The Silk Road is the name of different roads that long ago connected Europe, Africa and Asia. People reached these different places along these roads. Scientists believe people began to travel
the Silk Road about 3000 years ago. By the time the Chinese silk trad e became important in the
world. The Silk Road covered almost 6500 kilometers. It went from Rome to China, which is from the West to the Far East.
Merchants travelled along the Silk Road to carry silk, of course. They also carried and traded
other things like spices (香料), cloth, jewels and gold.
Along and around these ancient path(小路), have come many fascinating and mysterious stories.
It is said that Roman soldiers who lost a war travelled through central Asia. They decided to
live somewhere near the ancient Chinese villages. Some of these Romans married local Chinese
women and the legend of the blond-haired, blue-eyed tribes of China was started.
Some historians believe that the people of Kashmir were taken away from their country
Israel. They were prisoners (俘虏) of war almost 2800 years ago. People say that these people
travelled along the Silk Road. They kept their Jewish way of life for a long time.
During its busiest period, the Silk Road allowed people from many different cultures and
countries to meet each other and mix. The Silk Road allowed the sharing of valuable things and new ideas. It included people and trading goods from different areas. All these peoples travelled the Silk Road. And they shared goods, stories, languages, and cultures.
In modern times, the old Silk Road routes (路线) are still used, but now they are crossed by
trains instead of camels and horses. There is even silk route museum in Jiuquan in China. It
has over 35, 000 objects from all along the Silk Road. In this way, China protects the history of
many countries and peoples.

Have you noticed your life becoming a little easier? Now, when you go to a certain shopping mall, you can enjoy its free Wi-Fi there. When you want to take a taxi, you can book one with your phone. In fact, all these can be seen as the basic parts of a smart city.
The idea of a smart city was brought up by US company IBM in 2010. Generally, a smart city is a city that uses digital technologies such as the Internet to improve city planning, save money and resources, and make our life convenient. How smart can a city be? Here are great examples that we can learn from.
In 2009, Dubuque became the first smart city in the US. The city used smart water meters to take the place of traditional water meters. They can detect (探测) water waste and leakage (泄漏) and send data to let the house owner know. The same system is used for other city resources like electricity and natural gas. This way, people know how they use their resources and are glad to help reduce waste.
Santander in Spain also gives us a look at the future. If people point a phone toward a nearby bus stop, the phone immediately shows all bus lines that serve the stop as well as their arrival times. The government organized a research team and provided an App (应用程序) that collects data on almost everything: light, temperature, and the movements of cars and people. Opening the App near a supermarket provides immediate information on special offers.

11. According to the passage, which of the following is RIGHT?
A. Digital technologies are used in smart cities.

13. Compared to traditional water meters, smart water meters do better in _____.
A. cleaning water B. supplying water C. saving water D. producing water
14. The example of Santander shows the use of smart systems in aspects (方面) EXCEPT___.
A. business B. health care C. traffic controlling D. public transportation
15. What’s the main idea of the passage?

Is your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair or your fridge? It is possible that they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, as the so-called “Internet of things” is developing.
The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. It is reported that during his speech earlier this year, Samsung CEO (首席执行官) BK Yoon spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things. He said that five years from now, every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things, whether it’s a washing machine or a vacuum cleaner (吸尘器).
So, how do household (家用) objects that are part of Internet of things work? Well, think of a usual chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows that the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.
An Internet-connected camera, like a smart-home camera, could help people feel safer in their homes. It can recognize (识别) people’s faces, and even can see when someone passes by in the dark. Then it can send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who’s there. If the person is someone you don’t know, it can tell you that, too.
But according to MIT Technology Review, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security (安全) systems to the Internet, there may be problems. For example, many early connected-home devices (装置) don’t have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked (被黑客攻击). In addition, it could be difficult to get these devices to work together because they are made by different companies. To fight this, many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 members by late 2014.
So, picture this: you walk in through the front door of your home. The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable after a long day at school. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? It may happen sooner than you think.
16. Where can we find the passage?
novel B. science technology c. news D. fiction

A. the Internet of things will appear in our daily life sooner
B. Samsung has produced the Internet of things recently

18. We can infer (推断) from paragraphs 3 and 4 that _____.
A.the chair can know whether the user feels cold or not
B. usual chair can warm up when it knows the user comes in
C. an Internet-connected camera can be used to take photos in the house
D. an Internet-connected camera can be connected to the user’s smartphone
19.According to the passage, it is mentioned that _____.
① the temperature inside is neither too high nor too low
② your fridge provides the drinks for you ③ the chair warms up if you feel cold
④ your favourite music starts playing ⑤your washing machine starts working
A. ①②⑤ B. ②③④ C. ①③④ D. ①④⑤
20. What’s the problem about the Internet of things?

B. Connected-home devices may not work together and can easily get hacked.
C. Companies have difficulty connecting security system to the Internet.
D. These new devices are produced by different companies.

They say that “ travel is the best teacher” and there is no better example of this idea than the Ming Dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake(1587-1641). His book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake, not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the country’s land and geography.
Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted to travel. When he was 18, however, Xu’s father died and so, it seemed, did his travelling dreams. He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60-year-old mother as tradition required.
But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son’s love of travel and valuing the knowledge he could get from such experiences, this modern-thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work.
So at the age of twenty and with his mother’s support, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind not only his mother but his new wife as well. He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years. During this time, he travelled throughout the Ming Dynasty, carefully studying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary. This diary, which once had over 500,000 words, would eventually become The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake.
Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. Many of his trips were to hard-to-reach mountain areas, and through wild forests where new people lived. His willingness to face hardships came at a cost, however. Progress was slow and tiring and he was frequently sick, robbed and beaten during his journeys.
Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey, a 4-year trip through the southwest of China. He died in 1641, soon after returning to his hometown for the last time. When his diary was finally printed years after his death, much of it had been destroyed or lost. Although incomplete, it still made Xu a travelling legend around the world.
( )21. What is the passage mainly about?
The general details of Xu Xiake’s life story.
The difficulties Xu Xiake faced in his travels.
The important discoveries made by Xu Xiake.
The influence of Xu’s book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake.
