【題目】任務型閱讀。

As we all know, the "rice bowl" culture of China has influenced some Asian countries such as Japan, Korea and Vietnam since we started to use chopsticks while eating food.

Chopsticks are usually two long thin pieces of wood or bamboo. They can also be made of plastic, animal bone or metal. (1) The most important thing is that chopsticks are a great invention in China.

Five thousand years ago people usually cooked their food in large pots, using twigs（小樹枝）to remove it. (2) the population grew, people began cutting food into small pieces. (3)Food in small pieces could be eaten easily with twigs by people .And twigs were gradually changed into chopsticks.

Some people think that the famous scholar Confucius living from about 551 BC to 479 BC pushed the development of chopsticks. Confucius believed that using chopsticks instead of knives would remind people to stay away from killing and violence at table.

We enjoy our delicious food with our family members or friends while feeling the peaceful and people-loving world by using chopsticks at table anytime.

本文主要談論中國的筷子。筷子是中國的一項偉大的發(fā)明�？曜涌梢杂媚绢^、竹子、塑料、動物骨或金屬制成�？鬃油苿恿丝曜拥陌l(fā)展。

【1】句意：最重要的是筷子是中國的一項偉大發(fā)明。考查英譯漢。本句是表語從句，主語The most important thing最重要的事情，表語是that chopsticks are a great invention in China：筷子是中國的一項偉大發(fā)明；故答案是最重要的是筷子是中國的一項偉大發(fā)明。

【2】句意：隨著人口的增長，人們開始把食物切成小塊。/當人口增長時，人們開始把食物切成小塊。/人口增長后，人們開始把食物切成小塊。考查細節(jié)理解。根據上文Five thousand years ago people usually cooked their food in large pots, using twigs（小樹枝）to remove it.（5000年前，人們通常用大鍋煮食物，用樹枝把它拿開。）可知“隨著人口的增長/當人口增長時/人口增長后，人們開始把食物切成小塊。”可知填As / When/ After。

【3】題意：什么材料可以用來做筷子？考查細節(jié)理解。根據第2段第1句Chopsticks are usually two long thin pieces of wood or bamboo. They can also be made of plastic, animal bone or metal.（筷子通常是兩根長而薄的木頭或竹子。它們也可以由塑料、動物骨或金屬制成。）可知筷子用木頭、竹子、塑料、動物骨或金屬制成；故答案是Wood, bamboo, plastic, animal bone and metal.。

【4】題意：請將3處被動語態(tài)的句子轉化為主動語態(tài)的句子。主動語態(tài)改為被動語態(tài)時，分三步，1. 被動語態(tài)的中加by+動作執(zhí)行者（by people），改為主動語態(tài)的主語。2. 被動語態(tài)的句子的謂語動詞“could be+動詞的過去分詞”（could be eaten），改為could +動詞原形（could eat）；3.被動語態(tài)的主語（Food），在主動語態(tài)中作賓語；其他成分照抄。故此句Food in small pieces could be eaten easily with twigs by people .改為主動語態(tài)是People could eat food in small pieces easily with twigs.／People could easily eat food in small pieces with twigs.。

【5】題意：這篇文章可能的標題是什么？考查主旨理解。本文主要談論中國的筷子。根據本文主要內容這篇文章可能的標題是Chopsticks Culture（筷子文化）/ Chopsticks（筷子）/Culture of Chinese Chopsticks at table（餐桌的中國筷子文化）/ A great invention------chopsticks.（一項偉大的發(fā)明----筷子）。
