11．New archaeological discoveries suggest that trade between Europe and Asia along the Silk Road probably began in some form many countries earlier than once thought．The findings，coupled with a widening range of scientific and historical research could add a fascinating new page to the epic of the Silk Road．
The latest and most surprising discovery is pieces of silk found in the hair of and Egyptian mummy from about 1000 BC，long before regular traffic on the Silk Road and at least one thousand years before silk was previously thought to be used in Egypt．Other research may extend human activity along this route back even further，perhaps a million years to the migration of human ancestors into eastern Asia．
The official origin of East-West commerce along the road is usually placed in the late 2nd century BC when an agent of the Chinese Emperor Wu-di returned from a dangerous secret mission across the desert into the remote high country of Central Asia．The agent，Zhang Qian，travelled as far as Afghanistan and brought back knowledge of even more distant lands such as Persia，Syria and a place known as Lijion．Historians have called this one of the most important journeys in ancient times．His journey opened the way for what have been thought to be the first indirect contacts between the ancient world's two superpowers，China and Rome．Chinese silk，first traded to central Asian tribes for war horses and to the Parthians of old Persia in exchange for acrobats and ostrich eggs，was soon finding its way through a network of merchants to the luxury markets in Rome．
But the new discoveries show that Chinese silk was apparently present in the West long before the Han emperor started organized trade over the Silk Road．The research could change thinking about the early history of world trade and provide insights into the mystery of just how and when Europe and the Mediterranean lands first became aware of the glorious culture at the other end of Eurasia．
 
74．The word"coupled"in the first paragraph could best be replaced byC．
A．produced             B．doubled           C．combined            D．contributed
75．What does the silk thread found in the hair of an Egyptian mummy suggest？A
A．That trade along the Silk Road began earlier than once thought
B．Historical research often achieves fascinating results
C．Egyptians had probably travelled to China to buy silk
D．The new light can now be thrown on ancient trading practices
76．Until recently most historians believed that trade along the Silk RoadD．
A．extended human migration into eastern Asia
B．primarily benefited the Egyptians
C．began a million years ago
D．originated in the 2nd century BC
77．Why have Historians always considered Zhang Qian's mission important？B
A．Because it discovered the Silk Road
B．Because he helped establish East-West trade
C．Because he brought back knowledge of Rome to the emperor
D．Because he travelled as far as Afghanistan．

Last Sunday I saw a worst storm in years．It came sudden and went on for over three hours．After lunch，I went into my room to have a rest．The air was hot，but all was quiet．Then a strong wind started to blow into my room．Pieces of paper on my desk flew high into the air and some flew out the open window．As I ran out to catch it，big drop of rain began to fall．When I come back into the house，it was raining more harder and harder．Then I heard a loud crashing sound from the back of the house．When I ran out to find out that had happened，a big tree had fallen down and broke the top of the backroom．

17．The Gunpowder Plot was conspiracy （陰謀） to kill King James I，as well as the members of the House of Lords and Commons at the re-opening of Parliament．It was designed by a group of Catholics in protest against the anti-Catholic laws that were being introduced by the king．
Robert Catesby was the leader of the group．It was he and his cousin，Thomas Wintour，and two other friends，Thomas Percy and John Wright，who formed the center of the group．They were joined by nine more men； among them was Guy Fawkes，from the city of York in the north of England．
Fawkes found a store room directly under the House of Lords and rented it out under the false name of John Johnson．The conspirators stored thirty-six barrels of gunpowder there，and Fawkes，who was an explosives expert，was to light the fuses （引信） on 5th November 1605．

Soldiers of the king surrounded Holbeach House，in the Midlands，where they knew the conspirators to be hiding．In the fight that followed，four of them were shot dead，including Catesby and Percy，who were actually killed by the same bullet．The others were imprisoned and hanged along with Guy Fawkes on 31st January 1606．
These days，on 5th November，children all over Britain celebrate Guy Fawkes Night by building huge bonfires and lighting fireworks．It's a family tradition and an occasion to eat potatoes baked by the flames．There is always a'guy'on top of the fire，a model of Guy Fawkes，dressed in the clothes of the 17th century．
