58、Chopsticks are shaped pairs of equal-length sticks that have been used in the kitchen and on the table in almost all of East Asia for over 6, 000 years.

59、ncient China, it was said 63 chopsticks signified far more than tools that take food to the mouth, and they also signified status and rules “can” and “cant”. During the Northern Song Dynasty, 64 official named Tang Su once had dinner with the emperor. He was not well informed in noble table manners

For example, they could not be placed 67 (vertical) into a dish, as this was a way of making
61、 sacrifices to the dead. Diners could not tap 68 push a dish with chopsticks, nor use a chopstick as a fork. When taking food, they could not let their chopsticks go from one dish to another or cross over 69 of others. When diners wanted 70 (put) down their chopsticks during a meal, they would place
62、 them lengthways on a chopstick holder or on the plate on their right-hand side. Many of these chopstick taboos are valid to this day.第四部分 写作（共两节；满分35分）第一节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每次错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号()，并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用()划掉。
