The ancient Silk Road was a once-in-a-lifetime journey. It was one of the most important milestones(里程碑) of trade and culture in world history, and the pioneer, Zhang Qian, could not be easily forgotten by history. He was a great diplomat(外交官), traveller and explorer in the Han Dynasty of China.
In 138 BC, Zhang Qian was sent to the west of China for an alliance with the Yuezhi people to fight against the Xiongnu. He started his trip from Chang'an. But unluckily, Zhang was caught by the Xiongnu people just as he left Han, and was held prisoner(囚犯) for about ten years.
Zhang finally managed to run away with some of his men and continued to travel west. When Zhang at last reached the Yuezhi, he was sad to find that they didn't want to fight against the Xiongnu people. On the return journey, Zhang Qian and his men were caught again. It was not until 126 BC that they returned to Chang'an.
Though Zhang hadn't finished his task, he brought back first-hand information about Central Asia. The paths Zhang Qian explored later served as the highways connecting Europe, Mesopotamia, Central Asia, and East Asia. Commodities(商品) were transported along this network of highways, which was known as the "Silk Road". Zhang Qian has been remembered as the great explorer that opened up a new era(时代) of cultural exchange between the East and the West.

【分析】
这是一篇关于张骞与丝绸之路的英语阅读理解题，共4道小题，分别考查词义猜测、人物性格推断、主旨大意和语篇推断能力。解题思路如下：
1. 第1题是词义猜测题，需结合上下文语境：张骞被派去与月氏人对抗匈奴，因此“alliance”应是指双方合作的协议，据此判断选项。
2. 第2题是人物性格题，需从文中张骞的经历（被囚禁十年仍设法逃脱、坚持完成出使任务）分析其性格，匹配对应选项。
3. 第3题是主旨大意题，需梳理全文核心内容：围绕张骞出使西域开辟丝绸之路展开，选择最贴合的标题。
4. 第4题是语篇推断题，需结合最后一段结尾内容（张骞打开东西方文化交流新时代），推断后续最可能讨论的内容。
【解析】
1. 词义猜测题：根据第二段“fight against the Xiongnu”可知，张骞被汉武帝派去与月氏人建立共同对抗匈奴的合作关系，“alliance”意为“合作协议”，对应选项C。
2. 人物性格题：张骞出使途中被匈奴囚禁十年，仍设法逃脱并继续完成任务，体现了他的勇敢和意志坚定，对应选项D。
3. 主旨大意题：全文围绕张骞出使西域开辟丝绸之路展开，A选项“Zhang Qian and the Silk Road”全面概括了文章核心；B选项仅涉及月氏人，片面；C选项未提及张骞；D选项与文章无关，故选A。
4. 语篇推断题：最后一段结尾提到张骞“opened up a new era of cultural exchange between the East and the West”，因此后续最可能讨论丝绸之路对文化交流的影响，对应选项D。
