广东省茂名市五校2020届高三上学期英语10月月考试卷

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

    Out of the 20 little things you've always wondered about, one of them (probable) has to do with the small (five) pocket on your jeans. By now, you might have given up on trying to use it since it's too small to fit anything you actually need. But why is it there in the first place? Well, today, it doesn't really serve purpose, but it used to in the late 1800s.

    Actually the small pocket is called a watch pocket because it was originally intended as a safe place for men to store their pocket (watch). It (date) back to Levis first ever pair of jeans, which hit the market in 1879.

    The Levi Strauss blog also pointed that originally, there were only four pockets on a pair of blue jeans, the watch pocket (include). "The first blue jeans had four pockets—only one in back and, in the front, two plus the small, watch pocket," the blog stated.

    So next time you find (you) standing casually with your thumb hooked in that small pocket, know that it originally (use) to store a pocket watch. And now that we've got to know the tiny jean pocket, find out blue is the most common color.

Egyptians, he said, are very nice to Chinese tourists, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} they love this little gift."

    Egyptians sometimes demand the balm by running a thumb across their foreheads. Li Xiaodong, an Egyptologist at China's Northeast Normal University, believes Chinese travelers initially brought cooling balm for {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (person) use because it's very hot in Egypt, then {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (discover) Egyptians liked it.

    Some Chinese tourists said giving gifts feels better than handing over money. "If you give essential balm, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} is more like you're giving it to friends," said one Chinese tourist.
