.题目解答
答案
解析
本题考查语法填空，主要涉及以下知识点：
- 并列连词的使用（如
and）； - 被动语态的构成（如
be made）； - 非谓语动词的用法（如
to create作目的状语，using作状语）； - 时间状语从句的连接词（如
as）； - 主谓一致与时态（如
were）； - 介词的搭配（如
with）。
解题核心是结合上下文语境，分析句子结构和语法功能，选择最恰当的词形或短语。
第1空
关键点：句子结构为并列列举国家，China, Japan, Korea, 1 Vietnam，此处需填入并列连词。
解析：在列举多个事物时，最后一个事物前常用and连接，因此填and。
第2空
关键点：括号内单词make需转换为被动语态。
解析：句意为“真正的优雅筷子可能由金银制成”，made of表示“由……制成”，且主语chopsticks是动作承受者，需用被动语态be made。
第3空
关键点：动词不定式作目的状语。
解析：to create表示“为了创造特殊设计”，与前文combine various hardwoods and metal构成目的关系，需用不定式。
第4空
关键点：非谓语动词作状语。
解析：句意为“人们用树枝从锅里取出食物”，use作状语修饰整个句子，与主语people为主动关系，需用现在分词using。
第5空
关键点：时间状语从句的连接词。
解析：句意为“随着人口增长”，as表示“随着”，符合语境。
第6空
关键点：副词修饰动词。
解析：gradually修饰动词turned，表示“逐渐地”，需用副词形式。
第7空
关键点：定语从句的关系词。
解析：Confucius是先行词，从句缺少主语，且指人，需用关系代词who。
第8空
关键点：名词作宾语。
解析：influence后接名词development，表示“对筷子发展的影响”。
第9空
关键点：主谓一致与时态。
解析：主语knives为复数，描述过去事实，需用were。
第10空
关键点：介词搭配。
解析：eat with hands是固定搭配，表示“用手吃饭”。
