Ⅴ.阅读理解
The Tang Dynasty was probably the period when the Silk Road was at its busiest. One important center on the road was the city of Chang'an, where present－day Xi'an now stands. Chang'an was the capital city of this dynasty and by about 750 AD it had become a strong and successful capital of around two million people. Because of the chances for trade, a number of foreigners from countries bordering China lived in the city.
The markets at this time in Chang'an were perhaps the most exciting markets anywhere in the world. They sold goods from India, Africa, Japan, Korea，Turkey, Iran and other Arab countries and many items in the markets would have been completely new to some of the buyers. Interesting animals were sold together with exotic (奇异的) plants and strange medicines. Dried animals, dried foods and dried plants were laid out for sale next to rare seeds and spices (香料). But besides the hope to trade, which drew people together, China was still largely a mysterious country to the outside world and certainly the secret of making silk was still unknown.
The route (路线)to the west followed different paths but the traders would have traveled from places to places, always looking for routes both to water and protection. However, the Ming Dynasty had its policy of isolation (闭关) and reduced the traffic along this ancient land route. Instead, sea routes became more popular and in the early 15th century there were many Chinese ships trading silk and other goods along the coasts of India, Arabia and Africa.
1．This passage mainly tells us ________.
A．the silk trade in the past
B．the rise and fall of the Silk Road
C．the hard life the traders lived on the Silk Road
D．why sea routes became popular in the early 15th century
2．It is probable that many dried goods were sold in the market because ________.
A．the market traders could store them for longer time and sell them more easily
B．they could be stored and transported more easily by the traders on the Silk Road
C．they could be transported far more easily by traders from different countries
D．they were lighter for the camels to carry wherever the traders wanted to go
3．By saying “China was still largely a mysterious country to the outside world” ，the author refers to the fact that ________.
A．a large part of China was mysterious to the outside world
B．China was a large country that was totally unknown to the outside world
C．to a great extent China was little known or understood by the outside world
D．most of China was misunderstood by the outside world
4．What does the underlined word “mysterious” mean
A．ample B．wonderful
C．lively D．secret
答案与解析：
1．解析：主旨大意题。从每一段的首句可以看出，本文讲的是丝绸之路的兴衰史。
答案：B
2．解析：推理判断题。从第三段可知丝绸之路很漫长，由此可推知交易的干货多是因为干货易于贮存和运输。
答案：B
3．解析：句意理解题。这句话指的是当时在很大程度上中国对于外面的世界来说是很神秘的这样的一个事实。
答案：C
4．解析：词义理解题。从“China was still largely a mysterious country to the outside world and certainly the secret of the silk making was still unknown.”看出此处mysterious是“神秘的”之意。
答案：D
