The findings, coupled with a widening range of scientific and historical research, could add a fascinating new page to the epic of the Silk Road.The latest and most surprising discovery is pieces of silk found in the hair of an Egyptian mummy from about 1,000 BC ，long before regular traffic on the Silk Road and at least one thousand years before silk was previously thought to be used in Egypt. Other research may extend human activity along this route back even further, perhaps a million years to the migration of human ancestors into eastern Asia.The official origin of EastWest commerce along the road is usually placed in the late 2nd century BC when an agent of the Chinese Emperor Wudi returned from a dangerous secret mission (使命)across the western desert into the remote high country of Central Asia. The agent, Zhang Qian, travelled as far as Afghanistan and brought back knowledge of even more distant lands such as Persia，Syria and a place known as Lijien, perhaps Rome. Historians have called this one of the most important journeys in ancient times. His journey opened the way for what have been thought to be the first indirect contacts between the ancient worlds two superpowers, China and Rome. Chinese silk, first traded to central Asian tribes for war horses and to the Parthians of old Persia in exchange for acrobats and ostrich eggs ，was soon finding its way through a network of merchants to the luxury markets of Rome.But the new discoveries show that Chinese silk was apparently present in the West long before the Han emperor started organized trade over the Silk Road. The research could change thinking about the early history of world trade and provide insights into the mystery of just how and when Europe and the Mediterranean lands first became aware of the glorious culture at the other end of Eurasia.语篇解读最新的考古学研究说明，古代欧亚大陆之间的主要贸易通道丝绸之路，其起源可能比我们之前认为的要早许多世纪。5The word“coupled in the first paragraph could best be replaced by_.A. produced B. continuedC. doubled D. combined解析猜想词义题。由第一段第二句的句意“这些发现，综合广泛的、科学的、历史的研究可以增添丝绸之路历史新纪元迷人的一页可以推知答案为D。答案D6The silk thread found in the hair of an Egyptian mummy suggests that_.A. Egyptians had probably travelled to China to buy silkB. trade along the Silk Road began earlier than once thoughtC. historical research often achieves fascinating resultsD. new light can now be thrown on ancient trading practices解析推理判断题。由末段首句可以推断出在汉武帝之前就有了丝绸之路的贸易，故B项正确。A项不合常识和事实；C项句意本身没有错误但太宽泛；D项这一事实可以说明古代贸易实践，不合文意，故排除。答案B7Until recently most historians believed that trade along the Silk Road_.A. originated in the 2nd century BCB. extended human migration into eastern AsiaC. began a million years agoD. primarily benefited the Egyptians解析事实细节题。由第三段首句可知答案为A。答案A8Historians have always considered Zhang Qians mission important because they believe_.A. he brought back knowledge of Rome to the emperorB. he discovered the Silk RoadC. he helped establish EastWest tradeD. he travelled as far as Afghanistan解析推理判断题。由第三段内容可知C正确。答案C长难句解读The research could change thinking about the early history of world trade and provide insights into the mystery of just how and when Europe and the Mediterranean lands first became aware of the glorious culture at the other end of Eurasia.这项研究可能改变人们关于世界贸易早期历史的看法，进一步洞察了对欧洲和地中海地区何时及怎样知道在欧亚大陆的另一端存在着辉煌的文化的奥秘。*结束 What is the best way to study ?
