21、vinces. After this, they would face the Gobi Desert, arguably the greatest danger of the Silk Road.The Gobi Desert, the largest desert in Asia, consists mainly of rocky, hard earth. This feature made it easier for traders to travel across, compared to sandy deserts like the neighboring Taklamakan De

22、sert. Like other deserts, the Gobi Desert is dry and hot, and therefore the biggest challenge travelers faced was obtaining enough water for themselves as well as for their camels.So, rest stops were created along the route, allowing travelers to rest, eat and drink. These places also promoted the e

23、xchange of goods, and even ideas, amongst the travelers who stopped there. Usually, the rest stops were placed within a day' journey of each other. In this way, travelers could avoid spending too much time in the desert, which would make them targets for robbers, another danger of the Silk Road.

24、Once through the Gobi Desert, travelers would continue their journey into Iran, Turkey, and finally Europe. Whilst this part of the journey may have been less dangerous, it is not entirely without its perils.28. The underlined word "it " in the first paragratoh refers .A. making huge profi

Archimedes accepts the challenge and, during a subsequent trip to the public baths, realizes that the more his body sinks into the water, the more water is displaced making the displaced water an exact measure of h

29、is volume. Realizing he has hit upon a method to determine whether the King s crown was made of gold or silver, the young Greek leaps out of the bath and rushes home naked crying“ Eureka! Eureka!Or, translated:“ I ve found it! I it! ” ve foundToo bad, however, Archimedes probably never uttered the p

The oldest authority for the naked- Archimedes eureka story is Vitruvius, a Roman writer, who included the tale in his introduction to his

31、ninth book of architecture. “ Vitruviusmay have gotten it wrong, ”says Chris Schmitt, a mathematician at the University of Berlin and a self-described Archimedes fan. “ The method attributed to Archimedes in the story works in theory so it sounds right, but when you actually try it, you find that th

32、e real world gets in the way. ”In fact, Schmitt is one of a long line of scientists, including Galileo, who have read the account and thought, “ That can t be right. ” AAsrGchailmileeodewsroctoeu, ld have achieved a far more precise result using his own law of buoyancy and an accurate scale. In fact

33、, the surface tension of water can make the volume of a light object like a crown immeasurable.be“ There masome truth to it, ”Schmitt adds. “ Archimedesdid measure the volume of things but the eureka moment was maybe due to his original discovery concerning buoyance, not to sitting in the bathtub an

34、d then running through the streets naked. ”Much like Newton ' apple, the exclamation persists because of the enduring power of the story: a golden crown, a life in the balance, a naked mathematician. The suspect foundations of the eureka moment take nothing away from the word ' ability to un

35、iquely and concisely convey the flash of inspiration.32. According to the first paragraph, how would Archimedes measure the volume of the crown?A. He would weigh himself with and without the crown.B. He would weigh the crown first and then put it into water.C. He would go to the public baths wearing

36、 the crown on his head.D. He would sink the crown into water and measure the water displaced.33. What did Galileo probably think of the naked-Archimedes eureka story?A. He believed the word “ eureka " was said situatitherB. He suspected Archimedes di dn' t run through the streenaked.C. He d

38、 Most people accept the authenticity of the original story.D. People are still inspired by the achievements of Archimedes.35. What is the purpose of this text?A.
