【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国筷子的历史以及有关筷子的风俗****惯。
1. with　考查介词。介词with“和……在一起，用”符合句意，故填with。
2. were developed 　考查一般过去时的被动语态。主语从句的主语是chopsticks，复数形式，和谓语动词develop之间是一种被动关系，再根据时间状语“over 5,000 years ago”可知，此处用一般过去时的被动语态，故填were developed。
3. earliest 　考查形容词最高级。定冠词the用在形容词最高级前面，再结合句意可知此处用形容词最高级，故填earliest。
4. which 　考查非限制性定语从句。此处Chopsticks是先行词，指物，放在后面的定语从句中作主语，且that不能引导非限制性定语从句，故填which。
5. materials　考查名词复数。固定词组：a variety of“各种各样的”。后面跟名词复数，故填materials。
6. an　考查搭配。固定词组：play a role in“在……中扮演角色”。此处important以元音音素开头，表示“一”时用不定冠词an。故填an。
7. maintaining　考查动名词作主语。此处because引导的表语从句中缺少主语，所给词maintain是动词，所以这里用动名词作主语，故填maintaining。
8. pronunciation
