Imagine a relay(接力) race. During this race, an athlete holds a stick as he runs a certain distance. Then he passes the stick to the next runner. That person runs faster, and then passes the stick to a third runner. Now imagine that the runners do not pass a stick. Instead they pass shiny silk, as well as gold, fruit, and glass. Imagine that the race does not move forward in just one direction. Instead the runners go back and forth along a road. They trade goods all along this route (路线) and at each end of it. Now imagine that the runners are businessmen. They lead caravans (商队) or lines of camels that carry things to sell. They travel on the ancient Silk Road to earn their living.

The Silk Road was a complex trade network. It passed through thousands of cities and towns. It stretched from eastern China, across central Asia and the Middle east, to the Mediterranean Sea. Businessmen traveled on the Silk Road from about 200 BC to about 1300 AD. Then sea travel began to offer new routes. Some people called the Silk Road the world's longest highway. However, the Silk Road included many routes—not just one smooth path. The routes ran through mountains and across deserts. They passed through an area that now includes 18 countries. The Silk Road had many dangers. These dangers ranged from hot sun and deep snow to thieves and wars. Only expert traders could survive.

The Silk Road got its name from its most prized goods. People used silk as money. They could pay taxes or buy goods with it. Traders carried more than just silk, though. They had gold, silver, and glass from Europe. People in the Middle East and Asia wanted these things. Businessmen also took horses from flat, grassy areas in central Asia and brought them to China and other areas. The horses changed the way people farmed and ran their armies. Indian businessmen traded salt and rare, beautiful stones. Chinese merchants traded medicine and china. They also traded paper, which quickly replaced animal skins in the west. Businessmen carried apples from central Asia to Rome. The Chinese had learned to combine different trees to create new kinds of fruit. They taught this science to others, such as the Romans. The Romans began to grow apples for food. The Silk Road led to worldwide commerce 2,000 years before the World Wide Web.

The people along the Silk Road did not share only goods. They also shared beliefs. Monks, priests, and other faith leaders taught their religions to others. The Silk Road created pathways for knowledge, diplomacy and religion.

4．People turned to the sea for new routes after around 1300 AD because ________.

A．the Silk Road included many routes  B．people traveled on the Silk Road for too long

C． the Silk Road passed through many areas

D．there were more dangers along the Silk Road

6．Which of the following statements is WRONG?

B．Some people probably died while traveling.

C．The Silk Road gave people the idea to build highways.

D．Westerners probably used to write on animal skins.

7．In which column of a newspaper can we most probably read the article?

A．Culture.     B．Travel.    C．Sports.    D．Science.

I was never very neat，while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place，but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time，Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over，and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.

War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon，I heard her screaming，“Take your shoes away! Why under my bed！” Deafened，I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.

The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute without a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation，I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up，she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers，weeping. Obviously，that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden，a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.

Slowly，I collected the pencils，took back the books，made my bed，cleaned the socks and swept the floor，even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn't notice Kate had sat up. She was watching，her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then，she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me and said，“Thanks.”

Kate and I remained roommates for the rest of the year. We didn't always agree，but we learned the key to living together: giving in，cleaning up and holding on.

Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.

Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.

Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.

However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.

As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.

12. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?

A. They must run long distances.

B. They are qualified for the marathon.

C. They are good at swinging their legs.

D. They have to follow special rules.

13. What advantage does race walking have over running?

A. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.

B. It’s less challenging physically.

C. It’s more effective in body building.

D. It’s more popular at the Olympics.

14. What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking?

A. Having a medical checkup.

B. Getting experts’ opinions.

C. Hiring an experienced coach.

D. Doing regular exercises.

15. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking?

A. Skeptical.     B. Tolerant.

C. Objective.     D. Conservative.

七选五 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。

Sites of cultural heritage(遗产) often carry a large degree of value.Famous World Heritage Sites like the Pyramids of Giza or the Forbidden City in Beijing are truly impressive.　16　 And they also show what the human mind and human culture are capable(有能力的) of. 

However,cultural relics(遗迹) are more than just valuable in art—they tell a story of human history.Everything that makes up our society (our values,our language,our traditions,our way of life,etc.) comes from our ancestors.　17　 This is extremely valuable because it provides us with a way to understand different cultures around the world and how they join each other.It offers chances for us to learn from the past and develop a better future. 

　18　 Some relics were stolen from museums in Bagdad and the Iraq War caused great damage(破坏) to parts of the ancient city of Babylon.These acts are hugely harmful to the international society.　19　 

So it is important to set an international rule to be followed during a war in order to greatly reduce the harms to cultural relics.　20　 In order to better protect cultural relics,the law must be used in all situations even though in certain cases,a war can be won more easily by attacking common people. 

A.They are worth protecting.

B.They are beautiful pieces of art.

C.Recently there have been many terrible acts.

D.Cultural heritage is important for many reasons.

E.Cultural relics are the only means we have of connecting with our past.

F.The harms do not only influence our present-day society,but all of our future.

G.This is the case,for example,with the laws about attacking common people in a war.
