The BRI has brought cultures together for over ten years. As the BRI continues to bring the world together, young people from the Belt and Road countries can see how it continues to develop and have a deeper understanding of it. We did a survey of 125 Chinese students. The following survey is about BRI in the eyes of the students. The diagrams (图表) below show the results. How much do you know about the BRI? Where did you learn about the BRI? Diagram Ⅰ    Diagram Ⅱ What stories and reports about the BRI do you know about?

Running 1,035 kilometers, it connects Kunming with Laos’ capital Vientiane. It started operation on Dec 3, 2021. The China-Laos Railway had transported over 100,000 cross-border passengers, reported Xinhua. ③According to Xinhua, Liu Jin, one of the first passengers of the railway, had used to travel to Laos eight times, usually by bus and the journey lasted more than 27 hours on winding mountain roads. Now, the travel time between the cities has been shortened to 9 hours and 26 minutes. ④However, the China-Laos Railway isn’t the only China-supported railway bringing benefits to people in Belt and Road countries. The 142.3-kilometer-long Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway (HSR) has been officially in operation since Oct 2, 2023. Being a flagship project of the BRI, it is also the first overseas construction project that fully uses Chinese railway systems, technology and industrial components (零件). ⑤ “Across Indonesia, people from more than 17,000 islands now come to Jakarta to take the high-speed rail,” Chen Xianmou, a Chinese-Indonesian, proudly told China Daily at the railway station. “It’s not only a landmark of Indonesia but also a representation of China’s tech power,” he added. ⑥Besides building railroads, China also plans to exchange the technology to Indonesia to help the local people to operate the high-speed railway system on their own in the coming years. To achieve this goal, China has trained more than 45,000 Indonesian technicians, reported China Daily. 6．How does the author start the passage? A．By asking a question. B．By using a saying.

Its reach extends to some 4.4 billion people, around 65% of the world’s population. Modern and groundbreaking in its global outlook the Belt and Road is actually deeply rooted in history, with the ancient Silk Road dating back more than 2,500 years when camel trains transported everything from spices to silk between East and West. Today those camels have been replaced by thousands of planes, trains and ships, with trade volume (贸易额) between China and its Belt and Road partners hitting $6 trillion in the past five years. Trains can now travel 12,000 kilometers from Yiwu to London faster than ships. Connecting a huge range of cultures, languages, and people of diverse backgrounds, the Belt and Road Initiative is also a major platform for cultural exchanges. About 60000 African students are taking courses in Chinese universities up from just 2,008 in 2003. By April 15,2019 126 nations and 29 international organizations had signed Belt and Road cooperation (合作) documents with China. So how does a project as huge and international as the BRI work? It’s all about cooperation and dialogue. Every two years, the Belt and Road Forum (论坛) for International Cooperation (BRF) is held, providing forums and meetings for thousands of delegates (代表) from all around the world, to discuss progress and moving forwards In 2017, the first-ever BRF was held in Beijing. 29 national leaders and more than 1,600 participants (参与者) attended that event, the biggest of its kind under the Belt and Road framework. More than 270 concrete results were achieved in five key areas, namely policy, infrastructure trade, finance and people-to-people connectivity. This April, the second forum took place in Beijing again. This time, there were many more participants than the previous one, with thousands of delegates from over 100 countries and international organizations attended. 10．The BRI is a huge and national project. 11．Over 25 centuries ago, camels were trained to carry things along the ancient Silk Road instead of planes, trains and ships. 12．The number of African students studying in China is increasing slowly now. 13．The BRI is a project about dialogue and cooperation. 14．According to the report, there will be more and more participants to attend the BRF in the future. 4 The Silk Road is a historically important international trade route between China and the Mediterranean Sea（地中海）. It began during the Western Han Dynasty and has been a bridge between East and West for over 2, 000 years. The ancient road started from Chang’an (now Xi’an)and ended in Eastern Europe, near today’s Turkey and the Mediterranean Sea. It was about 6, 500kilometers long and went across one-fourth of the planet. The Silk Road got its name in the 19th century because Chinese silk used to be carried along this road. Silk, jade, ceramics and iron went west to Rome. And from the West came glass, gems and food like carrots. The Silk Road was very important to both China and the rest of the world. It was more than an ancient international trade route. Besides trade, knowledge about arts, science and literature, as well crafts and technologies was shared across the Silk Road. In this way, languages and cultures developed and influenced each other. Today, China is trying to build the “21st Century Marine（海洋的）Silk Road”. With the help of APEC held in Beijing in November 2014, the dream of the One Belt One Road（the “Silk Road Economic Belt” and “21st Century Marine Silk Road”）（一带一路）is coming true. 15．The underlined word “route” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________. A．方式 B．路线 C．成就 D．关系 16．When did the Silk Road begin? A．In the 19th century . B．In the 18th century. C．During the Western Han Dynasty. D．In the Eastern Dynasty. 17．How long was the ancient Silk Road? A．It was about 6, 500meters long. B．It was about 5, 0000 kilometers long. C．It went across one-third of the planet. D．It went across one-fourth of the planet. 18．Why was it named the Silk Road? A．Because Chinese silk was carried along this road. B．Because Chinese silk was produced along this road. C．Because things were traded from market to market along the road. D．Because the ancient traders bought and sold things along the road. 19．It can be inferred from this passage that ________. A．the Silk Road was the only an ancient international trade route B．many new silk roads have been built by the Chinese government so far C．the Silk Road was a very important line of communication connecting East and West D．the Silk Road prevented the development of languages and cultures between East and West 5 Xi’an China Xi’an is no doubt one of the most popular tourist attractions in China. Every year, millions of travellers visit the Terracotta Army (兵马俑) of Emperor Qin Shihuang, which is one of the most amazing historic sites in the world. As one of China’s great former capitals, Xi’an grew to be the largest city in the world during the Tang Dynasty, a golden age of art and poetry. Chang’an, as it was known at the time, was the starting point of the Silk Road, which connected China to the world. It was here that Xuan Zang set out on his famous travels, which became the basis of Journey to the West. Historic sites from that time include the two Wild Goose Pagodas and the remains of the Daming Palace, which was the centre of the Tang court (朝廷). Today, Xi’an is a modern city, at the heart of China’s Belt and Road initiative (倡议), but its long history can be seen everywhere: it is one of the few cities in the world that still have city walls. The wall, almost 14 kilometres long, was originally built for guarding against danger, but nowadays, it’s a great way to experience Xi’an: from here, you can get an amazing view of the city. Florence Italy Florence, one of the famous historic cities in Italy, is the birthplace of many amazing ideas and discoveries! Florence’s history is alive with the memory of a time when art, culture and science were being reborn. In the late 13th century, the Renaissance (文艺复兴) began here before spreading to the rest of Europe. At that time, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo were some of the people living, working and studying in Florence. During this period, they along with other great minds, contributed valuable artworks and made important scientific discoveries. Florence is filled with art, science and history museums and ancient buildings, as well as historic universities. You can visit many of these places to experience and admire the amazing work and discoveries that happened during the Renaissance period. An example is Michelangelo’s famous statue David, which he completed between 1501 and 1504. Another must-see is the University of Florence. It was started in 1321 and many famous people studied there in the Renaissance period. In Florence today you can experience the old and the new. Historic sites are neighbours with fancy restaurants and high-end shops. While you are trying the delicious local food, you can decide which interesting places to visit next. 20．According to the passage, what can we know about two cities?

They see it as a mysterious country full of pyramids (金字塔) and ancient curses (诅咒). But in fact, Egypt has made many contributions to today’s world throughout its long and rich history. One of these contributions is a style of writing known as hieroglyphs(象形文字). Egyptians wrote with characters that looked like people, animals and objects. Some experts believe that hieroglyphs are like ancient Chinese characters. Another Egyptian marvel (奇迹) is the Suez Canal (苏伊士运河), which was built in the 19th century. This waterway shortens the journey from the North Atlantic to the Indian Ocean. It has made worldwide maritime trade a lot easier. It’s perhaps this spirit of open trade that connects China and Egypt the most. The countries already enjoy a strong trade relationship. Since 2014, China has been Egypt’s largest trade partner. There are Chinese products in almost every Egyptian home, from toys to clothes. Many people there enjoy watching Chinese TV shows. More students are starting to learn the Chinese language, the Xinhua News Agency reported. And Egypt’s participation (参与) in China’s Belt and Road Initiative will make their ties even stronger.

Running 1,035 kilometers, it connects Kunming with Laos’ capital Vientiane. It started operation on Dec 3, 2021. The China-Laos Railway had transported over 100,000 cross-border passengers, reported Xinhua. ③According to Xinhua, Liu Jin, one of the first passengers of the railway, had used to travel to Laos eight times, usually by bus and the journey lasted more than 27 hours on winding mountain roads. Now, the travel time between the cities has been shortened to 9 hours and 26 minutes. ④However, the China-Laos Railway isn’t the only China-supported railway bringing benefits to people in Belt and Road countries. The 142.3-kilometer-long Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway (HSR) has been officially in operation since Oct 2, 2023. Being a flagship project of the BRI, it is also the first overseas construction project that fully uses Chinese railway systems, technology and industrial components (零件). ⑤ “Across Indonesia, people from more than 17,000 islands now come to Jakarta to take the high-speed rail,” Chen Xianmou, a Chinese-Indonesian, proudly told China Daily at the railway station. “It’s not only a landmark of Indonesia but also a representation of China’s tech power,” he added. ⑥Besides building railroads, China also plans to exchange the technology to Indonesia to help the local people to operate the high-speed railway system on their own in the coming years.

Its reach extends to some 4.4 billion people, around 65% of the world’s population. Modern and groundbreaking in its global outlook the Belt and Road is actually deeply rooted in history, with the ancient Silk Road dating back more than 2,500 years when camel trains transported everything from spices to silk between East and West. Today those camels have been replaced by thousands of planes, trains and ships, with trade volume (贸易额) between China and its Belt and Road partners hitting $6 trillion in the past five years. Trains can now travel 12,000 kilometers from Yiwu to London faster than ships. Connecting a huge range of cultures, languages, and people of diverse backgrounds, the Belt and Road Initiative is also a major platform for cultural exchanges. About 60000 African students are taking courses in Chinese universities up from just 2,008 in 2003. By April 15,2019 126 nations and 29 international organizations had signed Belt and Road cooperation (合作) documents with China. So how does a project as huge and international as the BRI work? It’s all about cooperation and dialogue. Every two years, the Belt and Road Forum (论坛) for International Cooperation (BRF) is held, providing forums and meetings for thousands of delegates (代表) from all around the world, to discuss progress and moving forwards In 2017, the first-ever BRF was held in Beijing. 29 national leaders and more than 1,600 participants (参与者) attended that event, the biggest of its kind under the Belt and Road framework. More than 270 concrete results were achieved in five key areas, namely policy, infrastructure trade, finance and people-to-people connectivity. This April, the second forum took place in Beijing again. This time, there were many more participants than the previous one, with thousands of delegates from over 100 countries and international organizations attended. 10．The BRI is a huge and national project. 11．Over 25 centuries ago, camels were trained to carry things along the ancient Silk Road instead of planes, trains and ships. 12．The number of African students studying in China is increasing slowly now. 13．The BRI is a project about dialogue and cooperation. 14．According to the report, there will be more and more participants to attend the BRF in the future. 4 The Silk Road is a historically important international trade route between China and the Mediterranean Sea（地中海）. It began during the Western Han Dynasty and has been a bridge between East and West for over 2, 000 years. The ancient road started from Chang’an (now Xi’an)and ended in Eastern Europe, near today’s Turkey and the Mediterranean Sea. It was about 6, 500kilometers long and went across one-fourth of the planet. The Silk Road got its name in the 19th century because Chinese silk used to be carried along this road. Silk, jade, ceramics and iron went west to Rome. And from the West came glass, gems and food like carrots. The Silk Road was very important to both China and the rest of the world. It was more than an ancient international trade route. Besides trade, knowledge about arts, science and literature, as well crafts and technologies was shared across the Silk Road. In this way, languages and cultures developed and influenced each other. Today, China is trying to build the “21st Century Marine（海洋的）Silk Road”. With the help of APEC held in Beijing in November 2014, the dream of the One Belt One Road（the “Silk Road Economic Belt” and “21st Century Marine Silk Road”）（一带一路）is coming true. 15．The underlined word “route” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.

A．the Silk Road was the only an ancient international trade route B．many new silk roads have been built by the Chinese government so far C．the Silk Road was a very important line of communication connecting East and West D．the Silk Road prevented the development of languages and cultures between East and West 5 Xi’an China Xi’an is no doubt one of the most popular tourist attractions in China. Every year, millions of travellers visit the Terracotta Army (兵马俑) of Emperor Qin Shihuang, which is one of the most amazing historic sites in the world. As one of China’s great former capitals, Xi’an grew to be the largest city in the world during the Tang Dynasty, a golden age of art and poetry. Chang’an, as it was known at the time, was the starting point of the Silk Road, which connected China to the world. It was here that Xuan Zang set out on his famous travels, which became the basis of Journey to the West. Historic sites from that time include the two Wild Goose Pagodas and the remains of the Daming Palace, which was the centre of the Tang court (朝廷). Today, Xi’an is a modern city, at the heart of China’s Belt and Road initiative (倡议), but its long history can be seen everywhere: it is one of the few cities in the world that still have city walls. The wall, almost 14 kilometres long, was originally built for guarding against danger, but nowadays, it’s a great way to experience Xi’an: from here, you can get an amazing view of the city. Florence Italy Florence, one of the famous historic cities in Italy, is the birthplace of many amazing ideas and discoveries! Florence’s history is alive with the memory of a time when art, culture and science were being reborn. In the late 13th century, the Renaissance (文艺复兴) began here before spreading to the rest of Europe. At that time, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo were some of the people living, working and studying in Florence. During this period, they along with other great minds, contributed valuable artworks and made important scientific discoveries. Florence is filled with art, science and history museums and ancient buildings, as well as historic universities. You can visit many of these places to experience and admire the amazing work and discoveries that happened during the Renaissance period. An example is Michelangelo’s famous statue David, which he completed between 1501 and 1504. Another must-see is the University of Florence. It was started in 1321 and many famous people studied there in the Renaissance period. In Florence today you can experience the old and the new. Historic sites are neighbours with fancy restaurants and high-end shops. While you are trying the delicious local food, you can decide which interesting places to visit next. 20．According to the passage, what can we know about two cities?

They see it as a mysterious country full of pyramids (金字塔) and ancient curses (诅咒). But in fact, Egypt has made many contributions to today’s world throughout its long and rich history. One of these contributions is a style of writing known as hieroglyphs(象形文字). Egyptians wrote with characters that looked like people, animals and objects. Some experts believe that hieroglyphs are like ancient Chinese characters. Another Egyptian marvel (奇迹) is the Suez Canal (苏伊士运河), which was built in the 19th century. This waterway shortens the journey from the North Atlantic to the Indian Ocean. It has made worldwide maritime trade a lot easier. It’s perhaps this spirit of open trade that connects China and Egypt the most. The countries already enjoy a strong trade relationship. Since 2014, China has been Egypt’s largest trade partner. There are Chinese products in almost every Egyptian home, from toys to clothes. Many people there enjoy watching Chinese TV shows. More students are starting to learn the Chinese language, the Xinhua News Agency reported. And Egypt’s participation (参与) in China’s Belt and Road Initiative will make their ties even stronger.
