Passage1
Sitting back in my seat, I can’t quite believe that I’m about to travel along the railway that many foreign experts claimed was “impossible”. The train has been racing along steadily since it left Xining. All this time, the song “Sky Railway” has been playing inside my head. The words “railways like massive dragons are winding among the mountains” seem particularly vivid as I travel across the “roof of the world”.
I was one of the people who came from all parts of China to work on this railway. Taking years to complete, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway is a record of all of our efforts to overcome the most difficult engineering challenges. How to protect the delicate ecosystem was among the top concerns.
The first landmark to catch my eye is the splendid Qingshuihe Bridge, the world’s longest bridge built over permafrost. Look! A group of Tibetan antelopes is moving under the bridge, with some stopping to eat grass at their leisure. Thirty-three passages have been built under the railway to allow the animals to move safely and freely in their natural habitat. Wild animals such as these Tibetan antelopes have now been using these passages for years. They seem totally unaware that we are speeding past at over 100 kilometres an hour.
To prevent damage to wetlands and grasslands, 675 bridges with a total length of about 160 kilometres were built between Golmud and Lhasa. We even moved 140,000 square metres of wetland to a new area in order to protect its distinct ecosystem.
The journey has been flying by, and before I know it, we have reached Tanggula Station. Located at over 5,000 metres above sea level, this is the highest railway station in the world. In locations such as this, the thin air, changeable weather and high levels of UV radiation presented perhaps the greatest challenge for railway workers. To make sure we stayed healthy, several oxygen-making stations were constructed. We were also able to enjoy regular breaks in lower areas.
As we pass Cuona Lake, I feel a sense of pride and achievement. Using thousands and thousands of sandbags, we built a twenty-kilometre wall along the lake to protect it from construction waste. Cuona Lake is so close to the railway that I want to reach out and touch its pale blue mirror-like surface. Water birds playing in the lake, and cattle and sheep wandering the grasslands bring the scenery to life.
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has been attracting people’s admiration for centuries. Now, thanks to our efforts, passengers from all over the country have been enjoying these magical landscapes. I am proud that we built our “impossible” railway, and did so with the care that the environment deserves. It truly is an extraordinary “Sky Railway”.

Read and find out the challenges & solutions.

Passage2
Beijing, capital of China, Oct 18, 2023——More than half of a total of 369 cooperation initiatives reached at the third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation (BRF) have started to be implemented now, according to the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) on Wednesday.
China has signed cooperation documents with countries including Honduras, Argentina, Mauritania, Serbia, and Egypt, further consolidating and expanding the partnership around the building of the Belt and Road.
The country has also signed cooperation documents with international organizations, including the United Nations, the World Intellectual Property Organization, and the World Meteorological Organization, to strengthen cooperation on the aspects of sustainable transportation, intellectual property rights, and meteorology.
A railroad between China and Laos, a vehicle plant in South Africa, a container port in Greece and a highway in Jamaica — these represent just a few of the projects constructed and managed as part of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) over the past decade. They have not only contributed to the economic advancement of the developing countries, but have also promote the global trade.
According to a document released by China's Office of the Leading Group for Promoting the Belt and Road Initiative, in the next decade, all parties will be encouraged to struggle for equal cooperation and mutual benefit, driving Belt and Road cooperation into a new stage characterized by high-quality development.
Just as what President Xi said at the opening ceremony of the third Belt and Road Initiative: Win-win cooperation is the sure way to success in launching major initiatives that benefit all. When you give roses to others, their fragrance lingers on your hand. In other words, helping others is also helping oneself. The modernization we are pursuing is not for China alone, but for all developing countries through our joint efforts. Belt and Road cooperation was proposed by China , but its benefits and opportunities are for the world to share!
Task：
Read the passage and answer the following questions:
(1) Over the past decade, what benefits have BRI brought to countries
(2) What’s the spirit of the Belt and Road

课型：群文阅读（The Sky Railway ; the Belt and Road）
主题语境：人与社会
语篇类型：游记和新闻报道
授课班级：高二7班
学情分期：高二7班是一个文科A层班，同学们多数对英语学习有热情，有较好的词汇积累和文章处理能力，但他们几乎从未涉及过群文阅读课，这次课堂设计的文章难度较大，因此安排了课前预习。
一、语篇内容分析
本节课的主题为"The Road"，包含两篇文章，第一篇是选自新外研版高中英语教科书选修一Unit6中的The Sky Railway，第二篇是选自China Daily的一篇关于“一带一路”的新闻报道。第一篇The Sky Railway中文标题为天路，语篇类型为游记。作者通过描述自己的一次“天路”之旅，以青藏铁路沿途风景为主线，介绍了铁路建设过程中的艰辛，回顾了建设者们在青藏铁路修建过程中，克服重重困难，最终建成这条“不可能建成的”铁路的历程，表达了自己作为其中一名建设者的自豪之情。
第二个语篇是内容是关于前不久召开的第三届“一带一路”峰会的新闻报道。报道聚焦于中方与各国家、各组织达成了一系列重要合作共识；总结了在过去的10年时间里面，各国共建“一带一路”取得历史性成就，成果惠及150多个国家，开拓出一条通向共同发展的合作之路、机遇之路、繁荣之路，成为当今世界最受欢迎的和最大规模的国际合作平台；也提出了全党全组织在接下来10年的目标以及想要达成的更高质量的发展。报道中还提到了习近平主席在高峰论坛开幕式上发表主旨演讲，回顾10年成就，总结成功经验，强调共建“一带一路”站在历史正确一边，符合时代进步逻辑，走的是人间正道。
二、语篇关联
这两篇文章的体裁不一样，但内容都围绕着Road这一主题展开。第一个语篇通过深挖建设青藏铁路的挑战与解决方法，利用数据引导学生体会其修建困难之大和修建决心之强，由此引出我们为什么能成功建设这条铁路。再过渡到大家共同努力建设铁路连接各族人民，目的是实现民族团结和统一。第二个语篇聚焦于两点：在过去十年里面，“一带一路”为各国带来了什么益处；“一带一路”的核心精神是什么。通过总结提炼出连接世界，目的是实现各国合作和共赢。无论是青藏铁路还是“一带一路”都是要把大家紧紧团结在一起，构建人类命运共同体。
