朝丝绸之路的建立，东西方文明通过贸易、宗教和偶尔的冲突融合在一起。定语从句修饰先行词crossroads,

关系词在从句作地点状语，故用whereo故填where。

现的牙齿和骨头中提取了DNA数据。此处表示“从……中”应用介词from。故填from。

[28题详解】

考查短语。句意：进一步的研究显示，其中一人有大约50%的西部欧亚血统，另一人有30%的西部欧亚血

统，这表明这些人可能是西部欧亚女性和当地男性结合的后代。根据上文twooutliers可知，此处指两者中

的另一个，应用theother。故填theother。

[29题详解】

考查主语从句。句意：研究小组得出的结论是，基因混合可以部分归因于这些迁徙。引导主语从句，从句

缺少宾语，指物，应用what,首字母大写。故填What。

[30题详解】

考查时态语态。句意：专家表示，第二次大迁徙时期的标志是基因库发生了重大变化。主语secondmmor

migrationperiod与谓语构成被动关系，根据上文said可知用一般过去时的被动语态，谓语用单数。故填was

markedo
