65、展历史和今天结的作用。1artists解析：考查名词。根据该句中的“make complex knots that you can take back with you as souvenirs”可知，“Skilled knot_”作主语，其中Skilled knot对空处进行修饰，此处缺名词，表示“人”，故可以确定应用名词artist；该词为可数名词，且其前无限定词修饰，故此处应用复数。2initially解析：考查副词。根据该句中的动词“made”可知，空处修饰该动词，故用副词形式。3before解析：考查连词。在开始用文字书写之前，人们起初可能用它们去记录和传递信息。before意为“在
66、之前”，符合语境。4to tie解析：考查动词不定式。be used to do sth.为固定搭配，意为“被用来做某事”。5reference解析：考查名词。根据空前的不定冠词“a”并结合语境可知，此处表示“一本关于结的参考书”，故用refer的名词形式。6were used解析：考查被动语态和时态。根据该句中的时间状语“in the Tang Dynasty”可知，此处陈述的事情发生在唐朝，故用一般过去时；根据语境可知，结在唐朝被用作艺术装饰并被用来表达思想情感；主语they和动词use之间是被动关系，故填were used。7covering解析：考查现在分词。分析该句结构可知，a large one和动词cover是逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词作后置定语。8traditional解析：考查形容词。根据空后的“art form”可知，空处修饰该名词短语，表示“传统的艺术形式”，故用形容词形式。9as解析：考查介词。根据语境可知，该处表示作为他们文化的一部分，这种传统的艺术形式被代代相传。as表示“作为”，符合语境。10or解析：考查连词。由空前的“given as gifts”和空后的“passed down through families”可知，空处为选择关系，故填or。
