This simple saying tells us that chopsticks are not only eating tools but also important parts of Chinese culture. Chinese chopsticks have a long history and rich meanings, and they are loved by many people around Asia. Chopsticks were invented in China more than 3,000 years ago. In ancient times, Chinese people found it hard to pick up hot food with hands, so they used small wooden sticks to get food from hot pots. Later, these small sticks slowly became the chopsticks we use today. As time went by, chopsticks turned into a necessary eating tool for every Chinese family, and their design became more and more suitable for people’s daily use. One end is round and the other end is square. This special shape carries deep Chinese culture. The round top stands for the sky, and the square bottom stands for the earth, because ancient Chinese people believed that the sky is round and the earth is square. Besides, using chopsticks needs five fingers to work together, which shows the importance of unity. There are also many table manners about chopsticks, such as not sticking them upright in rice, which shows our respect for food and family. Chopsticks gradually spread to many other Asian countries thousands of years ago, including Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and so on. People in these countries love using chopsticks too, and they make some small changes to chopsticks according to their own eating habits, but the basic use and culture of chopsticks still come from China. Nowadays, people pay more attention to forest protection when producing chopsticks. In the past, too many trees were cut down to make wooden chopsticks, which did harm to forests. Today, we use more reusable bamboo chopsticks, because bamboo grows very fast and won’t damage forests. Many people also carry their own chopsticks to stop using disposable(一次性的) ones, so we can protect our forests well. ( ) 1. How does the writer start the passage? A. By listing numbers B. By telling a story C. By making a comparison D. By quoting a saying ( ) 2. Which of the following can be put in ? A. Chinese chopsticks have a special shape. B. Chinese people use chopsticks every day. C. Chopsticks are made of different materials. D. There are many kinds of chopsticks. ( ) 3. From the passage, we can infer that _. A. chopsticks were first invented in Japan B. disposable chopsticks are good for forests C. the shape of chopsticks has cultural meanings D. only eating with chopsticks means good table manners. ( ) 4. Which can best show the structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1……) A.B. C. D. ( ) 5. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Ways to Use Chopsticks B. Forest Protection in Our Life C.

Thanks a lot(非常感谢)用于回应别人的感谢或赞美。B. Congratulations(祝贺你)用于祝贺别人取得成功或好消息,符合语境。C. Sorry to hear that(听到这个消息我很难过)用于回应坏消息。D. With pleasure(乐意效劳)用于回应别人的请求。 2. 句意为“她非常善良友好,给我留下了很好的_”。固定搭配 make a good impression on sb. 表示“给某人留下好印象”。A. impression(印象)符合固定搭配和语境。B. expression(表达/表情)、C. decision(决定)、D. attention(注意力)均不符合此固定搭配。 3. 句意为“复兴,你上个月_你笔友的信了吗?”,这里表示客观上“收到”信件。A. accept(接受)强调主观上的接受,不符合语境。B. cover(覆盖/报道)、C. invite(邀请)语义不符。D. receive(收到)强调客观上收到某物,符合语境。 4. 句意为“不幸的是,我遇上了严重的交通堵塞,所以_都没看到”。 Unfortunately 表示转折,说明结果是没看到烟花。A. anything(任何事物)、B. everything(所有事物)、D. something(某些事物)都表示看到了,与语境不符。C. nothing(什么都没有)符合语境。 5. 句意为“年轻的志愿者们_教他们,直到每个人都学会”。A. strictly(严格地)、B. normally(正常地)、C. formally(正式地)都不符合教老人使用服务的场景。D. patiently(耐心地)最符合志愿者教老人的语境。 6. 句意为“在他的国家这很常见,这只是_”。外国朋友反复拒绝喝茶,是因为两国的文化习惯不同。A. public warnings(公共警告)、C. body languages(肢体语言)、D. natural disasters(自然灾害)语义不符。B. culture differences(文化差异)符合语境。 7. 句意为“但你应该尽快_落下的作业”。A. make up(弥补/补上): make up the work 表示“补上作业”,符合语境。B. show up(出现)、C. wake up(醒来)、D. take up(开始从事/占据)语义不符。 答案:C 8.题目中的“A promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold”是成语“一诺千金”的英文表达,它的核心意思是要信守承诺、说话算数,C.“我们应该信守承诺”, keep our word 就是“遵守诺言”的意思,和“一诺千金”的寓意匹配。A. “我们说话要小心”,和“守信”的主题无关。B.“如何许下承诺”,故事重点不是教“怎么许诺”,而是“要兑现承诺”。D.“我们在哪里能找到金子”,是对成语字面意思的误解,而且它的语序也不符合宾语从句的语法规则(应该用陈述语序)。所以,正确答案是C。 五、阅读理解。 1. D 2. A 3. C 4. B 5. C 解析: 1. 作者开篇直接引用了一句关于筷子的中国谚语 "Many hands make light work, and a pair of chopsticks brings warm meals.",所以是通过引用谚语开篇,选D。 2. 空格后的内容在详细描述筷子“一头圆、一头方”的特殊形状及其文化寓意,因此空格处需要一个引出“筷子形状”的句子。选项A“中国筷子有特殊的形状”能自然衔接下文,选A。 3. A 错误:文中明确说明筷子发明于中国,不是日本。B 错误:一次性筷子会破坏森林,对森林有害。C 正确:文中提到筷子圆头代表天、方头代表地,说明其形状蕴含文化寓意。D 错误:餐桌礼仪还包括不能把筷子插在米饭里,并非只要用筷子就代表礼仪好。 4.文章结构为总-分结构:第①段总述筷子的文化地位,②-⑤段分别从历史、形状文化、传播、现代环保四个方面展开介绍,对应选项B。 5. 全文围绕中国筷子的历史、文化、传播与现代发展展开,“关于中国筷子的事实”最能概括全文内容。A(使用方法)、B(森林保护)、D(亚洲餐具)都过于片面,选C。 【拓展提升】 六、综合填空。 1. beautifully 2. cultural 3. broke 4. to 5. to show 6. the 7. cheers 8. poems 9. Besides 10. traditional 解析: 1. 修饰动词短语 hang down (垂下),需要用副词形式,所以形容词 beautiful 变为副词 beautifully 。 2. 修饰名词 meanings (含义),需要用形容词形式,名词 culture 变为形容词 cultural (文化的)。 3. 句子描述古代的习俗,用一般过去时,动词 break 变为过去式 broke 。 4. 固定搭配 be similar to ,表示“与……相似”,所以填介词 to 。 5. 此处用动词不定式作目的状语,表示“人们这样做是为了表达……”,所以填 to show 。 6. 序数词 first 前必须加定冠词 the ,表示“第一”。 7. 主语 Their lively look 是单数,句子为一般现在时,动词 cheer 变为第三人称单数形式 cheers 。 8. many 后接可数名词复数,所以 poem 变为复数 poems 。 9. 前文讲了柳树的文化寓意,此处递进说明柳树还有实用用途,用 Besides (此外),句首首字母大写。 10. 修饰名词 Chinese gardens (中国园林),需要用形容词形式,名词 tradition 变为形容词 traditional (传统的)。 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $
