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 trade 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.

Today more and more people travel around China by high-speed train. We know that China wasn't an early starter in the high-speed rail field. Japan started half a century ago, and Ger-many did 22 years ago. But China has the largest high-speed railway system (系统) in the world. Here are some advantages of China high—speed trains.

First, China high-speed trains do well in speed. For example, the G3 train from Beijing to Shanghai only takes 4 hours and 48 minutes. But a normal-speed train takes more than 15 hours. The travel time between main cities in China has already been reduced.

Second, it's handy for you to book or cancel tickets. There are many high speed trains running during the day, especially between popular cities. You can choose your favorite one according to your plan. It's easy to cancel or change, if necessary.

As we know, airplanes and normal speed trains sometimes will not arrive on time. But high-speed trains always arrive at station on time. This type of trains are less affected (影响) by weather conditions or traffic control.

Moreover, traveling by high-speed train can make your trip more comfortable. You can enjoy nearly the same service as airplane. You can even walk around on a train and use the Internet on a high-speed train.

According to these advantages, the high-speed railways bridge the distance between people. It greatly develops people's lives.

 阅读下列短文,根据题目要求,从各题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项,。

A European Union program is letting blind people experience famous paintings for the first time. It uses three dimensional(3-D) printing to recreate famous paintings so they can be touched. 

One painting printed with the new technology is Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss". It is a popular attraction at the Belvedere Museum in Vienna, Austria. The painting shows a man and a woman standing in a field filled with flowers. They are wearing gold robes(长袍) and have their arms around each other. The man leans down to kiss the woman. 

Klimt finished the painting in 

1908. Until now, people who had trouble seeing could not appreciate the artwork. But thanks to the reproduction(复制品), they can touch the piece and feel the ridges(隆起) and depressions. Andreas Reichinger said this reproduction was his most difficult project because the couple's robes are so detailed. 

Dominika Raditsch is a blind museum visitor. She touched the reproduction. As she moved her hands around it she said, "Exactly, can you see these? There are so many details. " Raditsch said she could imagine what the original painting looked like when she touched the reproduction. "It's somehow round. You can feel it. It comes with it. And in many places it's so smooth. And then I think to myself — it probably shines, too!" Raditsch said. 

The Belvedere is not the only museum to have 3-D versions of its artwork. Some of the pieces at the Prado, in Madrid, Spain, have reproductions that can be touched. But the piece in Vienna has one special part: it is made with widely available 3-D printing technology. That means one day, blind art fans anywhere in the world could download the source files and print the reproductions themselves.
