ENew archaeological discovers suggest that trade between Europe and Asia along the Silk Road probably began in some form. many countries 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 farest and most surprising discovery is pieces of silk found in the hair of and Egyptian mummy from about 1000 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 which was the agent of the Chinese Emperor Wu-di returned from a dangerous secret mission（使命）across the desert into the remote high country of Central Asia. The agent, Zhang Qian, travelled as far as Afghanistan back knowledge of even more distant lands such as Persia, Syria and a place known as Lijion,. Histerents 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 Pet la lu exchange for acrobats and ostrich eggs, was soon finding its way through a network of merchants to the luxury markets in 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.72. The word “coupled” in the first paragraph could best be replaced by .A. producedB. contributedC. doubledD. combined
The silk thread found in the hair of an Egyptian mummy suggests that .A. Egyptians had probably travelled to China to buy silkB. trade along the Silk Road began earlier than once thoughtC. historical research often achieves fascinating resultsD. new light can now be thrown on ancient trading practices

共用题干New Understanding of Natural Silk's MysteriesNatural silk,as we all know,has a strength that man-made materials have long struggled to match.In a discovery that sounds more like an ancient Chinese proverb than a materials science breakthrough,MIT re- searchers have discovered that silk gets its strength from its weakness.Or,more specifically,its many weak- nesses. Silk gets its extraordinary durability and ductility（柔韧性）from an unusual arrangement of hydrogen bonds that are intrinsically very weak but that work together to create a strong,flexible structure.Most materials一especially the ones we engineer for strength一get their toughness from brittleness.As such,natural silks like those produced by spiders have long fascinated both biologists and engineers because of their light weight,ductility and high strength(pound for pound,silk is stronger than steel and far less brittle). But on its face,it doesn't seem that silks should be as strong as they are;molecularly,they are held together by hydrogen bonds , which are far weaker than the covalent（共价的）bonds found in other molecules.To get a better understanding of how silk manages to produce such strength through such weak bonds, the MIT team created a set of computer models that allowed them to observe the way silk behaves at the atomic level. They found that the arrangement of the tiny silk nanocrystals（纳米晶体）is such that the hydro- gen bonds are able to work cooperatively,reinforcing one another against external forces and failing slowlywhen they do fail,so as not to allow a sudden fracture to spread across a silk structure.The result is natural silks that can stretch and bend while retaining a high degree of strength.But while that's all well and good for spiders,bees and the like,this understanding of silk geometry could lead to new materials that are stronger and more ductile than those we can currently manufacture.Our best and strongest materials are generally expensive and difficult to produce(requiring high temperature treatments or energy-intensive processes).By looking to silk as a model,researchers could potentially devise new manufacturing methods that rely on inexpensive materials and weak bonds to create less rigid,more forgiving materials that are nonetheless stronger than anything currently on offer. And if you thought you were going to get out of this materials science story without hearing about carbon nanotubes（纳米碳管）, think again. The MIT team is already in the lab looking into ways of synthesizing silk-like structures out of materials that are stronger than natural silk-like carbon nanotubes. Super-silks are on the horizon.If the hydrogen bonds break due to external forces,they break fast.A:RightB:WrongC:Not mentioned
共用题干Historic Route 66:The Story of America's"Mother Road"1. The idea for Route 66 started in Oklahoma.Citizens there wanted to link their state with states to the east and west.By the l920s,federal officials wanted to connect state roads to provide a shorter,faster way across the country.So a plan was developed to connect existing state roads into one long national highway.2. United States Highway 66 was established on November 11,1926.It was one of the first federal highways .It crossed eight states.It was 3,800 kilometers long.Route 66 became the most famous road in America.It passed through the center of many cities and towns. It crossed deserts, mountains,valleys and rivers.3. In the 1930s,people suffered through the Great Depression.In Oklahoma,many poor families lost their farms because of dust storms.So they traveled west to California on Route 66 in search of a better life.In 1939,John Steinbeck wrote about these families in"The Grapes of Wrath."4. In his book,Steinbeck wrote:"66-the long concrete path across the country,waving gently up and down on the map,over the red lands and the gray lands,twisting up into the mountains, crossing the Divide and down into the bright and terrible desert,and across the desert to the mountains again,and into the rich California valleys."Steinbeck wrote:"66 is the path of a people in flight,refugees from dust and shrinking land.66 is the mother road,the road of flight."5. In 1946,the songwriter Bobby Troup and his wife drove across the country to Los Angeles.He wrote a song about traveling on Route 66 .The song told people they could have fun,could get their kicks,on that drive.In Los Angeles,Bobby Troup took the song to Nat King Cole,who recorded it. It became a huge hit.6. In the 1950s,holiday travel brought more and more families out West to explore.Route 66 represented the spirit of movement and excitement.In the 1960s,Americans watched a popular television series called"Route 66."It was the story of two young men driving across the country.The show was filmed in cities and towns across America.Yet only a few shows were filmed on the real Route 66.7. In real life,people were getting fewer and fewer kicks on Route 66.By 1962,parts of the road were closed because they were in poor condition.The federal government was building bigger highways .Cars and trucks could travel at higher speeds. People started driving on these new interstate highways instead of the old Route 66 .Finally,in 1985,Route 66 was officially removed from the national highway system.People have formed groups to save parts of the old 66 and many of the interesting places to eat,stay and see along the way. In 1985,Route 66 was officially removed from______.A: the national highway systemB: the east and westC: the federal governmentD: movement and excitementE: the northF: dust storms
