The Silk Rad is arguably the mst famus lng­distance trade rute f the ancient wrld. This passage cnnected Eurpe in the West with China in the East, and allwed the exchange f gds, technlgy, and ideas between the tw civilizatins. Althugh merchants culd make huge prfits traveling n the rad, it was nt withut risk.
The main Silk Rad started in Chang'an (knwn tday as Xi'an), the early Han Dynasty's capital. Travelers cmmencing their jurney frm this city culd take a nrthern rute that wuld take them acrss China's nrthwestern prvinces. After this, they wuld face the Gbi Desert, arguably the greatest danger f the Silk Rad.
The Gbi Desert, the largest desert in Asia, cnsists mainly f rcky, hard earth. This feature made it easier fr traders t travel acrss, cmpared t sandy deserts like the neighbring Taklimakan Desert. Like ther deserts, the Gbi Desert is dry and ht, and therefre the biggest challenge travelers faced was btaining enugh water fr themselves as well as fr their camels.
S, rest stps were created alng the rute, allwing travelers t rest, eat and drink. These places als prmted the exchange f gds, and even ideas, amngst the travelers wh stpped there. Usually, the rest stps were placed within a day's jurney f each ther. In this way, travelers culd avid spending t much time in the desert, which wuld make them be targets fr rbbers, anther danger f the Silk Rad.
Once thrugh the Gbi Desert, travelers wuld cntinue their jurney int Iran, Turkey, and finally Eurpe. While this part f the jurney may have been less dangerus, it is nt entirely withut peril (危险)．

Reintrducing beavers (海狸) t Britain culd help clean up rivers, prevent flding and minimise sil lss, an expert has claimed.
Prfessr Richard Brazier, a researcher at the University f Exeter, said unpublished results frm a trial area in Devn shwed muddy water entering an area where beavers were living was three times cleaner when it left. “Our trial has shwn that the beavers are able t dam ur streams in a way that keeps sil in the headwaters f ur catchment (流域) s it desn't blck up rivers dwnstream and pllute ur drinking and bathing waters. If we bring beavers back it's just ne tl we need t slve Britain's crisis f sil lss and agricultural pllutin f waterways, but it's a useful tl，” he said.
Prf Brazier's claims were disputed by the Natinal Farmers' Unin (NFU), which warned that the reintrductin f beavers t Sctland had led t fields and frests becming damaged. Spkesman Mark Ppe said: “The knwledge f the impacts beavers have had n farmland, riverbanks and fld defences in Sctland is cncerning. We await the results f the Devn trial and will analyse the utcmes then.”
Prf Brazier, an expert in Earth Surface Prcesses, insisted the animals culd even play a useful rle in preventing flding. He tld BBC News: “The public is currently paying peple t build leaky dams t keep strm waters in the uplands. The beavers can d it free f charge and even build their wn hmes.”
Hwever, Prfessr Jane Ricksn, a sil specialist frm Cranfield University, Bedfrdshire, jined the NFU in sunding a nte f cautin. She agreed that in sme places in the UK there was evidence f wrrying sil lss, and said new plicies were urgently needed. Beavers may in fact reduce the river channel and remve vegetatin, expsing banks t greater ersin (侵蚀) and increasing, rather than decreasing, the risk f flding, she warned. And she said beaver dams shuld be “leaky” t avid build­ups f large vlumes f water.
5．Hw d beavers help clean up rivers, prevent flding and minimise sil lss?
A．By building dams in their wn way.
B．By prtecting the frests r fields.
C．By building their wn hmes in the riverbank.

B．beavers culdn't decrease the risk f flding
C．it wuld take a lt f time t intrduce beavers
