Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
The Silk Road is a historically important international trade route between China and the Mediterranean(地中海). It began during the Western Han Dynasty and has been a bridge between East and West for over 2 000 years.
The ancient road started from Chang'an (now Xi'an) and ended in Eastern Europe, near today's Turkey and the Mediterranean Sea. It was about 6 500 kilometers long and went across one-fourth of the planet.
The Silk Road got its name in the 19th century because Chinese silk used to be carried along this road. Silk, jade(玉石), ceramics(陶器) and iron went west to Rome. And from the west came glass, gems(寶石) and food like carrots.
The Silk Road was very important to both China and the rest of the world. It was more than an ancient international trade route. Besides trade, knowledge about arts, science and literature, as well crafts and technologies was shared across the Silk Road. In this way, languages and cultures developed and influenced each other.
Today, China is trying to build the "21st Century Marine(海洋的) Silk Road". With the help of APEC held in Beijing in November 2014, the dream of One Belt One Road (the "Silk Road Economic(經(jīng)濟的) Belt" and "gist Century Marine Silk Road")("一帶一路") is coming true.

【解析】這篇短文給我們介紹了絲綢之路，它有兩千多年的歷史，全長6,500公里，是一條連接?xùn)|西方貿(mào)易和文化的重要的國際線路。

（1）詞義猜測題。根據(jù)劃線單詞所在的句子The Silk Road is a historically important international trade route between China and the Mediterranean可知，Silk Road是絲綢之路，它是一條連接中國和地中海的路，因此route應(yīng)該是路線的意思。故選B。

（2）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段中It began during the Western Han Dynasty and has been a bridge between East and West for over 2 000 years可知，絲綢之路是在西漢時期開始的。故應(yīng)選C。

（3）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段中It was about 6 500 kilometers long and went across one-fourth of the planet可知，絲綢之路有6,500公里長，橫穿了地球的四分之一。由此可知應(yīng)選D。

（4）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段中The Silk Road got its name in the 19th century because Chinese silk used to be carried along this road可知，絲綢之路得名是因為中國的絲綢沿著這條路來運送的。故應(yīng)選A。

（5）推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文第四段的內(nèi)容可以知道，絲綢之路不僅是一個國際貿(mào)易路線，通過這條道路，關(guān)于藝術(shù)、科學(xué)、文學(xué)的知識以及手工藝品和技術(shù)也通過絲綢之路傳播到了世界各地。因此絲綢之路是一條促進(jìn)東西方交流的道路。因此C選項符合文意。
