【解析】

這篇短文介紹了筷子的歷史、制作筷子的材料以及與筷子相關(guān)的餐桌禮儀。

【1】句意：五十世紀(jì)以前。這里的問題是“在中國，筷子什么時候第一被使用？”原文“It's said that the first chopsticks were used in China 5，000 years ago”（據(jù)說第一把筷子是在5000年前的中國被使用的），5000年前相當(dāng)于50個世紀(jì)以前，名詞“世紀(jì)”是century，故填其復(fù)數(shù)形式centuries。

【2】句意：在許多亞洲國家，例如中國，日本和韓國。這里的問題是“筷子是在哪里被廣泛使用的？”原文“Since then, chopsticks have been widely used in many countries in Asia, such as China, Japan and Korea.”（自那時起，筷子在亞洲的許多國家被廣泛使用，例如中國，日本和韓國）說明是在“亞洲國家”被廣泛使用的，故填“亞洲的” Asian。

【3】句意：竹子，木頭，骨頭或是銀。這里的問題是“筷子是由什么材料制成的？”原文“The materials like bamboo and wood are common because they are easy to get.”（類似竹子和木頭的材料很普遍因為他們很容易獲取。）說明“竹子”也是制成筷子的材料之一，故填Bamboo。

【4】句意：因為這些材料可以被輕松找到。這里的問題是“為什么竹子和木頭筷子很普遍？” 原文“The materials like bamboo and wood are common because they are easy to get.”（類似竹子和木頭的材料很普遍因為他們很容易獲取。）說明他們能“很容易地”被發(fā)現(xiàn)，故填副詞“容易地”easily。

【5】句意：永遠(yuǎn)不要把你的筷子徑直地插入你的米飯飯碗里。這里是想列出一項“與筷子有關(guān)的餐桌禮儀”，原文“never stick(插入) your chopsticks straight in your rice bow”（永遠(yuǎn)不要把你的筷子徑直地插入你的米飯飯碗里），故填“飯碗” bowl。
