The Silk Road is the name of different roads that long ago connected Europe, Africa and Asia. People reached these different places along these roads. Scientists believe people began to travel the Silk Road about 3000 years ago. By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world, the Silk Road covered almost 6500 kilometers. It spread from Rome to China, which is from the West to the Far East.

Traders travelling along the Silk Road carried silk, of course. They also carried and traded spices (香料), cloth, valuable stones and gold.

There is a famous old story along the old road. It is said that Roman soldiers travelled through central Asia. They started to live somewhere near the ancient Chinese village of Liqian, Some of these Romans married local Chinese women and the story of blue-eyed villages of China was started.

During its busiest period, the Silk Road allowed people from many different cultures and countries to meet each other and mix. The Silk Road allowed the sharing of valuable goods and new ideas. These included people and trading goods from the Mediterranean, Persian, Magyar, Armenian, Bactrian , Indian and Chinese areas. All these peoples travelled the Silk Road, and they shared goods, stories, languages, and cultures.

In modern times, the old Silk Road routes are still used, but now they are crossed by trains instead of camels and horses. There is even a Silk Route Museum in Jiuquan in China. It has over 35,000 objects from all along the Silk Road. In this way, China protects the history of many countries and peoples.

1.How many kilometers did the Silk Road cover?

A. About 3000. B. Nearly 6500. C. Almost 2000. D. Over 35,000.

2.Who married ancient Chinese women in the story of blue-eyed villages of China?

阅读下文并回答问题。

A new study suggests that the more teenagers watch television,the more likely they are to develop depression(抑郁症)as young adults.

The researchers used a national long-term survey of healthy young teenagers of about 13—16 to find out the relationship between media use and depression.They based their findings on more than 4000 young teenagers who were not depressed when the survey began in 1995.

As part of the survey, the young people were asked how many hours of television or videos they watched daily.They were also asked how often they played computer games and listened to the radio.Here was the result.

The young people spent five and a half hours a day using media and more than 2 hours of that was spent watching TV.

Seven years later,in 2001,more than 7% of the young people had signs of depression.The average age at that time was 21.Brian Primack at the University of Pittsburgh medical school was the lead author of the new study.He says every extra hour of television meant an 8% increase in the chances of developing signs of depression.

The researchers say they did not find any such relationship with the use of other media such as movies,video games or radio.But the study did find that young men were more likely than young women to develop depression given the same amount of media use.

Doctor Primack says the study did not find out if watching TV causes depression directly.But one possibility,he says, is that it may take time away from activities that could help prevent depression, like sports and social activities. It might also prevent a person from sleeping well, he says, and that could have an influence.

The study was just published in the Archives of General Psychiatry.

In December, the journal Social Indicators Research published a study of activities that help lead to happy lives. Researchers from the University of Maryland found that people who describe themselves as happy spend less time watching television than unhappy people. The study found that happy people are more likely to be socially active,to read, attend social services and to vote.

1.According to the study,were young women more likely than young men to develop depression given the same Amount of media use?

2.What was the purpose of the research?

3.What could help prevent depression according to Doctor Primack?

4.If you are a parent,will you allow your child to watch TV more than 2 hours a day?Why or Why not?

1.No./No, they weren’t. 2.To find out the relationship between media (媒体) use and depression. 3.Sports , social activities and sleeping well. 4.The answers vary. 【解析】试题本文为一篇 “使用电视等媒体与患抑郁症”...
