【1】细节理解题。根据第一段“The Silk Road covered almost 6,500 kilometers.”丝绸之路覆盖了近6,500公里。可知丝绸之路长度大约6,500公里。故选B。

【2】细节理解题。根据第一段“Traders travelling this road carried silk, of course. They also carried and traded spices, cloth, valuable stones and gold.” 当然，在这条路上旅行的商人携带丝绸。他们还携带和交易香料、布、宝石和黄金。可知D项中tea茶没有提及，故选D。

【3】细节理解题。根据第二段“Some of these Romans married local Chinese women and the story of blue-eyed villages of China was started.”其中一些罗马人娶了当地的中国妇女，中国蓝眼睛村庄的故事开始了。可知是一些罗马士兵娶了一些中国妇女，他们是欧洲的士兵，故选C。

【4】推理判断题。根据第二段“The Silk Road allowed the sharing of valuable goods, stories, language, cultures and new ideas.”丝绸之路允许分享有价值的商品、故事、语言、文化和新思想。可知有价值的东西在丝绸之路上允许被销售。故A不正确。可知不同的语言也可以在丝绸之路上分享，但是没有提及沿着丝绸之路生活的古代中国人是否可以说不同的语言，故B错误。根据“the Silk Road allowed people from many different cultures and countries to meet each other and mix,”可知丝绸之路允许来自许多不同文化和国家的人相遇和融合，故C正确。根据最后一段“It has over 35,000 objects all from along the Silk Road.”它有超过35,000个物品，都来自丝绸之路。可知不一定是所有在酒泉博物馆的物品都来自丝绸之路。故D项不正确。故选C。
