New archaeological discoveries suggest that trade between Europe and Asia along the Silk Road probably began in some form many centuries earlier than once thought. The findings, coupled with a widening range of scientific and historical research, could add a fascinating new page to the epic of the Silk Road.

The latest and most surprising discovery is pieces of silk found in the hair of an Egyptian mummy from about 1,000 BC ，long before regular traffic on the Silk Road and at least one thousand years before silk was previously thought to be used in Egypt. Other research may extend human activity along this route back even further, perhaps a million years to the migration of human ancestors into eastern Asia.

The official origin of EastWest commerce along the road is usually placed in the late 2nd century BC when an agent of the Chinese Emperor Wudi returned from a dangerous secret mission (使命)across the western desert into the remote high country of Central Asia. The agent, Zhang Qian, travelled as far as Afghanistan and brought back knowledge of even more distant lands such as Persia，Syria and a place known as Lijien, perhaps Rome. Historians have called this one of the most important journeys in ancient times. His journey opened the way for what have been thought to be the first indirect contacts between the ancient world's two superpowers, China and Rome. Chinese silk, first traded to central Asian tribes for war horses and to the Parthians of old Persia in exchange for acrobats and ostrich eggs ，was soon finding its way through a network of merchants to the luxury markets of Rome.

But the new discoveries show that Chinese silk was apparently present in the West long before the Han emperor started organized trade over the Silk Road. The research could change thinking about the early history of world trade and provide insights into the mystery of just how and when Europe and the Mediterranean lands first became aware of the glorious culture at the other end of Eurasia.

[语篇解读]　最新的考古学研究表明，古代欧亚大陆之间的主要贸易通道——丝绸之路，其起源可能比我们之前认为的要早许多世纪。

A. produced  B. continued

C. doubled  D. combined

A. Egyptians had probably travelled to China to buy silk

B. trade along the Silk Road began earlier than once thought

C. historical research often achieves fascinating results

D. new light can now be thrown on ancient trading practices

A. originated in the 2nd century BC

B. extended human migration into eastern Asia

C. began a million years ago

D. primarily benefited the Egyptians

8．Historians have always considered Zhang Qian's mission important because they believe________.

A. he brought back knowledge of Rome to the emperor

B. he discovered the Silk Road

C. he helped establish EastWest trade

Whenever sailing is mentioned，perhaps the first name coming into people's mind is Christopher Columbus，who sailed across the Atlantic Ocean four times and discovered a “new” continent—America.In China，we also have a sailing pioneer，Zheng He，who made seven Western Sea Voyages and promoted economic development and cultural exchanges.

July 11，when Zheng He began his famous voyage，has been named the Sailing Day in our country since 2005.It is believed that sailing can help us explore and make better use of the ocean.Like exploring the space，sailing is certain to benefit human beings a lot.
