【解析】

試題分析：本文講述了鹽在古代的用途，以及在古代如果偷鹽會受到怎樣的懲罰，并且在古代通過鹽也能看出尊卑來。

1.根據(jù)題干，本句的意思“我們不知道人類什么時候開始用鹽”，“什么時候”是when。所以本題選A。

2.throughout是“貫穿”，though和although是“盡管”，thought是“思想”，根據(jù)題意，本句的意思是“但是我們知道在整個歷史中鹽有許多不同的用途�！彼�以本題選A。

3.根據(jù)題干，此處應(yīng)該是“據(jù)記載”的意思，而“據(jù)記載”是It’s recorded。所以本題選C。

4.根據(jù)three thousands years ago可知，本句應(yīng)是過去時，故用ate。所以本題選B。

5.根據(jù)題干，本句的意思是“鹽被用來保存尸體�！薄氨挥脕碜瞿呈隆笔莃e used to do。所以本題選B。

6.keep……from是“阻止某人或某物做某事”，是固定用法。所以本題選B。

7.根據(jù)前面的was可知，后面應(yīng)該用過去分詞表示被動語態(tài)，只有thought。所以本題選D。

8.通過閱讀下文可知，此處應(yīng)該是違反法律。故用law。所以本題選A。

9.根據(jù)if a person was caught stealing salt可知，對待罪犯的方式是將他投入監(jiān)獄。故用prison。所以本題選C。

10.根據(jù)題干，本句的意思是“一萬多人因為偷鹽被投入監(jiān)獄�！薄耙驗椤笔莃ecause或because of；根據(jù)stealing salt可知，應(yīng)該用because of。所以本題選B。

11.根據(jù)題干，應(yīng)該是帶更多的鹽會被懲罰。故用more。所以本題選A。

12.根據(jù)題干，本句的意思是“將被嚴(yán)重懲罰”，本空是修飾“懲罰”一詞，故用副詞。所以本題選D。

13.本句的意思是“過去鹽在國王的餐桌上是很重要的�！惫视胕mportant。所以本題選A。

14.根據(jù)題干，“它總是被放在國王的前面”。In the front of是在物體本身上的前部，in front of是“在物體前面”不附屬在物體上，而before一般表示時間之前。故用in front of。所以本題選C。

15.根據(jù)前句important visitors sat near the salt和后句less important visitors可知，兩者之間是轉(zhuǎn)折的關(guān)系，故用while“而，卻”。所以本題選D。

考點(diǎn)：本題考查故事類閱讀

點(diǎn)評：閱讀本文時，首先應(yīng)該明白鹽的重要性，才會理解為什么在古代對鹽會有這樣的規(guī)定。在完成本題是，應(yīng)充分閱讀文章，充分體會作者的意圖。要結(jié)合生活中的常識，進(jìn)行選詞，并且應(yīng)該注意區(qū)分一些詞的用法和英語中的固定搭配等。
