【解析】考查學生的詞匯和語法綜合運用能力。

【1】考查形容詞。句意：這是中國努力發(fā)展“絲綢之路”的最新證據(jù)。latest“最新的，最近的，最現(xiàn)代的”。故這里用latest。

【2】考查現(xiàn)在分詞的完成時作狀語。句意：這列火車從中國途徑Kazakhstan，Russia，Belarus，Poland，Germany，Belgium 和 France運行了18天后，最終到達了倫敦。很顯然，火車travel的動作發(fā)生在arrive之前，故用完成式Having travelled。

【3】考查完全倒裝和系動詞。句意：68個貨柜里裝的有日用商品、衣服、布料、包以及手提箱。根據(jù)句子結構可知，這里是完全倒裝結構，缺少系動詞，故用were。

【4】句意：速度是海上運輸?shù)膬杀叮?/span>比空運更干凈，更便宜。這里用twice相當于two times(兩倍)。

【5】考查非限制性定語從句關系詞。句意：Philippa Edmunds說：“速度是海上運輸?shù)膬杀犊�，比空運更干凈，更便宜。”，他在British Campaign for Better Transport工作。故這里用who指代Philippa Edmunds，在非限制性定語從句中擔當主語。

【6】考查代詞。句意：但是火車本身可能比它運載的貨物更加重要。這里用it指代the train。

【7】考查不定式。句意：中國需要尋找更多的地方來銷售它制造的貨物。這里用不定式表示目的，故填to sell。

【8】句意：這是來自倫敦經濟學院的解玉的理念。根據(jù)句子結構這里需要用名詞，故用belief。

【9】句意：中國的國內市場似乎并不樂觀，因此中國正在拼命尋找新的市場。這里用副詞修飾動詞，故用desperately。

【10】句意：很明顯，貨運列車作為中國制造商的好的交通方式，或許能幫助修復中國內部的商業(yè)信心。serve as“為…充當，擔任”。故這里用as。
