题目解答
答案
解析
本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了丝绸之路沿线的商队旅馆(caravanserais)的位置、功能、历史发展以及其在文化交流和贸易中的重要作用。
1. C. located
本题考查动词词义辨析。句意:它们通常位于城市或村庄的城墙外。
- A. displayed(展示)、B. occupied(占据)、D. equipped(装备)均不符合“建在城墙外”的语境;C. located(位于)符合,be located outside 表示“位于……之外”。
2. 题目选项可能存在输入错误,根据答案推测为“private individuals”(私人)
原题选项可能缺失,根据答案“2、A”及上下文“由当地政府或……资助”,推测应为“私人”(private),与“local governments”对应,强调资助者的两种类型。
3. 题目选项可能存在输入错误,根据答案推测为“combination”(组合)
句意:“caravanserai”一词是波斯语“karvan”(商队)和“saray”(宫殿/围楼)的组合。

- 答案“6、A”对应“construction”(此处可理解为“建造数量),符合“数量增加”的语境。
7. 题目选项可能存在输入错误,根据答案推测为“faced”(faced,面临)
句意:丝绸之路上的旅行者面临被盗窃或极端天气的风险。
- 答案“7、B”对应“faced”,face the possibility of 为固定搭配,符合语境。
8. 题目选项可能存在输入错误,根据答案推测为“subjected”(遭受)

句意:商队旅馆是丝绸之路上不同人群的非正式会合点。
- 答案“10、D”对应“meeting”,meeting point 表示“会合点”,符合“交流互动”的语境。
11. 题目选项可能存在输入错误,根据答案推测为“As a result”(因此)
句意:因此,这些建筑成为文化交流的重要中心。
- 前文提到“会合点”,后文讲“文化互动”,As a result 表因果关系,符合逻辑。

15. A. aided
