Passage A   The Belt and Road: Linking the Whole World

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) was put forward by China in 2013. Over the past 13 years, great changes have taken place across more than 150 countries and 30 international organizations that take part in this project. People used to face many difficulties in cross-border trade and transport, but now everything has become much easier.

 

Years ago, it used to take weeks to send goods from China to European countries by sea or land. Many small businessmen dared not do foreign business because of high transport costs and slow delivery. But now, modern railways, highways and ports built under BRI connect Asia, Europe and Africa closely. The China-Europe freight trains are the most popular transport choice. A train only takes about 14 days to run from Yiwu to Spain, cutting more than half of the old transport time.

 

Besides convenient transport, BRI also helps people share technology and culture. China has built hospitals, schools and water factories in many developing countries. Local people used to lack medical care and good education, but now thousands of kids can receive free lessons, and sick villagers can get timely treatment. Farmers from different lands exchange planting skills online, making more kinds of fruits and vegetables available all year round.

 

What’s more, the win-win cooperation brings richer jobs for local people. Factories built with Chinese investment offer lots of work chances. Instead of only selling cheap raw materials, developing countries can now process products locally and make higher profits. The Belt and Road does not belong to one single country. It proves that all nations can develop better hand in hand through equal communication and mutual help.

11. When was the Belt and Road Initiative put forward?

A. In 2000.  B. In 2013.  C. In 2018.  D. In 2025.

12. How long does a China-Europe freight train take from Yiwu to Spain now?

A. About 14 days.  B. About one month.  C. Two weeks more than before.  D. Over one month.

13. Which of the following is the change of transport brought by BRI?

A. Goods can only be sent by sea now.

B. Transport time has been greatly shortened.

C. All trains can carry passengers instead of goods.

D. Transport costs become much higher than before.

14. What help does BRI offer to developing countries according to the text?

A. Only large shopping malls are built.

B. Hospitals, schools and water projects are constructed.

C. All local people can travel to China for free.

D. It stops all cross-border farm trade.

15. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. China only makes money from foreign countries via BRI.

B. The Belt and Road brings convenient transport and shared development worldwide.

C. Freight trains are the only useful product of the Belt and Road.

D. Developing countries fully depend on China’s help.

Passage B   A Village's Journey to a Better Life

Twenty years ago, Mr Yan and Ms Wu lived in a small village in southern China. Life was very different then. Most young people used to work in big cities because there were few job opportunities at home. The roads were narrow and rough, making it difficult to transport goods.
