Today we see writing all around us. We would be    16   without writing.

          19     writing existed, drawings were used as a form of      20    .

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

                                   A

    University Shotokan Karate Club

      Learn Karate—self-defense and fitness

      The University Karate Club was founded in 1962. All grades from beginners to advanced are welcome. The classes are suitable for both men and women and several women have obtained their black belt.

      FIRST LESSON FREE

      Hardly any of us have experienced real violence, but, over the last few years, attacks on innocent people have increased. Each of us has some ability to defend ourselves, and by learning a form of self-defence, we are not only increasing that ability, but also doing something to build our own sense of respect. Karate will show you a lot of simple and effective techniques to protect yourself, giving you increase self-confidence.

      Far too many people think martial arts（武术）are about violence. Martial arts training is based on a lot of respect, self-discipline, self-control and non-violence. We learn basic etiquette(礼节), courtesy （礼貌） and tolerance. Good manners and consideration for others are expected at all times.

      Karate is the practice of blocking and striking techniques for the purpose of self-defence, health and self-development. Karate exercises the entire body. Techniques are practised on both sides of the body, therefore muscle imbalances do not occur and the strength, coordination, flexibility and agility of both sides of the body are improved. Regular training in Karate improves the body’s physical endurance and flexibility. It also helps concentration and produces the mental calm and assurance that come from knowing we can defend ourselves.

      Karate has many benefits but they do not come easily or overnight. Training requires ongoing commitment and hard work. Some of you will give up, but a few of you will get your black belt.

A. It cultivates people's respect for themselves as well as for others.

B. It involves people's arm muscles more than body muscles.

    Imagine a relay race. During this race, an athlete holds a stick as he runs a certain distance. Then he passes the stick to the next runner. That person runs faster, and then passes the stick to a third runner. Now imagine that the runners do not pass a stick. Instead they pass shiny silk, as well as gold, fruit, and glass. Imagine that the race does not move forward in just one direction. Instead the runners go back and forth along a road. They trade goods all along this route (路线) and at each end of it. Now imagine that the runners are businessmen. They lead caravans (商队) or lines of camels that carry things to sell. They travel on the ancient Silk Road to earn their living.

    The Silk Road was a complex trade network. It passed through thousands of cities and towns. It stretched from eastern China, across central Asia and the Middle east, to the Mediterranean Sea. Businessmen traveled on the Silk Road from about 200 B.C. to about 1300 A.D.. Then sea travel began to offer new routes. Some people called the Silk Road the world’s longest highway. However, the Silk Road included many routes --- not just one smooth path. The routes ran through mountains and across deserts. They passed through an area that now includes 18 countries. The Silk Road had many dangers. These dangers ranged from hot sun and deep snow to thieves and wars. Only expert traders could survive.

    The Silk Road got its name from its most prized goods. People used silk as money. They could pay taxes or buy goods with it. Traders carried more than just silk, though. They had gold, silver, and glass from Europe. People in the Middle East and Asia wanted these things. Businessmen also took horses from flat, grassy areas in central Asia and brought them to China and other areas. The horses changed the way people farmed and ran their armies. Indian businessmen traded salt and rare, beautiful stones. Chinese merchants traded medicine and china. They also traded paper, which quickly replaced animal skins in the west. Businessmen carried apples from central Asia to Rome. The Chinese had learned to combine different trees to create new kinds of fruit. They taught this science to others, such as the Romans. The Romans began to grow apples for food. The Silk Road led to worldwide commerce 2,000 years before the World Wide Web.

    The people along the Silk Road did not share only goods. They also shared beliefs. Monks, priests, and other faith leaders taught their religions to others. The Silk Road created pathways for knowledge, diplomacy, and religion.

41. People turned to the sea for new routes after around 1300 A.D. because _____.

A. the Silk Road included many routes

B. the Silk Road passed through many areas

C. people traveled on the Silk Road for too long

D. there were more dangers along the Silk Road

42. Which of the following is closest to the meaning of the word “prized” in paragraph 3?

A. Influential B. Private C. Valuable D. Useful

43. Which of the following statements is WRONG?

A. The Silk Road helped spread religions to more people.

B. The Silk Road gave people the idea to build highways.

C. Some people probably died while travelling.

D. Westerners probably used to write on animal skins.

44. It can be inferred from the passage that ____.

A. silk Road was built by China.

B. there used to be deaths along the path

C. trade went along with religion

D. many apple trees used to grow along the path

45. In which column of a newspaper can we most probably read the article?

A. Science. B. Travel. C. Sports. D. Culture.

                                       C

      Culture is a way to bring harmony to society via exchange of knowledge and thoughts, and also the respect of others' belief and cultural heritage. Before I came to China to study business, my only information about the country was what I had read in our school books, TV shows on Pakistan national TV, and Chinese movies.

      But once I arrived in China, my view changed. China has made great leaps in development, keeping a strong link to their ancestors' heritage, hard work and courage. The announcement of the Belt and Road Initiative (倡议) (BRI) by President Xi Jinping in 2013 has provided trade opportunities for participating countries, and can also be a meeting place for the exchange of ideas, thoughts, knowledge and culture.

      Being a combination of diverse cultural and traditional systems, the BRI promotes harmony, and through the heritage of the Silk Road, these diversified cultures can treat one another with respect and exist together peacefully. China can play a leading role to maximize identity, cohesion (凝聚力) and creativity of the diverse cultures, nations and people to combine resources along the belt and road and ensure all the countries involved receive mutual (相互的) benefit.

      International students coming to China and Chinese students going abroad for studies are cultural ambassadors. They learn the language, local customs, arts and exchange thoughts. The BRI is a chance for the Chinese dream to become reality. China has a lot to share with the BRI countries. China has a rising number of Chinese language learners around the world. Confucius Institutes are non-profit public institutions affiliated with the Chinese Ministry of Education whose stated aim is to promote Chinese language and culture, support local Chinese teaching internationally and facilitate cultural exchanges. As of 2014, there were over 480 Confucius Institutes in dozens of countries on six continents. The Ministry of Education estimates 100 million people overseas are learning Chinese, and the program is expanding rapidly and aims to establish 1, 000 Confucius Institutes by 2020. These institutes are playing an important role for local students to learn Chinese, meaning more job opportunities for BRI projects.

      Since ancient times, the Silk Road culture has supported diversity. Accordingly, China needs to maintain relationships with the countries of the ancient Silk Road civilization.

      A discussion meeting on how to better carry out the BRI Cultural Development Action Plan was held in Beijing by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Through cooperation and exchanges between countries, the BRI can revitalize (振兴) traditional Silk Road culture by opening up overseas markets, introducing advanced ideas to every participating country.

46. The change in the author's understanding of China corresponds with the saying, "__________".

A. Seeing is believing.

B. Actions speak louder than words.

C. One is never too old to learn.

D. There is no royal road to learning.

47. From the passage, we can draw a conclusion that all the BRI countries __________.

A. will remove cultural barriers

B. may achieve a win-win result

C. will join hands in resource protection

D. may keep peace with other countries

48. Why are so many people outside China learning Chinese?

A. To acquire more knowledge about China today.

B. To communicate with Chinese-speaking people.

C. To gain benefit from the Belt and Road Initiative.

D. To serve as cultural ambassadors in BRI countries.

49. The countries along the Silk Road __________.

A. need to restore their ancient civilization via the BRI

B. have a long tradition of respecting different countries

C. will spread their traditional culture to other countries

D. are eager to exchange advanced ideas with each other

50. According to the passage, what do you know about Confucius Institutes except that _______.

A. it’s a non-profit public institution affiliated by the Chinese Ministry of Education

B. it can promote Chinese language and culture

C. it supports local Chinese teaching internationally and facilitate cultural exchanges

D. it supplies more job opportunities for BRI projects
