小题1:古墓的挖掘能为研究“提供”线索，而不是“告知、展示、代表”线索。
小题1:当时的中原政府the central Chinese government 相对西部地区Western Regions从距离上看是faraway，因为当时的交通等原因。
小题1:前文没有交代任何有类似的发现，所以是the first。
小题1:能对该发现做出conclude的应该是“考古学家archaeologists”。
小题1:从后面是时间推断这里说的是古墓“建造”的时间。
小题1:能发现古墓，肯定这地方是第一次被挖掘，那repair “修路”是不可能的，应该是“建路”时被挖掘。B和C也不太合情理或者说没有A那么适合。
小题1:根据后句：Qiuci State，存在于公元前2世纪和公元860年，是西部36区之一。来看，Quici State应该是古代才存在的地名。
小题1:根据后面的时间状语，以及one of the 36 states来看，这里是介绍Qiuci State的存在的时间。如果是appear那时间状语就只需要the second century BC。时间跨度不会那么大。
小题1:本文一开始已经说明该古墓的挖掘对研究中原和西方地区的交流“exchanges”有帮助。
小题1:根据后面on the Western Regions知道这里意思是“中原文化对西部地区的影响”。 固定搭配influence on sth。
小题1:古墓被挖出来后，自然是“找到”一些尸体。
小题1:一般古墓发现的都是钱币，陶器等不容易腐烂的东西，A、B和C三项都是不容易在墓里保存的。
小题1:语境暗示法。前面说到“挖了”9座古墓了，那么人们认为是还要“再挖”3座。
小题1:后文用了either…or，说明存在不确定性，用probably最合适。
小题1:要理清这里的意思：墓里的人或者是受汉文化影响的西部人或者是本地区的人。用country范围太大。 |

“I don’t often talk with my parents or grandparents, but I talk a lot with my old friends on QQ,” said Fox’s Shadow, the online name used by a girl student in China. “Most of my classmates use QQ after school.”
QQ is the biggest messaging service in China. A record from Tencent, the company which developed QQ, shows that 4 million people used it one Saturday night in October.

A 16-year-old Beijing boy, named Bart Simon online, dislikes QQ users. “I used to chat on QQ, but I found that most people were talking about foolish things,” he said. Now he chats online in English, using MSN. “I only chat online because I’ve got friends in Japan, the US and Singapore,” he said. “I want to learn more about foreign cultures.” But he spends little time chatting on QQ as he sees it as a waste of time and money.
“If you are really addicted to it, sometimes you can’t give your mind to your lessons,” he said. “And friends in your real life are always more important than those so-called friends you meet online .”
