【解析】

本文讲述了人们吃东西的不同方式和其变化过程，由一开始的用手抓食物到用刀，用贝壳或动物的角做勺子。有人用手也有人用筷子。

【1】联系上文“Around the world, people eat with forks, spoons, chopsticks or just their hands.”全世界，人们用叉子，勺子，筷子或者手吃东西；再联系下文“Eating foods like rice and vegetables with your hands is skill that takes time to learn”用手吃像米饭和蔬菜这样的食物是需要时间学习的技能。可知，空格句子是在过渡到具体的吃法方式。选项B的意思是我们来了解这些方式。符合语境。故选B。

【2】联系上文“It’s important to eat only with the right hand, and that the food only touches the fingers.”只用右手吃饭是很重要的，食物只能用手指接触。再联系下文“Then they use their right hand like a spoon to put food in their mouth.”然后他们用右手像勺子一样把食物放进嘴里。可知，空格句子的意思和用手吃饭有关系。选项E和用手吃饭有关。故选E。

【3】联系下文“Long ago, people ate with only a knife.”很久以前，人们只用一把刀吃饭。可知，空格句子的意思是吃东西和刀有关系。选项D的意思是现在很多人用刀叉吃饭。符合语境。故选D。

【4】联系下文“Early people used shells or animal horn（角） to make spoons thousands of years ago.”几千年前，人们用贝壳或动物角做勺子。可知，空格句子的意思是吃东西和勺子有关。选项F的意思是勺子被全世界用来供应和吃食物。符合语境。故选F。

【5】联系上文“Other people use chopsticks to eat.”其他人用筷子吃东西；再联系下文“This is also a skill that needs practice!”这也是需要练习的技能。可知，空格句子的意思是筷子的使用。选项中G的意思是筷子有利于从碗里夹饭或面条。符合语境。故选G。

补全短文的做题方法是确定段落的中心意思，然后联系上下文，根据语境找出最佳选项。如第2题，段落中心意思是讲述用手吃饭，再联系上下文，可知空格句子的意思和吃饭的步骤过程有关，选项只有E有这样的意思，故选出最佳选项。所以联系上下文很重要。
