New archaeological discoveries suggest that trade between Europe and Asia along the Silk Road probably began in some form many centuries earlier than once thought. 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 East?West commerce along the road is usually placed in the late 2nd century BC when an agent of the Chinese Emperor Wu?di 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 world's 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] 最新的考古学研究表明，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。

A. originated in the 2nd century BC
B. extended human migration into eastern Asia
C. began a million years ago
D. primarily benefited the Egyptians

Ibrahim became disabled after contracting polio （小儿麻痹症） when he was three years old. At first his parents, like many other parents of disabled children in Niger, did not want to send him to school. They were worried he would be laughed at by his classmates.
Despite his disability, and his parents' doubts, Ibrahim was determined to go to school. “When I was eight,” Ibrahim says, “other kids of my age were going to school while I stayed at home. I did not like that. So, I pestered（缠着） my parents until they finally let me go to school.”
Ibrahim's parents sent him to a private school nearby. Although the journey to and from school was a short one, it still wasn't easy for Ibrahim. He had to use his hands to help him move along, protecting them with plastic slippers. But at least he was getting an education.
However, after only a year in school, Ibrahim's education was interrupted when his parents separated. His mother did not have the means to continue paying for his tuition （学费）.
In 2007, Ibrahim received some money to be fitted with a leg brace (支架), corrective shoes and his first pair of crutches (拐杖). Now that he was more mobile than before, the most important thing for him was to find a way to go back to school.
“I wanted to start school again last October,” Ibrahim says. “After my mother told me she could not afford it, I went to visit some of my relatives for support. And I collected 5,000 francs CFA (US $8) to pay my tuition for half a year. I will find the rest of the money somehow.”
Ibrahim attends a school in which he is the only disabled student. According to his teacher, he is among the top five students in a class of 55.
56. Why did Ibrahim's parents prefer Ibrahim to stay at home?
A. There was a lot of housework for him to do.
B. They had no money to pay for his tuition.
C. There were not enough schools in the country.
D. They were afraid the students would make fun of him.
57. How did Ibrahim go to school before his parents separated?
A. He went to school on his wheelchair.
B. He went to school on his parents' bicycle.
C. He walked to school with the support of his hands.
D. He walked to school using a pair of crutches.
58. Ibrahim's education was interrupted because of his _____.
A. parents' doubts B. lack of tuition

59. The best title for the passage might be _____.
A. A long way to go

A huge shire horse (夏尔马) in Australia has been declared the biggest horse in the world by its owner, beating the current Guinness World Record by several inches.
The giant five-year-old, from Pakenham, S.E. Australia, measures an amazing 20.1 hands, or 2.057m tall. He weighs over 1.3 tons (1,300kg) — about the same as a small car — and is still growing.
His owner, horse trainer Jane Greenman, 47, says the only time the horse runs is when there is food on offer. “He eats an incredible amount. I would hate to run a team of eight horses his size — it would send you broke (破产的),” she says.
The massive horse, whose name is Noddy, was born in Australia with parents imported from England. Noddy's grandfather, Ladbrooke Edward (UK) was the world's tallest horse during the 1980's. But Jane had no idea that the horse she raised from the age of six months would grow this big. Noddy immediately began to rocket and soon overtook (超过) both his parents in size.
Although she says that she is not interested in the Guinness Book of World Records, Jane has carried out her own research and is sure that Noddy comes top. “The nearest is a horse in Texas, at 20 hands,” says Jane. “Noddy is already an inch taller than that. The scary thing is he still hasn't finished — shire horses aren't fully grown until they're about six or seven.”
Jane has said that Noddy could be sold overseas, possibly even fetching a record price to match his height. She is unwilling to sell, but to cover the high cost of keeping him, she needs to put him to work. “He needs a job. It's very hard to find jobs for such a big horse in Australia. I wish he could stay here but I've tried everywhere,” she says regretfully. “I just want people to enjoy this beautiful animal as much as I do.”
60. The underlined word “rocket” in Paragraph 4 probably means _____.
A. walk around B. eat a lot
C. grow fast D. look strong
61. Which of the following is a big problem for the horse's owner?
A. She doesn't know how to apply for the Guinness World Record.
B. She has to support eight big horses at the same time.
C. Another horse in Texas is growing even faster than hers.
D. There is not enough money to cover the cost of raising her horse.
62. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
A. Noddy must be as powerful as a small car
B. Noddy's growth can be genetically explained
C. many people are willing to buy Noddy
D. no job will be available for Noddy at all
63. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. New world record for the biggest horse
B. Jane Greenman becomes famous for her horse
C. Large size means no job for a big horse
D. Shire horses tend to grow bigger than others

Recently, online high schools in America have sparked （激发） a debate about whether or not taxpayers' money should be used to support online education. Online schools receive the same amount of funding as all other public schools, even though they don't have to pay for rent or school equipment. States should use their educational funds to improve education at real schools, not to support online programs.
Some students only use online classes to supplement their school work. They benefit from the social experience of a traditional high school, while still taking online courses.
However, about 90 thousand students in America receive their education only from online schools. 50 thousand of these students take courses at Florida Virtual School, the largest online school in the country. While this method of schooling helps students who live in remote regions, most school systems are upset that they are losing more students each year to these online programs.
Although online learning allows children to work at their own pace, these online schools have only one teacher per several hundred students. Often, teachers can't give struggling students the help they need as they are unable to talk face-to-face with them, to find exactly what they're having difficulty with.
Additionally, even though online schooling accommodates（顾及） students who live in more remote states, students in online programs may suffer in social situations because they will not learn valuable communication skills from their schooling. Similar to students who are home schooled, those who take only online classes won't learn social etiquette（礼节）, and will be treated differently by their peers （同龄人）.
Online schooling might be useful for places where there are not enough students for a real school, such as agricultural regions, but states should only spend taxpayers' money on online schools in extreme cases.
68. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Whether students should study at online schools.
B. Whether online schools should be allowed to exist.
C. Whether taxpayers should pay for online schools.
D. Whether traditional schools should be replaced.
69. According to the passage, online schooling _____.
A. is helpful to students living in remote regions
B. allows students to work together
C. makes it possible for students to get immediate help
D. develops students' critical thinking
70. According to Paragraph 5, the author worries that students at online schools _____.
A. might lose interest in learning
B. would play online games
C. could not receive teachers' help
D. could not become fully developed
71. What is the author's attitude?
A. Taxpayers should not pay for online schools at all.
B. Taxpayers should pay more for online schools than real schools.
C. Taxpayers' money should be spent on online schools conditionally.
D. Taxpayers should support online schools in different ways.

Most schools forbid chewing gum, but in a few years they might consider changing that rule. Why? Scientists are finding evidence that gum chewing may be good for your health. It may even help improve your test scores.
This exciting research is just beginning. And in the meantime, companies are also experimenting with adding vitamins, minerals, medicines, and other substances that could give gum the power to cure headaches and fight everything from serious diseases to bad breath.
Other researchers are finding that gum might work better than a pill to deliver medicines and other substances into the bloodstream. That's because the lining (膜) of our cheeks can absorb certain substances more quickly than our stomachs and intestines (肠) can.
That discovery could help other researchers develop medicine-containing gums that fight colds, ease headaches, battle nervousness, and more. Scientists might even create antimicrobial (抗菌的) gums that cure bad breath.
Those projects may take years, but gum scientists have already had at least one recent success: They've created a gum that could help us stay awake.
Researchers have produced a gum called Stay Alert. Each stick has as much caffeine as a cup of coffee. It can take an hour for the caffeine in coffee to have its full effect, but the caffeine in Stay Alert hits in just a few minutes.
The gum is easy to transport and it's stable in cold and hot climates. Unlike a pill, it doesn't require water to swallow. Those qualities make it easy for soldiers to use.
For now, Stay Alert is available only to the military (军队). The manufacturer may one day offer it for sale to the public. People who work at night, such as truck drivers and medical personnel who ride in ambulances, might benefit from a product like Stay Alert.
72. The passage mainly talks about _____.
A. the rule of forbidding chewing gum in school
B. new research on chewing gum
C. different kinds of chewing gum
D. the relationship between chewing gum and medicine
73. What does the underlined word “hits” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. Touches. B. Attacks.
C. Takes effect. D. Affects badly.
74. According to the passage, Stay Alert is a gum which can help people _____.
A. stay awake B. fight colds
C. cure headaches D. overcome nervousness
75. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
A. Stay Alert is not easy to store
B. Stay Alert needs water to swallow
C. Stay Alert is available to the public now
D. we can't buy gums that cure bad breath now

参考答案
26. 解析 句意：老师告诉我们：光比声音速度快。从句中陈述的是客观真理，所以用一般现在时。
答案 D
27. 解析 句意：——昨天Lucy来访的时候你在于什么？——我(那时)刚写完作业正要开始洗澡。第一空后面有yesterday所以用一般过去时；第二空强调那时正要做某事。
答案 A
28. 解析 句意：我本打算去散步，但是有人打电话，所以我没能去。plan在called和couldn't之前发生的动作，所以用过去完成时。
答案 C
29. 解析 句意：——感谢上帝！天气很好，雨停了！——但我不知道好天气能持续多久。从It's a fine day.可知，现在天气很好，因此用现在完成时，表示对现在的影响。
答案 B
30. 解析 句意：——妈妈，我的午饭盒在哪里？——在老地方。A项的现在完成时表述的是现在的情况，而B项表述的是“过去的过去”，这两项都与题意不符；用一般过去时表述原来的地方。
答案 C
31. 解析 句意：我们一直在找便宜房子，但是(到现在)仍未找到我们喜欢的(一所房子)。根据语境可知，找房子这一动作一直在进行，所以用现在完成进行时指过去开始的动作一直持续到现在；第二空：one指代a＋前面提到的名词，即：a house。
答案 A
32. 解析 句意：西安的名胜古迹一直吸引着我们一家人，我希望明年的这个时候我们正在游玩。时间状语this time next year提示该句为将来某一时间正在进行的动作，故使用将来进行时。
答案 D
33. 解析 句意：Joanne Rowling，住在爱丁堡的一个贫穷的单亲母亲，写的所有《哈利·波特》的书在全世界都很畅销。句子主干为：All the Harry Potter books sell well.第一空living是现在分词表主动含义，作定语修饰mother；第二空为主句的谓语动词，sell表示事物的属性，所以用主动形式；另外，用副词well修饰动词。
答案 C
34. 解析 句意：在过去的十二个月里，研究人员研究了许多家装材料的效能。“in the past/last＋一段时间”在过去的一段时间里，与现在完成时连用。
答案 B
35. 解析 句意：既然我们已经把所有的钱都丢了，那么攻击我并说完全是我的过错也没有意义了。根据语境可知此处要用现在完成时强调“现在的结果(钱已经丢了)”。
答案 C
36-40 ACDBC 41-45 BAACD 46-50 BCDDA
51-55 CBDAB 56-60 DCBBC 61-65 DBABC
66-70 DACAD 71-75 CBCAD
76. √
77. 去掉第一个to 78. was → am 79. of → for
80. learning → learn 81. your → my 82. kind → kinds
83. speaking → spoken 84. good → well
85. forward后加to
One possible version:
On September 28, 2006, more than 210,000 middle school students in Florida took part in a reading activity, successfully breaking the Guinness World Record for the “Most People Reading Aloud Simultaneously in Multiple Locations”.
This event not only developed students' interest in reading but also taught them the importance of cooperation. With the help of their teachers, they eventually achieved their goal and won a place in the Guinness Book of World Records.
It reminds me that as students, we should have big dreams, but we must realize that only through hard work and cooperation can we succeed in the end.
