It is important to note that chopsticks are used in many different cultures and there is no single standard for the use of chopsticks.Here are some customs 2.________(associate) with chopsticks in China.2．答案与解析：associated考查非谓语动词。
分析句子结构可知，此处用过去分词短语“associated with chopsticks”作定语，修饰“customs”。
Playing with chopsticks 3.________ (consider) bad manners. And chopsticks should not be placed 4.________(vertical) in a bowl of rice or other food.3．答案与解析：is considered考查时态、语态和主谓一致。
该处为客观性描述，应用一般现在时；该句为动名词短语“Playing withchopsticks”作主语，谓语动词用单数形式；且此处表示玩筷子被看作是不礼貌的行为，故应用被动语态。
4．答案与解析：vertically考查副词。
此处修饰谓语动词要用副词，故填vertically。
Any stick like object pointing upward 5.________ (resemble) the incense (香) sticks that people use 6.________ offerings to their dead family members.5．答案与解析：resembles考查时态和主谓一致。
该处为客观性描述，应用一般现在时；本句为含有“that”引导的定语从句的主从复合句，其中主句的主语是“Any stick like object pointing upward”，是单数，故谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。
6．答案与解析：as考查介词。

此处引导主语从句，且在从句中作主语，表示“……的事物”，故用What来引导从句。
从长度来说In terms of length筷子的标准长度是七寸六分seven cun and six fen寸和分是中国的度量衡单位，代表人有七情六欲，以示与动物的不同。
Cun and fen are Chinese units of measurement. People have seven emotions and six desires to distinguish themselves from animals.从阴阳来说In terms of Yin and Yang筷子为何是一双？因为中国人遵循阴阳的理念。
合二为一，是阴与阳的结合，也意味着一个完美的结果。
To merge them together is to combine Yin and Yang，meaning a perfect result。
从世界观来说In terms of the world's view筷子一头圆，一头方，象征的是天圆地方。
Chopsticks are round at one end and squared at the other，symbolizingthe round sky and square earth.成对出现也寓意成双成对，可以说“一双筷子”，饱含着中国人对生活的美好愿望(full of Chinese people's wishes)“公筷”指的是“一起吃饭的人把餐食从盘子里夹到自己碗里使用的筷子，有别于自己的筷子”，如果翻译为“public chopsticks”就会被认为是“任何人都可以用来吃饭的筷子”。
英文中有一个词“serving”，作名词用表示“一份食物”，相当于“helping”（一份、一客），其作形容词用则可以表示：for use in distributing food or drink用以分配食物或饮品的所以公筷就是“serving chopsticks”，类似地，“公勺”就是“serving spoon”，餐饮的“托盘”是“serving tray”。
此外，公筷也可以称为“communal chopsticks”，两者有何区别呢？Communal指“大家共用或者分享的”，如果大家一起吃饭，都使用一双公筷，这样的公筷就可以称作communal chopsticks。
