[课时跟踪检测]　阅读写作融会练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Chinese cultural relic authorities on Thursday revealed some new discoveries from the puzzling Sanxingdui Ruins in Sichuan Province, including a gold mask, a huge bronze mask, bronze statues and ivory carvings. A complete gold mask, 37.2 centimeters wide, 16.5 centimeters high and about 100 grams in weight, was unearthed from No.3 Pit.The golden mask shares a similar size and the same facial features as one of the bronze heads unearthed before.“This golden mask might be a part of the face of the bronze head，” Ran Honglin, head of the Sanxingdui Institute of Archaeology (考古学)，told the Global Times.Meanwhile, a large bronze mask, 135 centimeters wide and 74 centimeters high, was dug up from the same pit, which is relatively well preserved and it is the largest bronze mask ever discovered at the site. Among the newly unearthed bronze statues from No.4 Pit, one standing figure is being jokingly called the ancient “ancestor” of the popular Japanese superhero “Ultraman” due to the pointed crown (王冠) on its head and his eyes that stick out.Another bronze statue has a special hairstyle that reminded people of the crown-shaped hat worn by Zhuge Liang, a Chinese statesman living during the Three Kingdoms period.And still another bronze statue has a unique pose.The figure is kneeling down with his head turned to the right and his hands are on the front left side of his body, but most interestingly, the figure is standing on the balls of both feet with his heels high in the air.The shapes and decorations of these bronze statues make them unique as valuable resources for the research of the ancient Kingdom of Shu, some 3,000 years ago. Currently, the third and fourth pits have produced 729 and 1,073 relics, including three relics made from unknown materials.Meanwhile, 200 ivory relics have been discovered in the eighth pit. 语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。国家文物局发布了一批三星堆最新出土的文物，其中包括黄金面具、青铜面具、青铜雕像和象牙雕刻品等。 1．What do we know about the bronze mask?
