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(huì)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(shí)候開始用鹽”，“什么時(shí)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(gè)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(shí)，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(dòng)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(duì)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?yàn)橥蝶}被投入監(jiān)獄�！薄耙�?yàn)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(huì)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(guó)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(guó)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(shí)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(píng)：閱讀本文時(shí)，首先應(yīng)該明白鹽的重要性，才會(huì)理解為什么在古代對(duì)鹽會(huì)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(huì)作者的意圖。要結(jié)合生活中的常識(shí)，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。
