【解析】考查让步状语从句。句意：即使警方认为他是最有可能的那个人，既然他们没有确切的证据，就不能逮捕他。A. Although尽管；B. As long as只要；C. If only要是……；D. As尽管。分析前后句可知，属于让步关系，而as作为“尽管”讲，引导的从句需把表语或者状语前置，故选A项。

A．Why; linking B．Why; linked
C．Although; linked D．Although; linking
【答案】D
【解析】考查让步状语从句和现在分词作定语。句意：虽然丝绸之路覆盖了经现在的西安通往中东和欧洲的很长一段距离，但是，一个特别地区与丝绸之路的名字有着最紧密地联系。根据句意可知，第一个空为让步状语从句；第二个空为定语修饰a huge distance，link与逻辑主语distance构成主谓关系，故应用现在分词作定语，表主动。故选D。
