路是兩地之間的橋梁。絲綢之路是連接東方和西方之間的橋梁，它已經(jīng)超過2000年的時間了。這是貿(mào)易和文化傳播的路線。今天，絲綢之路也是很好的旅游地方，如，莫高窟和兵馬俑�，F(xiàn)在，從八月份開始，一個新的鐵路線將要建成，從北京通過絲綢之路。

【1】句意：但你知道絲綢之路不是一條單一的路線嗎？

根據(jù)前文A road is a bridge between two places.及后文 It is actually a series of trade and culture transmission（傳送) routes.可知，絲綢之路并不是單一的路，此處指代的是“單一的”，英語是single，是一個形容詞，修飾后面的名詞route，故答案為single。

【2】句意：貿(mào)易路線始于陜西西安市，結束于東歐。

根據(jù)文中The trade route started from the city of Xi’an in Shanxi Province路線開始于陜西省西安市，而and并列后面應該指代的是“結束于”，英語是end，而前句的start用的是過去式，所以后面也用過去式，故答案為started。

【3】句意：絲綢之路之所以得名，是因為中國的絲綢曾經(jīng)是沿著：這條路。

根據(jù)文中空格后面的內(nèi)容 Chinese silk used to be; carried along: this road.中國的絲綢曾經(jīng)是沿著這條路，是對這條路得名的原因，故答案為because。

It went across one-fourth of the planet.及全文的理解可知，絲綢之路是承載文化和貿(mào)易的橋梁，所以不僅對中國，而且對于世界都是很重要的，故答案為rest。

【5】句意：通過這種方式，語言和文化相互發(fā)展和影響。

根據(jù)文中knowledge about science, arts and literature, as well as craft man ship and technology, was shared across the Silk Road.科學、藝術和文學知識，以及工藝人員和技術，也在絲綢之路上共享。在共享的過程中就會發(fā)展和彼此受到影響，由于and并列后面的動詞用的過去式，所以前面也要用過去式，故答案為developed。

【6】句意：如今，絲綢之路沿線的名勝古跡是熱門的旅游勝地。

根據(jù)后文such as the Terracotta Warriors (兵馬俑）in Xi’an and Mogao Grottoes（莫高窟)in Dunhuang, Gansu.可知，這里都是絲綢之路沿線的旅游地，所以這里表達的是沿著絲綢之路……，故答案為along。

【7】句意：一條新的鐵路線，新東方快線，從北京穿過絲綢之路。

根據(jù)后文the New Orient Express, is running from Beijing across the Silk Road.這是從北京穿過絲綢之路的“新東方快車”，是鐵路線的名字，故答案為train。
