arrogance (傲慢).
13. What does the underlined word “etiquette” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Need. B. Manners. C. Time.
14. Which picture shows the correct way for women to do the fist-and-palm salute?
A. B. C.
15. If Mike wants to do the hold-fist salute, he should .
A. keep his right hand open
B. put his right hand on his left
C. not point his left thumb at himself
16. What can we learn from the passage?
A. There are no standards for these two salutes.
B. The fist-and-palm salute is more common in kung fu.
C. These two salutes seem similar, but they are quite different.

For centuries, China has been known as “a state of ceremonies” which means Liyi Zhibang. There was much greeting etiquette in ancient China. And the fist-and-palm salute (拱手礼) was quite a classic example. Today, although Chinese people usually shake hands when meeting friends and relatives, people still make fist-and-palm salutes when they are paying a visit to someone during the Spring Festival or attending someone’s wedding or birthday reception.
The fist-and-palm salute has a history of more than 3,000 years. Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, people had already performed it when meeting peers. In ancient times, if people met a stranger, they would tend to prepare for a fight if necessary, and their hands were always ready for holding any weapon (武器). Holding hands together pointed towards themselves was a gesture of saying “relax” meaning “I’m not with any weapons and I’m not here to pick a fight.” Later, it became the etiquette when people met each other or showed thanks.
So, how should people do the fist-and-palm salute properly? Firstly, stand at attention. If you’re a man, make a half fist with your right hand, then hold the right hand with your left hand in front of your chest, look at the person, raise both hands to the eyebrow (眉毛), bend down and shake hands gently three times. At the same time, you can also say some lucky greeting words. If you’re a woman, you should do it the other way which should be the right hand on the top.
People may be more familiar with the hold-fist salute, called Baoquan li in Chinese. It is widely used among the kung fu masters and students. This gesture is formed by holding the right fist very tightly closed and covering it with the left hand open, and extending both arms slightly forward in front of the chest. Make sure the left thumb is close to the index finger (食指) and don’t point it at yourself, as it shows arrogance (傲慢).
13. What does the underlined word “etiquette” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Need. B. Manners. C. Time.
14. Which picture shows the correct way for women to do the fist-and-palm salute?
A. B. C.
15. If Mike wants to do the hold-fist salute, he should .
A. keep his right hand open
B. put his right hand on his left
C. not point his left thumb at himself
16. What can we learn from the passage?
A. There are no standards for these two salutes.
B. The fist-and-palm salute is more common in kung fu.
C. These two salutes seem similar, but they are quite different.
【答案】13. B 14. A 15. C 16. C
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了拱手礼和抱拳礼。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“There was much greeting etiquette in ancient China. And the fist-and-palm salute (拱手礼) was quite a classic example.”可知拱手礼是一个相当经典的例子,因此etiquette是指礼仪,故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据“So, how should people do the fist-and-palm salute properly? Firstly, stand at attention. If you’re a man, make a half fist with your right hand, then hold the right hand with your left hand in front of your chest, look at the person, raise both hands to the eyebrow (眉毛), bend down and shake hands gently three times. At the same time, you can also say some lucky greeting words. If you’re a woman, you should do it the other way which should be the right hand on the top.”可知用你的右手握半个拳头,然后左手放在胸前握住右手,如果你是女人,你应该用另一种方式来做,应该是右手放在上面。故选A。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据“People may be more familiar with the hold-fist salute…Make sure the left thumb is close to the index finger (食指) and don’t point it at yourself, as it shows arrogance (傲慢).”可知抱拳礼确保左手拇指靠近食指,不要指向自己,因为这会显示出傲慢。故选C。

If you’re a man, make a half fist with your right hand, then hold the right hand with your left hand in front of your chest, look at the person, raise both hands to the eyebrow (眉毛), bend down and shake hands gently three times.”以及“People may be more familiar with the hold-fist salute, called Baoquan li in Chinese. It is widely used among the kung fu masters and students. This gesture is formed by holding the right fist very tightly closed and covering it with the left hand open, and extending both arms slightly forward in front of the chest.”可知抱拳礼握紧右拳,左手张开遮住右拳,双臂在胸前微微向前伸展;拱手礼如果你是男人,用你的右手握半个拳头,然后左手放在胸前握住右手,如果是女人,你应该用另一种方式来做,应该是右手放在上面。因此这两个敬礼看似相似,但却截然不同。故选C。

【分析】文章大意:本文讲述了书的由来和发展历史。
【31题详解】
句意:首先,来说一下写作的由来,大概在5500年以前。由题干可知“about 5, 500 years ago”是句子的时间状语,所以空格处应填副词,与probable所对应的副词形式为probably,故答案填probably。
【32题详解】
句意:他们能够与他们从未见过的人交流,并与子孙后代们分享他们的知识。由题干可知空格处是定语从句的谓语动词,根据主句中的could可判断从句是时态用一般过去时,提示词see的过去式为saw,故答案填saw。
【33题详解】
句意:后来,希腊人因他们的文学和科学而著名,但是他们的“书籍”和现在的书籍大不相同。由题干可知本句考查固定搭配different from/to/than“不同于…”,故答案填from/to/than。
【34题详解】
句意:大约2000之前,有很多书页的书被发明了。分析题干可知书和发明之间是被动关系,时态为一般过去时,books为复数,所以系动词be用were,故答案填were invented。
【35题详解】
句意:书页由兽皮制作的那种现象在13世纪发生了变化。根据句意“在十三世纪”,in the xxth century表示“在第几世纪”,序数词前面要用定冠词the,故答案填the。
【36题详解】
句意:当欧洲人了解到中国一个非常有用的发明“纸”的时候。空格后面的invention为名词,意思是“发明”,要用形容词来修饰,根据句意可知此处是“有用的”,英文表达是useful,故答案填useful。
【37题详解】
句意:更多的人能买得起通过印刷机生产的书。本题考查定语从句,分析题干可知先行词是物:the books,所以关系词用that或者which,故答案填that/which。
【38题详解】
句意:现在很难想象一个没有书的世界。分析题干可知本句考查句型It is difficult to do sth.“做某事是困难的”, It是形式主语,句子真正的主语是后面的动词不定式,故答案填to imagine。
【39题详解】
句意:每年都有更多的故事以电子书的形式出现在屏幕上被阅读并被购买。story是可数名词,more是many的比较级,所以此处用story的复数形式stories,故答案填stories。
【40题详解】
句意:将来会有人翻开传统书籍的书页吗?或者书籍,像卷轴一样,会很快消失吗?空格处是连接两个句子,而且前后两句话表示的是两种假设,所以此处应填表示选择的连词“或者”,英文表达是“or”,故答案填or。
点睛:本题为短文填空,首先要快速浏览全文,理解短文的大致意思,再精读短文注意所填的词在句中的词性、时态等等。然后根据句意、上下文联系、语境及所给出的单词提示填上合适的词语。如,第2小题,根据主句中的could可判断从句是时态用一般过去时,提示词see的过去式为saw,故答案填saw。第7小题,分析题干可知考查定语从句,先行词是物:the books,所以关系词用that或者which,故答案填that/which。

Hello, everyone. It’s my pleasure to stand here and share my experience.
One sunny afternoon, our class was doing a garden project in our labor practice class. With small shovels and gloves, we were like little explorers, ready to go on an adventure. Our task was to plant a flowerbed. At first, the soil felt rough in my hands, and I struggled to dig the right-sized holes. But as we worked together, laughter and teamwork turned the challenge into joy. When we placed the last plant into the ground, our hands were dirty, but our hearts were full. We stepped back and admired our colorful creation.
It was more than a flowerbed, but it was a patchwork of shared effort and memories.
