教材原文
Following the Silk Road
Covering vast distances and an astonishing variety of①landscapes,the Silk Road was a network of ancient trade routes that extended from East Asia all the way②to the Mediterranean.A key section of the extensive Silk Road network is the Chang'anTianshan Corridor③,which stretches over④a distance of around 5,000 kilometres through China,Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan,covering a total of⑤8,700 kilometres of trade routes.The three countries jointly pursued⑥an application for UNESCO World Heritage status.They submitted⑦the proposal which contained detailed research on the 33 sites along the corridor.This made history in its own way as the first successful multinational World Heritage application—and it seems to be only the beginning of the road for the Silk Road,as other countries are also planning World Heritage applications for other sections of the network.
