答案：
85. learn 86. thousands 87. and
88. make 89. famous
90. of 91. picked 92. to 93. centers
94. both 95. just
答案解析：
85. learn。“learn something about...”表示“了解关于……的情况”，此处是邀请大家一起去了解新疆其他方面的事，符合语境，所以填“learn”。
86. thousands。“thousands of”是固定短语，意为“数千的，成千上万的”，用来修饰可数名词复数，这里表示在数千年间，符合文意，所以填“thousands”。
87. and。“between...and...”是固定搭配，表示“在……和……之间”，此处指东西方之间，所以填“and”。
88. make。“make sb./sth. do sth.”表示“使某人/某物做某事”，此处“it”指代“Muqam”，“make it pass down”意思是“使它传承下去”，符合语境，所以填“make”。
89. famous。“be famous for”是固定短语，意为“因……而闻名”，这里说新疆因长绒棉闻名，符合对新疆棉花的描述，所以填“famous”。
90. of。“because of”是固定短语，后接名词、代词或名词性短语等，表示“因为，由于”，此处接“its high quality”，说明原因，所以填“of”。
91. picked。根据“In the past”可知描述过去的动作，要用一般过去时，“pick cotton”表示“采摘棉花”，“pick”的过去式是“picked”，所以填“picked”。
92. to。“thanks to”是固定短语，意为“多亏，由于”，引出原因，此处指由于科技发展，符合文意，所以填“to”。
93. centers。“one of + 可数名词复数”表示“……之一”，“trade center”表示“贸易中心”，此处用复数形式“centers”，说明且末县是古代丝绸之路上重要的贸易中心之一，所以填“centers”。
94. both。“both...and...”表示“……和……都”，连接两个并列的成分，此处连接“culture”和“nature”，说明且末县在文化和自然方面都很丰富，所以填“both”。
95. just。“just”在此处可理解为“就，那就”，起到一种强调的作用，符合语境，意思是如果有机会就抓住它，所以填“just”。
