【解析】

本文講述了人們吃東西的不同方式和其變化過程，由一開始的用手抓食物到用刀，用貝殼或動物的角做勺子。有人用手也有人用筷子。

【1】聯(lián)系上文“Around the world, people eat with forks, spoons, chopsticks or just their hands.”全世界，人們用叉子，勺子，筷子或者手吃東西；再聯(lián)系下文“Eating foods like rice and vegetables with your hands is skill that takes time to learn”用手吃像米飯和蔬菜這樣的食物是需要時間學習的技能。可知，空格句子是在過渡到具體的吃法方式。選項B的意思是我們來了解這些方式。符合語境。故選B。

【2】聯(lián)系上文“It’s important to eat only with the right hand, and that the food only touches the fingers.”只用右手吃飯是很重要的，食物只能用手指接觸。再聯(lián)系下文“Then they use their right hand like a spoon to put food in their mouth.”然后他們用右手像勺子一樣把食物放進嘴里�？芍�，空格句子的意思和用手吃飯有關(guān)系。選項E和用手吃飯有關(guān)。故選E。

【3】聯(lián)系下文“Long ago, people ate with only a knife.”很久以前，人們只用一把刀吃飯。可知，空格句子的意思是吃東西和刀有關(guān)系。選項D的意思是現(xiàn)在很多人用刀叉吃飯。符合語境。故選D。

【4】聯(lián)系下文“Early people used shells or animal horn（角） to make spoons thousands of years ago.”幾千年前，人們用貝殼或動物角做勺子�？芍�，空格句子的意思是吃東西和勺子有關(guān)。選項F的意思是勺子被全世界用來供應和吃食物。符合語境。故選F。

【5】聯(lián)系上文“Other people use chopsticks to eat.”其他人用筷子吃東西；再聯(lián)系下文“This is also a skill that needs practice!”這也是需要練習的技能�？芍�，空格句子的意思是筷子的使用。選項中G的意思是筷子有利于從碗里夾飯或面條。符合語境。故選G。

補全短文的做題方法是確定段落的中心意思，然后聯(lián)系上下文，根據(jù)語境找出最佳選項。如第2題，段落中心意思是講述用手吃飯，再聯(lián)系上下文，可知空格句子的意思和吃飯的步驟過程有關(guān)，選項只有E有這樣的意思，故選出最佳選項。所以聯(lián)系上下文很重要。
