17. The Keeper of the River
An old man had been working for many years for a town. His job was to clear away natural waste from the pool water in the hills, which made up the lovely river flowing through the town nearby. Quietly and 36 , the old man guarded the hills, 37 the leaves and branches, and cleaned up the dirt that would have 38 and polluted the fresh flow of water. Elegant swans(天鹅)were seen floating along the clear river and the view was so beautiful 39 words.www.ks5u.com
Years passed. One evening, the town committee met. As they reviewed the budget(预算), one man's eye caught sight of the salary 40 being paid to the seldom seen keeper of the river. He asked, \"Who is the old man? Why do we 41 to employ him? No one in town ever sees him. For all we know, the strange keeper of the hills isn't doing his job. His position isn't 42 any longer.” Then they voted to 43 the man.
For several weeks, nothing changed...

18. 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 (史诗) of the Silk Road.
The most surprising discovery is pieces of silk found in the hair of an 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 trade 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 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 Parthian for acrobats and ostrich eggs, was soon finding its way through a network of merchants to the luxury (奢侈品) 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. 67. The word “coupled” in the first paragraph could best be replaced by . A. combined B. contributed C. doubled D. produced
68. The silk thread found in the hair of an Egyptian mummy suggests that . A. Egyptians had probably travelled to China to buy silk B. new light can now be thrown on ancient trading practices C. historical research often achieves fascinating results D. trade along the Silk Road began earlier than once thought
69. Until recently historians mostly believed that trade along the Silk Road . A. began a million years ago B. primarily benefited the Egyptians C. originated in the 2nd century BC
D. extended human migration into eastern Asia
70. Historians have always considered Zhang Qian’s mission important because they believe . A. he discovered the Silk Road B. he helped establish East-West trade C. he travelled as far as Afghanistan
D. he brought back knowledge of Rome to the emperor
