Chopsticks are kitchen and eating tools.They have been used all over East Asia for over 2,000 years. They were first invented and used by the Chinese during the Zhou Dynasty.Chopsticks later spread to other countries across East,South and Southeast Asia.They are usually made of bamboo or wood.But at first, chopsticks were not used as eating tools.They were probably used for cooking such as stirring (the fire.Then people found it was convenient to eat by using chopsticks.Then chopsticks began to be used as eating tools during the Han Dynasty. Why not use forks and knives?In our mind,forks and knives are made of metal.They are more similar to weapons.How could dangerous weapons be used on the eating tables?And can you imagine how terrible it is to use forks and knives while we are taking food out of the hot pot?Then chopsticks perfectly solve this problem. What's more,we believe in the idea of being simple.With the two sticks,we can do many things.Also, chopsticks contain the principle (of Yin and Yang.Besides,if you take a close look at the chopsticks you will find the chopsticks are round on one side and square on the other side.So the round side means the sky and the square side means the earth.And when we hold chopsticks,our fingers are between the two sticks.That's our understanding of the relationship between man and the world. The tiny chopsticks are a shining symbol of the long and rich Chinese history and culture. 21.Why does the writer ask questions at the beginning of the passage? A.To predict the future of chopsticks. B.To introduce the topic of the passage. C.To show the importance of chopsticks.D.To describe the influence of chopsticks. 22.What questions are answered in Paragraph 2? DWhat are chopsticks made of? 2When were chopsticks invented? 3Why are we still using chopsticks? 4What were chopsticks first used for? A.①②③ B.①②④ C.①③④ D.②③④ 23.Which of the following may be a kind of weapons"? A.Cars B.Books. C.Guns. D.Chopsticks. 24.Which is the right structure of the passage? 2 ③④⑤ ②③ ④⑤ ②③ 5 25.What does the writer mainly want to show in the last paragraph? A.Chopsticks are the perfect eating tools. B.Chopsticks contain much Chinese culture. C.People use chopsticks to connect man and the world. D.The two sides of the chopsticks mean the earth and the sky. C Since the Industrial Revolution(工业革命)，people have worried that new machines would take their jobs.It's reported that AI could soon do a quarter of all human work,and,across Europe and the United States,about 300 million jobs might disappear. Experts point out that jobs requiring human qualities,like understanding feelings and creative thinking,are likely to stay. Martin Ford,a writer who studies the future of work,says three types of jobs may remain safe in the near future.First are truly creative jobs.You're not just copying or doing things the same old way,but you're coming up with new ideas and building something new.Note that "creative"here does not mean simple art,a robot can already study millions of pictures and copy their style.It means deeper creativity, like designing a brand-new medicine,writing a new law,or planning a business model no one has tried. Second are jobs where you work closely with people,like nurses,teachers,and reporters.These are jobs where you need a very deep understanding of people.This remains a challenge for AI.A nurse calms a scared child and a reporter can win trust from a stranger.Work like these needs heart,not only rules.It'll be a long time before AI understands how to build relationships. Third are jobs that need quick hands and sharp eyes in messy,changing places.Think of jobs like fixing lights,repairing cars and machines.These are the kinds of jobs where you're often dealing with a new situation all the time. In short,getting jobs in active and changing environments that include unpredictable tasks is a good way to avoid job loss to AI.At least,for a while. 26.What worries people since the industrial revolution? A.They have more jobs to do. B.New machines influence jobs C.Machines are useless. D.AI spreads slowly in Europe. 27.hich of the following can be put in★_？ A.Many jobs will be taken over by AI B.It's been a while to prepare C.We have to use AI properly D.Not all jobs are at risk 28.According to Martin Ford, A.AI understands human connections B.humans copy new ideas from AI C.deep creativity matters a lot D.Simple art forms are the best 29.Which picture shows the job that may be easily taken by Al? 30.What's the passage mainly about? A.AI's progress in changing situations. B.Humans'advantages in work. C.Examples of jobs lost to AI. D.The history of creative jobs. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从文后所列选项中，选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使短文通顺、连贯。（选项中 有一项多余) People make long journeys to different countries.31 However,the biggest journey is the self-discovery journey.How can you start thejourney of self-discovery?Here are four tips for you.
