Getting cultural relics back is difficult. Take China for example. It has lost many relics but has only got back a few. Why is it so hard?
Lost relics are very important to their home-countries because they are part of their history and culture. Keeping relics that were taken illegally (非法的) hurts the people of the original (原来的) country and goes against today’s rules for protecting cultural heritage (遗产).
Returning cultural relics is a way to fix past wrongs. But it requires admitting (承认) those wrongs, which rarely (极少) happens. This leads to legal fights over who owns the relics.
According to King & Wood Mallesons, legal problems make it hard to get relics back. Laws often don’t cover past actions, making it difficult to take action on them. Also, the longer relics stay abroad, the more likely the present owners are protected by local laws, making it more challenging for the original owners to get them back.
Another big problem, according to CCTV, is that foreign museums are independent. They often depend on private money, so governments can’t force them to give back relics.
When relics are smuggled across borders (跨境走私), getting them back is even more difficult. For example, about 30 years ago, some Chinese relics were smuggled into the UK through Hong Kong. Since the smuggling didn’t happen in the UK, the smugglers couldn’t be criminally prosecuted (刑事起诉). There Only a long-civil lawsuit (民事诉讼) could help. By 1998, as the talks stopped because one buyer wouldn’t communicate, and 68 relics stayed with British police. In 2020, the UK finally offered to return the relics to China after they couldn’t find the buyer and the lawsuit ran out of time, reported by CCTV.
4. What is the influence of keeping illegally-taken relics?
A. It widens the gap between the rich and the poor.
B. It pushes a country to improve its laws.
C. It causes cultural loss to the original country.
5. According to Paragraph 4, what makes the return of lost cultural relics difficult?
A. The continued illegal trade of cultural relics.
B The limits of laws in dealing with cases about relics.
C. The challenges of finding the original owners.
6. How did China take back the 68 relics according to the last paragraph?
A. By winning a long civil lawsuit.
B. By communicating with the buyers.
C. By having them returned by the UK.
7. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Laws around the world that protect cultural relics.
B. Challenges in getting back lost cultural relics.
C. Reasons why some countries refuse to return lost cultural relics.
C
Imagine living in a city where you take self-driving taxis or buses to school. On the way, you see self-driving street sweepers cleaning the streets. WeRide, a top Chinese company in self-driving technology, is making this possible.
WeRide makes self-driving products including Robotaxi, Robobus, Robovan, Robosweeper, and driver-assistance systems. However, “the key technology is the same for all,” said Maeve Zhang, WeRide’s PR and Marketing director (公关和营销总监).
WeRide turns “sensor suites (传感器套件)” into “building blocks” for different vehicles. “We mix and match these blocks to create each product,” said Zhang. “It’s hard to build the platform (平台) at first, but then we can reuse it quickly.”
After “copying” the sensor suites to different products, WeRide focuses more on each product’s needs. For example, when they designed autonomous buses, they saved space for seats to hold more people. But for vans (厢式货车), they tried to give more room for things. Zhang said that it takes a long time for autonomous cars to make money. This is because policy and technology need time to develop. Thanks to the universal technology, WeRide’s products can quickly be put into use. For example, Robosweeper started to run in Guangzhou early in 2022.
WeRide is also “a leader among Chinese autonomous driving companies when it comes to going abroad,” said Zhang. It has driverless permits (许可证) in China, the UAE, Singapore and the US. It is the only company in the industry with permits in all these places.
However there are still many challenges. WeRide continues to improve its self-driving services to deal with “corner cases”, said Zhang. “Corner cases” are situations that don’t often happen, like sudden meetings with cats and flying plastic bags. “We are working on training algorithms (算法) to make them better deal with special situations,” Zhang said.
8. What does WeRide mainly do?
A. Design public transportation systems.
B. Help other companies develop self-driving technology.
C. Create self-driving products and driver-assistance systems.
9. According to Maeve Zhang, how does WeRide make different products?
A. By using smart building blocks.
B. By sharing key technology on a platform.
C. By mixing and matching sensor suites.
10. Why can’t autonomous cars make money quickly?
A. The cost of self-driving products is very high.
B. It takes time for policy and technology to progress. There are still no autonomous products in use.
C. There are still no autonomous products in use.
11. How is WeRide working to improve its self-driving vehicles?
A. By making them better at dealing with unexpected situations.
B. By training algorithms to make them fly in the air.
C. By testing its new vehicles in different countries.

Imagine living in a city where you take self-driving taxis or buses to school. On the way, you see self-driving street sweepers cleaning the streets. WeRide, a top Chinese company in self-driving technology, is making this possible.
WeRide makes self-driving products including Robotaxi, Robobus, Robovan, Robosweeper, and driver-assistance systems. However, “the key technology is the same for all,” said Maeve Zhang, WeRide’s PR and Marketing director (公关和营销总监).
WeRide turns “sensor suites (传感器套件)” into “building blocks” for different vehicles. “We mix and match these blocks to create each product,” said Zhang. “It’s hard to build the platform (平台) at first, but then we can reuse it quickly.”
After “copying” the sensor suites to different products, WeRide focuses more on each product’s needs. For example, when they designed autonomous buses, they saved space for seats to hold more people.
