In Chinese culture,red is an auspicious(吉利的)as well as a popular colour. It stands for luck,happiness,joy and many other good things. 1. C Why?
In ancient times,red was the symbol of power. Not everyone could write with red pens—only emperors. 2. F The red ink that emperors used was made of cinnabar(朱砂). So their replies were known as zhupi(朱批).
3. A In ancient China,the criminals(罪犯)who were sentenced(判刑)to death signed their names with red pens. The records of criminals' names were all written in red words. Names on the tombstones were red as well. 4. D Since red words carry bad meanings,people don't write letters with red pens. If you write to friends or family members with red pens,it means you want to break up with them.
5. E Teachers mark students' homework with red pens. So do editors(编辑)who need to correct mistakes in newspapers and magazines. But writing names or letters with red pens is still a bad idea to many people.

答案： 1.C ［解析］根据空后“Why”和下一段中“Not everyone could write with red pens—only emperors.”可知，此处是引出人们不常用红笔写字这一事实。C项（但是人们通常避免用红笔写名字和写信。）符合语境。故选C。 2.F ［解析］根据上文“In ancient times，red was the symbol of power. Not everyone could write with red pens—only emperors.”可知，古代只有皇帝才能用红笔写字，故此处与皇帝使用红笔所做的事情有关。F项（他们会用红笔回复官员的奏折。）符合语境。故选F。 3.A ［解析］根据下文“In ancient China，the criminals （罪犯）who were sentenced（判刑）to death signed their names with red pens.”可知，在中国古代，被判死刑的罪犯用红笔签名，故此处是介绍红色和死亡的关系。A项（用红笔写字也与死亡有关。）符合语境。故选A。 4.D ［解析］根据上文“Names on the tombstones were red as well.”和下文“Since red words carry bad meanings，people don't write letters with red pens.”可知，墓碑上的名字也是红色的，故此处讲述的是红色与不吉利有关。D项（因此，用红笔写名字被认为是不吉利的。）符合语境。故选D。 5.E ［解析］根据下文“Teachers mark students' homework with red pens. So do editors（编辑）who need to correct mistakes in newspapers and magazines.”可知，老师用红笔给学生的家庭作业打分，需要在报纸和杂志上纠正错误的编辑也是用红笔。E项（现在，红笔被用来校对。）符合语境。故选E。
