第二部分  阅读理解（共三节，满分30分）

第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分）

根据短文内容，判断句子正误，正确的填T，错误的填F。

The Silk Road was a long road that connected China with Central Asia, and even Eastern Europe. In history, it played an important role in the exchange (交换) of culture between China and the rest of the world and in the development of the economy (经济) in ancient China. It brought a lot to China including some foods we eat today.

Many Chinese people like to have some cucumber (黄瓜) with mashed garlic (蒜泥). But do you know that cucumber and garlic were brought to China by Zhang Qian, an early traveler on the Silk Road.

Cucumbers came from South Asia in early times. At first, Chinese people called it “Hugua”, “Hu” means “foreign”. Later, its name was changed into “Huanggua”. In some places, people call it “Qinggua”. Garlic was brought to China from Central Asia. It makes many dishes taste better and it’s good for our health. Many people from the northern part of China like eating dumplings along with garlic.

The Silk Road brought many kinds of fruits to China, too. For example, the home of grapes is Central Asia. The grapes are used to make wine in China. During the Tang Dynasty, people even painted grapes on their art pieces.

There are also some other names of foods with the characters “Hu”, “Yang”, “Fan” or “Xi”, such as “Huluobo” means “carrot” and “Yangcong” means “onion”. These names suggest that the foods are not from ancient China. Can you name more?

21. The Silk Road only connected China with Central Asia.

22. All Chinese like to have dumplings along with cucumbers.

23. Garlic and grapes were brought to China through the Silk Road.

24. Tomatoes may come from one of the foreign countries.

25 The passage is mainly about books that were brought to China through the Silk Road.
