24、oking for America, he was searching for a route from Spain to China; America just got in the way.The Spanish were after the riches of Asia: silk, dates, spices. Until later adventurers discovered how to sail to the Far East, trade with China depended on the Silk Road. The trade between China and Eur

Eventually a way appeared; as sea traffic developed from the 17th Century onwards, the overland route diminished.Now China is seeking to revive(复兴)the Silk Road and is preparing to invest 4 trillion pounds in

32、成为了解中国和旅行的目的地。人们能够踏上丝绸之路寻觅现代奇迹和已被遗忘的辉煌。8词义猜测题。由第三段第一句“Now China is seeking to revive(复兴) the Silk Road”(现在中国正在寻求复兴丝绸之路),因此推断画线句句意是:最终一条路出现了;由于17世纪之后海上交通的发展,陆路消失了。所以画线词词义是“消失”,与disappear意义相近。故B选项正确。9细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“It is hoped that goods can be shipped westwards by land far more quickly and economica
33、lly than by sea.”可知,中国复兴丝绸之路是希望能够通过陆地比海洋更快更经济地将商品输送至远方。故C选项正确。10细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“But the plan is also to attract more tourists.”可知,复兴丝绸之路吸引了更多的游客,促进了中国的旅游业。故D选项正确。11主旨大意题。文章主要讲述中国正在寻求复兴丝绸之路,希望能够通过陆地比海洋更快更经济地将商品输送至远方。这也极大地促进了中国的旅游业的发展,人们可以踏上丝绸之路寻觅现代奇迹和已被遗忘的辉煌。因此推断选项A“迷人的丝绸之路”为最佳标题。故选A。DWhat if we had t
34、he power to control time, instead of moving from the past to the present to the future? What if we could jump, loop and travel through time in a machine? What if we could go wherever and whenever we pleased?This ability would allow us to witness historic wonders, change decisions and see people from
35、 the past. We could right wrongs and stop wars from starting.The mysterious puzzle of time has kept people debating its nature for hundreds of years. Science fiction writers have turned it into imaginative stories. Some scientists have even attempted to explain it using math. This math tries to make
36、 the dream of time travel come true.The scientist Albert Einstein said that time and space are one thing. He called it “spacetime.” Einstein said that there are three dimensions in space: height, width and depth. A scientist named Hermann Minkowski added time as a fourth dimension.Einstein introduce
37、d two ideas that have led to theories about the possibility of time travel. The first is relativity. The idea of relativity is that the force of gravity causes space to bend, which causes time to twist. The second idea focuses on special relativity. The idea is that a traveler moving super-fast thro
38、ugh flat spacetime will enter the future. Einstein considered time “relative” because it is measured based on where we are on Earth or in space.Stephen Hawking is a famous scientist. He believes that a time machine will never be built. If it were possible, he thinks we would already know. If a time
39、machine could be built, how come no one from the future has invaded us?The first science fiction story with this theme is The Clock That Went Backward by Edward P. Mitchell, which was published in 1881. Since then, thousands of books, films and television shows have explored the idea of time travel,
40、 in which some tools such as phones, watches, photographs and old books take travelers backward and forward.Will time travel ever happen? Who knows?

What if we could jump, loop and travel through time i
44、n a machine? What if we could go wherever and whenever we pleased?”可知,如果我们有能力控制时间,而不是从过去到现在到未来,会怎么样?如果我们能在机器里跳跃、循环和穿越时间会怎样?如果我们可以去任何我们想去的地方和时间呢?由此可知,作者写第一段的目的是吸引读者对时光旅行的注意。故选C。13推理判断题。根据第五段中“Einstein introduced two ideas that have led to theories about the possibility of time travel.”可知爱因斯坦提出了两种观点,这
45、两种观点导致了关于时间旅行可能性的理论。由此可推知,爱因斯坦的观点导致了关于时光旅行可能性的理论,说明爱因斯坦会同意A选项“时光旅行在未来是可能的”的说法。故选A。14主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“The first science fiction story with this theme is The Clock That Went Backward by Edward P. Mitchell, which was published in 1881. Since then, thousands of books, films and television shows have explor
46、ed the idea of time travel, in which some tools such as phones, watches, photographs and old books take travelers backward and forward.”可知,第一个以这个话题为主题的科幻故事是Edward P. Mitchell的倒转的钟,出版于1881年。从那时起,成千上万的书籍、电影和电视节目都在探索时空旅行的概念,其中一些工具,如手机、手表、照片和旧书,带着旅行者来回穿梭,由此可知,倒数第二段主要内容是关于时光旅行的不同作品。故选D。15推理判断题。根据最后一段“Wil
47、l time travel ever happen? Who knows? Most important is to keep your eyes open and have a sense of wonder.”可知,时光旅行真的会发生吗?谁知道呢?最重要的是睁大你的眼睛,保持一种好奇的感觉。由此可知,作者对于时空旅行的态度是充满希望的。故选D。第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Carving pumpkins is a classic Halloween activity.

58、loween. You can also use some lights that are battery powered rather than actually on fire.(这给了它燃烧的感觉,这在万圣节是最好的。你也可以使用一些电池供电的灯,而不是点火照明)”可知,本句应当是在说明让南瓜亮起来的方式,后文提到了使用电灯,而不是点火照明,可知本句是在说明在使用点火照明南光灯的一种方式。后文中That可对应到D选项中use an actual candle inside your pumpkin。故D选项“你可以在南瓜里面使用真正的蜡烛”符合语境,故选D。20根据上文“On Hallo
