第二部分  阅读 (共一节，满分12分)

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。

Chopsticks have been used in Asia for over 3,000 years. The earliest chopsticks were discovered in Henan about 1200 BCE. Over the next 2,000 years, they spread throughout East and Southeast Asia.

The three most well-known types are Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Chinese chopsticks are longer with wide, rounded points at the end, mostly made of wood or bamboo. While Japanese chopsticks are shorter and more pointed. Korean ones are flat rather than round and made of metal rather than wood. It’s said that ancient royalty (皇室) used silver chopsticks to see if their food was poisoned (有毒的). In Southeast Asia, Vietnamese chopsticks are similar to Chinese ones.

Chopsticks are not just eating tools. A proper chopstick grip (握法) can greatly improve dining experience. First, place the top part of two sticks between your thumb and index finger. Hold the upper chopstick gently with your first three fingers while resting the lower one at your ring finger. Meanwhile, put your thumb at the side of your index-finger nail. The upper stick is moved up and down with the movements of the index finger and middle finger. This way, pieces of food can be easily grasped between the tips of the chopsticks.

   ▲    The first rule is to grab and not stab (刺入) food with the tip of your chopsticks. Second, don’t set chopsticks vertically (垂直地) into the rice in your bowl. In some cultures, such positioning of chopsticks is considered a symbol related to death. Third, watch where you•point your chopsticks. It’s rude to point directly at

others with your chopsticks.

Following the guidelines above, you not only show respect for the cultural tradition about chopsticks, but also enrich your overall dining experience.

16. We can learn about the ______ chopsticks in Paragraph 2.

①	②	③	④	⑤
features	discovery	materials	types	sales

A. ①②③ B. ③④⑤ C. ①③④

17. Which of the following pictures describes the proper chopstick grip?

A.  B.  C.

18. Which sentence can be put in “   ▲   ” in Paragraph 4?

A. It’s not easy for you to get the use of chopsticks.

B. Understanding chopstick manners is also necessary.

C. Remember to choose suitable chopsticks for meals.

19. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A. Chopsticks have a history of over 3,000 years.

B. Sticking chopsticks into rice is not polite.

C. Japanese chopsticks are longer than Chinese ones.

Lily loves free-time activities. Last year, she wanted to    20    a new hobby. Her friend suggested calligraphy, but Lily was    21    of difficult things. And she thought writing single strokes for hours would be boring. However, her friend encouraged her not to give up    22   .

Lily decided to give it a go. At first, she could not hold the brush properly. The ink often left messy marks on the paper. But she practised every weekend. Gradually, she found it fun to write    23    with beautiful strokes. Slowly, she found calligraphy could help her stay away from    24    moments during busy school days. It also taught her to be more responsible (有责任的).

Last month, Lily’s school held a hobby show. She showed her calligraphy works there. Her teacher praised her
