“But Pam was my best friend ever,” I cried.

Mum told me that circumstances (環(huán)境) change and people change.

The Silk Road is the name of different roads that connected Europe, Africa and Asia long ago. It was named by F. von Richthofen, who was a famous German geographer. Scientists believe people began to travel the Silk Road about 3,000 years ago. People reached these different places along these roads. By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world, the Silk Road covered almost 7,000 kilometers. It went from Rome to China, which is from the West to the Far East.

Businessmen travelled along the Silk Road to carry silk, of course. They also carried and traded other things like spices（香料）, cloth, jewels and gold.

Along and around these ancient paths（小路）, have come many fascinating and mysterious stories.

It is said that Roman soldiers who lost a war travelled through central Asia. They decided to live somewhere near the ancient Chinese villages. Some of these Romans married local Chinese women and the stories of the blondhaired, blueeyed tribes of China was started.

Some historians believe that the people of Kashmir were taken away from their country Israel. They were prisoners（俘虜） of war almost 2,800 years ago. People say that these people travelled along the Silk Road. They kept their Jewish way of life for a long time.

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 things and new ideas. It included people and trading goods from different areas. All these peoples travelled the Silk Road, and they shared goods, stories, languages. and cultures.

In modern times, the old Silk Road routes（路線） 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.Who gave the name "Silk Road" ?

My mother            when I got home yesterday.

A. will cook B. cooks C. has cooked D. was cooking

D 【解析】句意：當(dāng)我昨天回到家的時(shí)候，我的媽媽正在做飯。考查的是過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)。根據(jù) when引導(dǎo)的一般過(guò)去時(shí)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句推斷主句描述的是過(guò)去某個(gè)時(shí)間正在發(fā)生的動(dòng)作，故用過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)，過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)的構(gòu)成是：主語(yǔ)+was/were+動(dòng)詞的現(xiàn)在分詞，主語(yǔ)是第三人稱單數(shù)所以be動(dòng)詞用was，cook的現(xiàn)在分詞是cooking；故答案選D。
