While pumping water from a pond, he found a large underground cave (洞穴). This led to the discovery of 24 ancient man-made caves, now known as the Longyou Caves. What makes these caves even more mysterious is the strange stone balls found inside. These stone balls are perfectly round and smooth, with diameters ranging from 10 to 30 centimeters. They are made of hard granite, and each one is almost exactly the same in shape. The most puzzling question is: how were they made so perfectly round without modern tools? Archaeologists estimate (估计) that the caves were built about 2,000 years ago, during the Han Dynasty. However, no historical records mention their construction. The stone balls add to the mystery. Some experts believe they might have been used as bearings for large doors or machines. Others think they could have been part of an ancient calendar system. A few even suggest they might have had religious meaning. What’s particularly interesting is that similar stone balls have been found in other parts of the world, like Costa Rica. But the Longyou stone balls are unique in their perfect roundness and smooth surface. Scientists have tried to recreate them using ancient methods, but haven’t succeeded in making balls as perfect as the originals. Today, the Longyou Caves are open to tourists, and the stone balls remain one of China’s fascinating archaeological mysteries, reminding us that ancient people had skills and knowledge that we are still trying to understand. 11．What did the farmer find that led to the discovery of the caves? A．Ancient writings on stone. B．A large underground cave while pumping water. C．Some perfectly round stones in a field. D．Old tools from the Han Dynasty. 12．How do the Longyou stone balls differ from similar ones found elsewhere? A．They are much larger in size. B．They are made of different materials. C．Their perfect roundness and smooth surface are unique. D．They have special marks on them. 13．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a possible use for the stone balls? A．As part of a calendar system. B．For religious ceremonies. C．As weapons for ancient wars. D．As bearings for doors or machines. 14．What is the main purpose of the third paragraph? A．To describe how the caves were built. B．To explain why the stone balls are so smooth. C．To give different theories about the use of the stone balls.
