1．exported 考查过去分词。本句含有with复合结构，动词export和“finely carved jade (翡翠) and medicinal herbs”之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，应用过去分词形式，故填exported。
2．than 考查固定搭配。每个商人在丝绸之路的某一段路上交易货物，而不是走整个丝绸之路。rather than意为“而不是”，为固定搭配。
3．buying 考查现在分词。本句中buy和句子主语each merchant之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，应用现在分词形式作伴随状语，故填buying。
4．carried 考查动词的时态。根据本文时态可知，本文讲述的是过去发生的事，因此本句应用一般过去时，故填carried。
5．on 考查介词。have the greatest influence on表示“对……影响最大”，故填介词on。
6．eventually 考查副词。这里是说它(佛教)最终成为中国的主要信仰。本句中应用副词修饰动词became，故填eventually“最终”。
7．protection 考查名词。动词provided后应用名词作宾语，故填protection。
8．to rob 考查不定式。attempt意为“试图，企图”，后跟不定式作宾语，故填to rob。
9．a 考查冠词。丝绸之路不是单纯的一条路，而是一整套路线，通过这些路线货物在东西方之间运输。此处表示泛指，a whole collection of意为“一整套”，故填冠词a。
10．which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，本句中“by __10__ goods were transported between the East and the West”为“介词＋关系代词”引导的定语从句，空处为关系词，指代先行词“a whole collection of routes”，故填which。
