这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了丝绸之路的历史。

【1】考查现在分词。分析句子可知，此处用非谓语动词，network和include之间是主动关系，故用现在分词。故填including。

【2】考查形容词。此处修饰名词exchange，需用形容词形式。故填cultural。

【3】考查反身代词。此处指代主语the name，需用反身代词。故填itself。

【4】考查名词的数。根据several+可数名词复数 可知，此处应用journey的复数形式。故填journeys。

【5】考查介词。根据固定搭配be known to…为……所熟知，可知此处应用介词to。故填to。

【6】考查关系副词。分析句子可知，此处是定语从句, 先行词the 20th century在从句____6____ geographer Sven Hedin wrote a book ____7____ (title) “The Silk Road” in 1938.中作状语，因此用when引导。故填when。

【7】考查过去分词。分析句子可知，此处应用非谓语动词，逻辑主语title与book之间是动宾关系，故用过去分词。故现titled。

【8】考查副词。此处作时间状语，需用副词形式。故填finally。

【9】考查冠词。此处是特指丝绸之路的历史，故用定冠词。故填the。

【10】考查时态语态。由now判断本句为一般现在时，they与cross之间为被动关系，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，主语they是复数，故用are done。故填are crossed。
