From their humble beginnings 22cooking utensils to paper-wrapped bamboo sets at the sushi counter, there's more tochopsticks than meets the eye.Chopsticks 23 (develop) about 5000 years ago in China. The 24 (early) versions were probably twigs used to get food from cooking pots. When resourcesbecame scare, around 400 B.

This new method of cooking made it unnecessary to have knives at-violent teachings of Confucius ( 孔the dinner table—a practice that also matched the non子),26 expressed in one of his numerousquotations:“ the honorable and upright man keeps well away from both the slaughterhouse(屠宰房) and the kitchen. And he allows no knives on his table.” As a vegetarian, he believed sharp points evoked( 诱发) violence 27 (kill) the happy, contented that knives’ mood that should reign during meals. Thanks in part to his teachings, chopstick usequickly became widespread throughout Asia.Different cultures adopted different chopstick styles.

At first glance, you'd think that rice wouldn't make the cut,but in Asia most rice is of the short- or medium-grain variety.

About 700 people have been brought to safety for fear of further landslides.The landslide cut across a road, leaving a deep gap that cars (22) not pass. Video footage showed dramatic scenes including one house falling into the gap. Photographs showed at least eight destroyed homes.Rescue workers continued to search the area for children and adults (23) (believe) to have been caught in mud and debris (废墟), police said. “We’re still looking for survivors,” police spokesman Roger Pettersen told a news conference.Pettersen said there were no reports of missing people, but officials could not rule out the possibility (24)there might be survivors in collapsed buildings.

Two of the obvious words the OED suggested were “pandemic ( 疫情)” and “lockdown,” due to most of human activities across the globe (23)(bring) to a stop by the life-threatening disease. Businesses have been closed and people have had to stay in their homes for weeks or even months on end.(24)I would like to nominate “cooperation” and “hope” as my words of the year because it is supposed to be described in a more positive and (25) (helpless) way, because there was a great deal of cooperation between countries and international health organizations. China took a leading role in this effort by sending masks and protective clothing to Canada, the United States and Europe, (26) to countries in the Middle East and Africa. Without this cooperation, the pandemic, bad (27) it has been, could have been much worse.And that brings me to my second word: hope.

Communities separated by thousands of miles (21) (bring) into contact and religious ideas have spread across the waters, while artistic creativity has been motivated by the experience of seeing the products of different civilizations. Customs have been decisively altered by the movement of ships across the oceans. No one drank tea in medieval Europe, but (22) contact had been made with the tea-drinking Chinese, tea became popular with millions of people from Sweden to the United States.We tend to hold the view (23) the opening of the oceans was the work of the great explorers, especially the 15th century pioneers who edged their way through uncharted waters to southern Africa, the Indian Ocean and the lands of the Indies. These were sailors (24) Christopher Columbus, who chanced upon unsuspected lands that blocked the expected sea route from Europe to China and Japan. But while these men (25) give the Age of Discovery its name, they didn’t start the exploration of the world’s oceans — and there were also scores of merchants who followed in (26) route, taking full advantage of new knowledge about the open ocean to develop trade links across the world, (27) laid the foundation for modern globalization. These were the people who really mastered the oceans and brought the continents into contact.Since then, the oceans have only continued (28) (tie) the world together —most dramatically when new routes were literally carved out, with the building of the Sues Canal in the 19th century and the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914.

No one imagines (21) waking up one day and being a professional singer or pianist. But for actors, they say, “Acting is hard only (22) one has to memorize lines. If I could remember, I could be an actor, too.”But acting isn’t just about memorizing lines and talking in conversational reality. As Meisner said, “Acting is doing things truthfully under imaginary circumstances.” If (23) (understand) correctly, this definition is an ambitious and remarkable thing to strive for.To do things truthfully, actors must acquire many challenging skills. (24) these skills, the script will remain flat on the page, despite being recited out loud. To make a script come to life in a believable way, the actor (25) make active choices.Imagine for a moment how many different ways there are (26) (deliver) one single line. Even something as simple as “close the door” can mean so many different things and (27) (express) in so many different ways. The words are the writer’s, but t he behavior (28) brings them to vivid life? That is the actor.The goal of great actors? That’s to act naturally. Good quality acting must always come down to a kind of naturalness that makes those acting skills (29) (visible) to the audience. In other words, a good actor must not appear to be acting at all.So do not be fooled into thinking that (30) can read and speak can be an actor. The naturalness displayed by great actors is exactly what makes you think that way, but it took them years of training to get to this point. It is so much more than you know.II.

It (21) (regard) as a testing ground for promoting new products, while offering shoppers a more personalized brand interaction. It is believed that the pop-up effect primarily benefits small retailers and young designers, both of (22) expect to connect with their customers for lack of a physical store. On the other hand, they try to avoid long-term contract.“As we are a young brand, it’s difficult for customers to find us. We’re (23) (likely) to have a permanent store since the barriers to entry are so high,” says the founder of fashion label PT’A. “With the pop-up, we sell in person and have that one-to-one contact with our customers. We see our sales soar dramatically (24) we do pop-ups.”It is not just small retailers and young designers that are benefiting. With the market (25) (shift) from physical retail to e-commerce, online-only brands such as Grana have used pop-up shops as a way to complement their brand. Customers are able to try out the products firsthand, and then shop online at their convenience. Additionally, established brands are also using pop-ups to excite shoppers. Shiseido, for example, once did a pop-up (26) (promote) one of their specific line of lipsticks. It is otherwise difficult to do in their current retail spaces (27)they have to accommodate their entire product line.While some industry insiders insist that it is a short-term trend (28) (drive) by a bad economy, others see benefits in the long run. Landlords are also changing their minds. In essence, pop-up shops are mutually beneficial to both the landlord and the retailer.“P ersonally, I don’t think pop-ups are a passing trend. From what we (29) (learn) from our customers so far, they are always looking for unique products and experiences, exactly (30) that pop-up shops can offer.

The first day of the week can make us joyless and depressed, which is (21) the feeling is described as the Monday blues. But what is it exactly (22) makes us feel down and does it affect everyone?Apparently, (23) (depressing) day of the year is the third Monday in January, when it’s cold and dark outside. This day (24) (nickname) ‘Blue Monday’ by psychologist Cliff Arnall in 2004. He came up with it aftera holiday company asked him for a ‘scientific formula’ for the January blues.(25)there was little science behind the formula, it’s probably true that the sound of our alarm clock on any Monday morning signals the dawning of a new week and possibly the end of our weekend of fun. Research shows our Monday mood can be based on a direct comparison (26) the day before. It’s what psychologists call an emotional shift, and no (27) part of the week has a transition like it.Monday means the end of weekend lie-ins –it is back to the routine and the realization that there are five days ahead of the nine-to-five, and according to the BBC Bitesize website “If you can’t stand your job then the Monday blues can be very real.” And your miserable Monday is followed by trying Tuesday – the most popular day for job applications (28) (send) out.But is Monday as bad as we think? (29) (feel) a bit low shouldn’t be confused with more serious depression, caused by other factors. Writing for the BBC, author and presenter Claudia Hammond, argues that this low feeling (30) be a myth. She later found the day that scored the lowest was in fact Wednesdays. So, when Monday comes, maybe we should give it a second chance!Section ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.

It was (23) the 16th century that coffee was introduced to Europe. The way that coffee is grown and made has been refined by the Arabs, and modern coffee is all beverages (饮料).How about buying a cup of coffee for someone you’ll never meet? It may sound like the latest trend in the coffee culture, but a suspended coffee is (24) (heartwarming) than a popular latte. The tradition born in a cafe in the southern Italian city of Naples is to buy a cup or two of coffee in advance for (25) who need it later in the day. A customer-in-need can then later ask if there is a suspended coffee available and have a hot drink (26) having to pay for it.It may be hard to imagine that this idea has become an internet fashion, with countless coffee shops in Europe and North America (27) (participate) in the movement.

But chances are you work long hours, or household responsibilities consume your days. By the time you finish all you have to do, you will have had no energy (21) anything you want to do beyond turning on the TV.Yet some busy people do make time for their priorities. The secret is giving the most attention to (22) at the very beginning of a day. They get up earlier than they have to. Morning by morning, they make progress on something (23) matters.It’s not fun to force yourself out of bed, but these early hours are often the best time to do things for yourself. With a little schedule reorganization, (24) (become) a morning person is more doable than you think.I first learned that mornings (25) be transformational years ago, when I was studying a busy lawyer’s schedule. She wanted to spend more time with her son, but she had little control over when she left work. This state of affairs kept her sad (26) she realized she and her son were both early risers and the morning time could be made full use of. After thinking it through, the lawyer decided to get up even earlier. Then, when the boy stepped into the dining room, she (27) (finish) preparing a rich breakfast so they two could enjoy the meal to the fullest together.Mornings are also great for focused thinking. Get up an hour earlier, and you can knock out your most important task of the day. Or you can spare some time for those creative desires (28) (bury) deep in your heart and hard to nurture.But many will arg ue: I’m not a morning person! The fact is that there are not so many true night owls. When most people take an honest look at (29) they’re spending the hours before bed, they’ll find they have wasted much time on the TV programs they don’t mean (30) (watch). Also, they often browse through photos on social media of people they didn’t like in high school anyway.A better approach is to sleep earlier, rise earlier and turn unproductive evening hours into productive morning hours.II.

I heard a presentation from a scientist Zhang Chuang, and I was quite excited. I think it is a wonderful way (25) (share) their knowledge with young people.

He said such activities can help increase young students’ interest in science."By exposing students to cutting-edge science, students can stand on the shoulders of giants and touch a wider world.

It’s just that a lot of advanced equipment today requires physics knowledge, and improving the physics level of all people is very important," said Shen.Talking about the future of the proposal, Yang said she is looking forward to seeing more dialogue between top scientists and students in China. She said they are optimistic, and (30) the difficulties ahead, the drive for humans to fully understand the unknown can never be stopped.。
