B The distance between ancient Rome and ancient China was about 4,000 miles by land. It was a very dangerous trip because here were terrible deserts and high mountains on the way. For a very long history, the ancient Romans did not know who was making this wonderful cloth called silk. The Romans first discovered pieces of silk in the goods they took from some of dead people they had conquered (征服). But those people did not know where the silk was made. They only traded for the silk. The Romans tried to find more traders as they came into villages to trade silk for other goods. But the traders did not know who made the silk, either. In fact, the trading along the Silk Road was a relay (接力) system. One trader would travel for a while, stop and trade, and return home. The next trader would continue, stop and trade, and return home. And so it went, no trader made the whole trip because the trip was too dangerous. The Silk Road shows its trade value between ancient Rome and ancient China. The Silk Road had a lot of value (价值). As the years went by along the Silk Road that is more valuable, there were even cities built on the oases (绿洲). It was never easy to travel by land from ancient China to ancient Rome. But it was worth it. Ancient Rome traded treasure mainly for ancient China’s silk and spices. In fact, more things traveled along the Silk Road than traders and goods. Ideas traveled along the Silk Road as well. The ideas changed the world. 30．Why was the distance between ancient Rome and ancient China a very dangerous trip according to the first paragraph? A．Because the silk distance was too far. B．Because the silk distance was very secret. C．Because the silk makers wanted to make more money. D．Because there were terrible deserts and high mountains on the way. 31．Why did no trader make the whole trip in Paragraph 3? A．Because the trip was too long. B．Because the trip was too dangerous. C．Because the traders did not know who made the silk. D．Because the Silk Road couldn’t show its trade value. 32．What did Ancient Rome trade treasure mainly trade for according to the last paragraph? A．Ancient China’s silk and spices. B．Ancient China’s culture. C．Ancient China’s thoughts. D．Ancient China’s tea. 33．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．The discovery of ancient Rome. B．The importance of the Silk Road. C．The history and value of the Silk Road. D．The international trade in ancient times. C Hundreds of years ago, a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots, a brave people, loved their country very much. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland, but there were too many of the Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win. One night, the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight, my men,” he said ,“Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die.” They were all very tired, so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty, but they too, were very tired ,and one by one, also fell asleep. The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside, taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more, the war would be over. Suddenly, one of them put his foot on a thistle (蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment, they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country. The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people like it.

It was a very dangerous trip because here were terrible deserts and high mountains on the way. For a very long history, the ancient Romans did not know who was making this wonderful cloth called silk. The Romans first discovered pieces of silk in the goods they took from some of dead people they had conquered (征服). But those people did not know where the silk was made. They only traded for the silk. The Romans tried to find more traders as they came into villages to trade silk for other goods. But the traders did not know who made the silk, either. In fact, the trading along the Silk Road was a relay (接力) system. One trader would travel for a while, stop and trade, and return home. The next trader would continue, stop and trade, and return home. And so it went, no trader made the whole trip because the trip was too dangerous. The Silk Road shows its trade value between ancient Rome and ancient China. The Silk Road had a lot of value (价值). As the years went by along the Silk Road that is more valuable, there were even cities built on the oases (绿洲). It was never easy to travel by land from ancient China to ancient Rome. But it was worth it. Ancient Rome traded treasure mainly for ancient China’s silk and spices. In fact, more things traveled along the Silk Road than traders and goods. Ideas traveled along the Silk Road as well. The ideas changed the world. 30．Why was the distance between ancient Rome and ancient China a very dangerous trip according to the first paragraph? A．Because the silk distance was too far. B．Because the silk distance was very secret. C．Because the silk makers wanted to make more money. D．Because there were terrible deserts and high mountains on the way. 31．Why did no trader make the whole trip in Paragraph 3? A．Because the trip was too long. B．Because the trip was too dangerous. C．Because the traders did not know who made the silk. D．Because the Silk Road couldn’t show its trade value. 32．What did Ancient Rome trade treasure mainly trade for according to the last paragraph? A．Ancient China’s silk and spices. B．Ancient China’s culture. C．Ancient China’s thoughts. D．Ancient China’s tea. 33．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．The discovery of ancient Rome. B．The importance of the Silk Road. C．The history and value of the Silk Road. D．The international trade in ancient times. 【答案】30．D 31．B 32．A 33．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了“丝绸之路”的历史和意义。 30．细节理解题。根据“It was a very dangerous trip because here were terrible deserts and high mountains on the way.”可知是因为途中有可怕的沙漠和高山。故选D。 31．细节理解题。根据“And so it went, no trader made the whole trip because the trip was too dangerous.”可知是因为这次旅行太危险了。故选B。 32．细节理解题。根据“Ancient Rome traded treasure mainly for ancient China’s silk and spices.”可知主要是为了交易中国古代的丝绸和香料。故选A。 33．主旨大意题。通读全文可知文章主要介绍了“丝绸之路”的历史和意义。故选C。 C Hundreds of years ago, a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland.

One night, the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight, my men,” he said ,“Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die.” They were all very tired, so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty, but they too, were very tired ,and one by one, also fell asleep. The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside, taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more, the war would be over. Suddenly, one of them put his foot on a thistle (蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment, they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country. The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people like it.
