Read the magazine article about the Silk Road. Following the Silk Road Covering vast distances and an astonishing variety of landscapes, the Silk Road was a network of ancient trade routes that extended from East Asia all the way to the Mediterranean. 丝绸之路是从东亚一路延伸至地中海地区的古代贸易路网，绵延万里，沿途风光百变，令人惊叹。 East Asia东亚 the Mediterranean /ˌmedɪtəˈreɪniən/地中海地区 A key section of the extensive Silk Road network is the Chang’an-Tianshan Corridor, which stretches over a distance of around 5,000 kilometres through China, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, covering a total of 8,700 kilometres of trade routes. 长安—天山廊道是丝绸之路庞大路网的重要部分，贯穿中国、哈萨克斯坦和吉尔吉斯斯坦三国，覆盖约 5000 公里长的广大区域，涵盖贸易路网总里程达 8700 公里。 the Chang’an-Tianshan Corridor长安—天山廊道 Kazakhstan /ˌkæzəkˈstɑːn/哈萨克斯坦 Kyrgyzstan /ˌkɜːɡɪˈstɑːn/吉尔吉斯斯坦 trade route（旧时的）商队路线，商船航线 The three countries jointly pursued an application for UNESCO World Heritage status. They submitted the proposal which contained detailed research on the 33 sites along the corridor. 这三个国家共同就长安—天山廊道申报了联合国教科文组织世界遗产。它们提交了申报材料，其中包含了对廊道沿线 33 处遗迹的详细研究。 jointly/ˈdʒɔɪntli/共同地；连带地 de·tailed  /ˈdiːteɪld/ 详细的；细致的；精细的 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. 作为首例成功的跨国联合申遗项目，这次申报用它自己的方式创造了历史——而且这似乎只是丝绸之路申遗的前奏，因为其他路段都有相应国家正在筹备申遗。 make history/go down in history载入史册；青史留名；创造历史 multi·nation·al  /ˌmʌltiˈnæʃnəl/ 跨国的；涉及多国的；跨国公司 The starting point of the corridor and the entire Silk Road network is Chang’an (present-day Xi’an), in Shaanxi Province of north-west China. It was famous as the capital of the Han and Tang Dynasties. 廊道及整个丝绸之路路网的起始点是中国西北部陕西省内的长安（今西安）。长安以作为汉唐两朝的都城闻名。 starting point (旅行的)起点,出发点；~ (for sth)(讨论或过程的)起点，基础 Shaanxi /'ʃæn'ʃi:/陕西省 Further west on the Silk Road, the geography gradually changes from wild deserts to high, snow-capped mountains to vast grasslands as the routes pass through the splendid Tianshan Mountains and emerge in the rolling valleys of Central Asia. Although the Chang’an-Tianshan Corridor ends here, the network continues westwards until it reaches the Mediterranean. 沿丝绸之路往西，地形渐由荒漠变为冰雪覆盖的高山，又变为广阔的草原，道路穿过雄伟的天山，又在中亚地区蜿蜒起伏的山谷中显现。长安—天山廊道至此结束，但路网继续西延，直至地中海。 wild  /waɪld/天然的；荒凉的；荒芜的 roll·ing  /ˈrəʊlɪŋ/ adj.(丘陵或乡村 ) 起伏的;规则的；周而复始的 The Silk Road began to develop in the 2nd century BCE. △Assigned by the emperor,the ambassador Zhang Qian journeyed from Chang’an to Central Asia, seeking to build bridges between the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions. 丝绸之路自公元前 2 世纪开始开辟。使者张骞奉旨由长安城出发，长途跋涉至中亚地区，力求搭建汉朝和西域沟通的桥梁。经过他的努力，商路初具规模，当时主要强国间的关系也得到了巩固，路网甚至延伸到了罗马帝国。 jour·ney  /ˈdʒɜːni/ （尤指长途）旅行 Following Zhang’s efforts, trade routes took shape and relationships were strengthened between the major powers of the time, with the routes network reaching as far as the Roman Empire.

At its peak, many other items were contributed to the marketplace of goods. 丝绸之路发展之初，贸易产品主要是丝绸，因其重量轻而价值高。至丝绸之路鼎盛期，许多其他商品也被添加到贸易市场中。 item /ˈaɪtəm/ 一件商品（或物品） con·trib·ute (sth) to sth /kənˈtrɪbjuːt/ 增加；增进；添加(到某物) mar·ket·place  /ˈmɑːkɪtpleɪs/ 集市；市场;市场竞争 The routes were alive with strings of camels carrying loads of goods and traders selling everything imaginable.

Astronomy and mathematics were introduced to China from India and Arabia; in Gansu Province, the Mogao Caves, home to some of the finest examples of Buddhist art, reflected the eastward spread of Buddhism from India; important Chinese inventions such as papermaking and printing were first brought to the West through the network.

The addition of the Chang’an- Tianshan Corridor to the UNESCO World Heritage List is a milestone in recognition of the Silk Road as a crucial part of humanity’s common heritage. 来到当代，“一带一路”倡议提出后，丝绸之路再次将古老商路沿线的国家联结起来，推动着不同文明间的交流。长安—天山廊道被列入联合国教科文组织《世界遗产名录》，对认定丝绸之路为人类共同遗产的重要部分具有里程碑的意义。 rec·og·ni·tion  /ˌrekəɡˈnɪʃn/ 承认；认可 A. Write a summary of the article on the Silk Road. Use the following ideas to help you. •The overall introduction •The geography •The history •The trade and cultural exchanges •The significance Possible answer The Silk Road, which extended from East Asia to the Mediterranean, was a network of ancient trade routes. The 5,000-kilometre Chang’an-Tianshan Corridor is a key section of this network. The Silk Road passes through deserts, mountains, grasslands and valleys on its way westwards. In the 2nd century BCE, in the Han Dynasty, the Chang’an-Tianshan Corridor began to develop. The network remained in use until the 16th century, after experiencing a gradual expansion between the 6th and 14th centuries. At first, silk was the main item exported by China on the Silk Road, and then exports gradually included china and tea. Horses, wool, cotton and grapes were imported along the network. The network also served as a bridge for cultural exchange. Astronomy and mathematics were introduced to China, and so was Buddhism. Important Chinese inventions reached the West through the network. Through these routes, Eastern and Western civilizations were connected. Today,such exchanges are continuing with the Belt and Road Initiative. Overall, the Silk Road is a crucial part of humanity’s common heritage. B. The Silk Road Economic Belt initiative was first brought up in 2013. What impact is the initiative having on the countries along the Silk Road? The Silk Road Economic Belt initiative has assisted many countries in developing transport infrastructure. For example, in Kenya, China helped build the country’s Standard Gauge Railway (SGR). 标准轨距铁路 the Silk Road Economic Belt丝绸之路经济带 Kenya/ˈkenjə/肯尼亚（东非国家） gauge/ɡeɪdʒ/（铁道的）轨距；（火车的）轮距 This development is one of the most significant projects in Kenya since it became independent in 1963. The SGR facilitates local industries, as well as trade between Africa and China. Energy is another way the initiative has impacted countries along its path. A hydropower station project in Pakistan was approved and operated by a Chinese company. After its completion, it will generate enough electric power to provide for the Pakistani people’s daily use and also assist in the nation’s economic development. hydropower/ˈhaɪdrəʊˌpaʊə/水力发电 The initiative also promotes trade between the countries on its routes. For example,Kazakhstan, a landlocked country, struggles to grow vegetables because of its very cold weather. The Belt helps enhance cooperation between Kazakhstan and the north-western Chinese Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Kazakhstan/ˌkæzəkˈstɑːn/哈萨克斯坦 land·locked /ˈlændlɒkt/ 几乎（或完全）被陆地包围的；陆围的；内陆的 Uygur /ˈwiːɡ(ʊ)ə/维吾尔族；维吾尔人；维吾尔 They are thus able to do more cross-border trade in vegetables than before. The trade between Xinjiang and Kazakhstan not only provides the Kazakhs with their basic needs, but also generates mutual economic benefits for both the countries. cross-border  跨越国境的 Kazakh/kəˈzæk; ˈkæzæk/哈萨克人 mu·tual  /ˈmjuːtʃuəl/ 相互的；彼此的;共有的；共同的 $$
