35、分词表示伴随状况。故填using。5考查时间状语从句的连接词。句意：随着人口的增长，人们开始把食物切成小块儿，这样可以煮得快一点，这里是时间状语从句，when意为“当时候”，也适合语境。故填as/when。6考查副词。这里修饰动词短语turned into应该用副词。故填gradually。7考查定语从句。句中有逗号，说明是非限制性定语从句，先行词是Confucius孔子，定语从句缺少主语，且指人。故填who。8考查名词。the名词of.意为“的”，这里指“筷子的发展”。故填development。9考查时态和主谓一致。根据句意可知，这里指的是刀子因太暴力而不适合在餐桌上使用，believed后跟一个宾语从句，and连接了两个并列的谓语，主语knives是复数，根据时态和主谓一致的原则，这里应用were。10考查介词。句意：在印度，大部分人还是用传统的吃饭方法用手拿。with表示具体工具的名词，表示“用”。故填with。
