Answer 1

【答案】

【1】 At both

【2】The routes

【3】Although /Though /Even though

【4】 India/China Egypt（三個寫出兩個即可）

【5】The Silk Road

【解析】

本文介紹了絲綢之路。

【1】（A）句意：在那個時候，中國對遙遠的西部土地知之甚少。短語at that time：在那時，在那個時候；注意：句子開頭第一個字母要大寫；結(jié)合句意可知答案是At。（B）句意：它被稱為“路”，但絲綢之路實際上是許多不同的路線，不僅在陸上而且在海上。短語both…and…：兩個都，不僅…而且…；結(jié)合句意可知答案是both。

【2】根據(jù)上文These routes spread from East, South and West Asia to North and East Africa as well as Europe.（這些路線從東亞、南亞和西亞延伸到北非、東非以及歐洲。）結(jié)合此句They allowed people to carry goods between countries, and helped spread knowledge and ideas across the world.（他們允許人們在國家之間運輸貨物，并幫助在全世界傳播知識和思想。）句意可知“They”指上文的路線，故答案是The routes。

【3】此句It was called a “road”, but the Silk Road was actually many different routes（它被稱為“路”，但絲綢之路實際上是許多不同的路線）是but連接的并列句，but但是，表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，此句可以改為Although （雖然，盡管）/Though（雖然，盡管）/Even though（即使，盡管）讓步狀語從句（盡管/雖然絲綢之路被稱為“路”，但實際上它是許多不同的路線。）；故答案是Although /Though /Even though。

【4】題意：從文中找出兩個表示國家的名詞。根據(jù)第2段最后1句The Silk Road played an important part in the development of countries such as China, India and Egypt.（絲綢之路在中國、印度、埃及等國家的發(fā)展中發(fā)揮了重要作用。）可知答案是India/China/ Egypt(寫兩個即可)。

【5】題意：從文中找出能說明本文中心大意的單詞或短語。本文主要介紹了絲綢之路，根據(jù)題意可知答案是The Silk Road。
