It is one of China’s earliest museums. In 1998, the newly-rebuilt museum was open to the public. Luan bell (銮铃) Discovered in 1990 A type of bronze (青铜) bell that could be found on chariots (马车) in ancient China. The pre-Qin Luan bells were not only used to show the coming of a chariot; they were also a symbol of the person’s social place. Bronze face mask (面具) Discovered in 1986 This mask is believed to have been a tool used by wizards (巫师) in ancient times. Many similar masks have been discovered in Henan. They can help researchers to better understand the ancient customs (习俗) of China. Ticket InformationVisitors with an ID card may book free tickets online. They can easily enter the museum by showing their ID card. Visitors without an ID card are required to sign up at the museum’s ticket office. Visitor-Notice1. Children under the age of 12 must visit the museum along with their parents. 2. Smoking, phone conversations and noise-making are not allowed. HENAN MUSEUMOpening hours: 9:00-17:00, Tuesday to Sunday. Phone: 0371-63511237 1．When was the newly-rebuilt Henan Museum open to the public? A．In 1927. B．In 1986. C．In 1990. D．In 1998. 2．Which could help researchers learn more about the ancient customs of China? A．Luan bells. B．Bronze face mask. C．Pre-Qin chariots.

D．Pay a visit on Monday. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了河南博物院的基本背景情况、两件青铜珍贵文物（銮铃和青铜面具）的介绍、门票预约须知、参观注意事项以及开馆时间。 1．根据首段最后一句“In 1998, the newly-rebuilt museum was open to the public.”可知，重建后的河南博物院在1998年对公众开放。 2．根据“Bronze face mask”部分的介绍“They can help researchers to better understand the ancient customs of China.”可知，青铜面具能够帮助研究人员更好地了解中国的古代习俗。 3．根据“Ticket Information”中的“Visitors without an ID card are required to sign up at the museum’s ticket office.”可知，没有身份证的游客可以通过在博物馆售票处登记来进行参观。 Most scientists agree the Great Sphinx of Giza (吉萨狮身人面像) was built around 2,500 BC． But John Anthony West, a writer and film maker, says that it’s much older, If he’s right, everything anybody has learned about ancient civilizations (文明) would have to be completely revised. West first got interested in ancient history after studying the work of a French researcher. The researcher said Egyptian civilization developed as early as 30,000 years ago, rather than 4,500 years ago, as most experts believe. West joined a scientist to do research together. Their research suggested that the Sphinx had been worn down (磨损) over the years by water, rather than by sand and wind. Wait a minute? Water? How could that be? The Sphinx is in the Sahara Desert. The Sahara Desert has been dry for 12,000 years! However, before that time, it was very green. If it’s true that water wore down the Sphinx, West thinks that it must have been built thousands of years earlier. Whether West is right or wrong, it’s important to challenge accepted ideas. That’s how science progresses. West gave some advice to kids: If you are interested in a topic, read everything you can on it. Do your own research. Ask lots of questions and find your own answers. 1．What does the underlined word “revised” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Locked. B．Created. C．Changed. D．Supported. 2．When did Egyptian civilization develop according to a French researcher? A．4,500 years ago. B．6,000 years ago. C．12,000 years ago. D．30,000 years ago. 3．What wore down the Sphinx in West and a scientist’s research? A．Sand. B．Water. C．Wind. D．Heat. 4．What is West’s advice for kids? A．Being active learners. B．Trusting most scientists. C．Just remembering facts. D．Always asking teachers. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．Water on the Sand: A New Look at the Desert B．A Writer’s Advice: How to Be a Young Scientist C．Challenging History: The Mystery of the Sphinx D．The Sphinx’s Secret: Research, Questions, and Answers 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文讨论了对吉萨狮身人面像建造时间等传统观点的挑战，以及鼓励自主探索和挑战权威的重要性。 1．根据第一段“If he’s right, everything anybody has learned about ancient civilizations would have to be completely revised.”可知，如果West是对的（狮身人面像更古老），那么人们关于古代文明所学的一切都必须彻底“修改”。结合选项，Locked（锁定）、Created（创造）、Supported（支持）均不符合语境，Changed（改变）与revised含义最接近。 2．根据第二段“The researcher said Egyptian civilization developed as early as 30,000 years ago, rather than 4,500 years ago, as most experts believe.”可知，那位法国研究者认为埃及文明早在30,000年前就发展了，而大多数专家认为是4,500年前。题目问的是法国研究者的观点。 3．根据第三段“Their research suggested that the Sphinx had been worn down over the years by water, rather than by sand and wind.”可知，West和科学家的研究表明狮身人面像是被水侵蚀磨损的，而不是沙和风。 4．根据最后一段West给孩子的建议“read everything you can...Do your own research. Ask lots of questions and find your own answers.”（阅读所有能读到的资料，做自己的研究，多问问题并找到自己的答案）。这些建议鼓励孩子主动探索和学习，而不是被动接受。A选项“成为主动的学习者”最符合这一建议的核心精神。 5．文章主要讲述了John Anthony West挑战关于吉萨狮身人面像建造时间的传统观点，提出了更古老的假说及其证据，并强调了挑战公认观点对科学进步的重要性。C选项 “挑战历史：狮身人面像之谜”既涵盖了核心对象（狮身人面像），又体现了文章的主题（挑战传统历史观点）。 Life in modern cities has more in common with that in ancient Rome than you might think. Fried chicken is a kind of popular fast food today, because it cooks fast in hot oil. It’s great for people who want meat without waiting. A study found ancient Romans did something similar. They often fried thrushes (small songbirds) and sold them on the streets. Pollentia is an ancient city on the island of Mallorca. Not long ago, scientists found something exciting on the island—a fast food stall from Roman times. Near the food stall is a 4-metre-deep waste pit (垃圾坑). Inside the pit, scientists found animal bones and other waste. One of the most surprising findings is the bones of thrushes. This shows that they were part of the Roman menu. Alejandro Valenzuela, the leader of the study, says the findings show how Romans used seasonal foods for quick meals. After studying the bird bones, scientists found there were many thrush skulls and breastbones (头骨和胸骨), but not many leg and wing bones. This suggests people cooked and ate the parts with more meat and threw the remains into the pit. Historical records also show that some people caught birds and sold them to vendors. The vendors then cooked and sold them in stalls. Besides thrushes, the pit had bones from chickens and rabbits too. This shows the Roman menu was diverse, not just birds. So, ancient Romans were a lot like us — they loved quick, tasty meals too! 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By giving some examples. B．By telling a historical story. C．By explaining the meaning of “fast food”. D．By comparing modern fast food with ancient Roman food. 2．What did scientists find in the waste pit? A．Ancient menus. B．Tools for frying food. C．Recipes for Roman dishes. D．Bones of thrushes and other animals. 3．Why were there not many thrush leg and wing bones in the pit? A．People sold them. B．People ate those parts. C．They broke down quickly. D．People used them for medicine. 4．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Bones. B．Birds. C．Records. D．Scientists. 5．What can we learn from the passage? A．Fried food first appeared in ancient Rome. B．Ancient Romans lived in cities similar to modern ones. C．Thrushes were the most popular food in ancient Rome. D．Ancient Romans also loved quick and tasty meals like modern people. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．B 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章对比现代快餐与古罗马饮食，借助马略卡岛出土的罗马小吃摊遗迹，证明古罗马人也喜爱便捷美味的油炸快餐。 1．第一段首先提到现代流行的快餐炸鸡（Fried chicken），接着指出研究发现古罗马人也有类似的做法（fried thrushes）。作者是通过对比现代快餐与古罗马食物来引入话题的。 2．第二段中“Inside the pit, scientists found animal bones… One of the most surprising findings is the bones of thrushes.”以及第四段“Besides thrushes, the pit had bones from chickens and rabbits too.”可知，科学家在垃圾坑中发现了画眉鸟以及其他动物（鸡、兔子）的骨头。 3．第三段“After studying the bird bones, scientists found there were many thrush skulls and breastbones, but not many leg and wing bones.”可知坑里有很多头骨和胸骨，但腿骨和翼骨很少。文中接着解释“This suggests people cooked and ate the parts with more meat…”，暗示肉多的部分（如腿和翅膀）被人们吃掉了，所以剩下的骨头较少。 4．划线词所在句的前文“some people caught birds and sold them to vendors”可知，人们捕捉的是鸟，卖给商贩后，商贩烹饪并出售的自然也是这些“鸟”。 5．最后一句总结道“So, ancient Romans were a lot like us — they loved quick, tasty meals too!”，说明古罗马人也像现代人一样喜欢快速且美味的食物。 When we think of history, we often think of kings, queens, and famous battles. But what about the everyday people? How did they live? Thanks to a special kind of archaeology (考古学), we are learning more about the lives of regular people in the past. This is called “household archaeology”. Instead of digging in palaces or temples, household archaeologists dig in ordinary houses, farms, and villages. One famous household archaeology project took place in Pompeii, an ancient Roman city. When Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, the city was buried under ash. Everything, including ordinary people’s homes, was preserved. By studying these homes, archaeologists learned how common Romans lived—what they ate, how they decorated their rooms, and even what their jobs were. Another example is from the American Southwest. Archaeologists studied the ancient Pueblo people who lived in large apartment-like buildings called “pueblos”. By looking at the trash left behind, they found that the Pueblo people ate corn, beans, and hunted wild animals. They also traded with other groups. Household archaeology helps us understand that history is not just about famous people. It is about all of us. 1．What is “household archaeology”? A．Studying the lives of rich people. B．Studying palaces and temples. C．Studying the lives of regular people. D．Studying famous battles. 2．Why is Pompeii a good place for household archaeology? A．Because it was a rich city. B．Because it was buried under ash. C．Because it had many palaces. D．Because it had many famous people. 3．How did archaeologists learn about the Pueblo people? A．By studying their art. B．By studying their trash. C．By studying their kings. D．By studying their temples. 4．What does the writer want to tell us? A．History is only about famous people. B．Ordinary people’s lives are not important. C．History is about everyone, not just famous people. D．Household archaeology is boring. 5．Where might the passage be from? A．A science fiction story. B．A history magazine. C．A travel guide. D．A cookbook. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了“家庭考古学”的概念，并通过庞贝古城和美国西南部普韦布洛人的例子，说明了通过研究普通人的住所和遗留物来了解历史的重要性。 1．根据文章第二段“Thanks to a special kind of archaeology… we are learning more about the lives of regular people in the past. This is called ‘household archaeology’.”可知，家庭考古学是研究普通人的生活。 2．根据文章第三段“When Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, the city was buried under ash. Everything, including ordinary people’s homes, was preserved.”可知，因为被火山灰掩埋使得物品得以保存，所以适合研究。 3．根据文章第四段“By looking at the trash left behind, they found that the Pueblo people ate corn, beans, and hunted wild animals.”可知，考古学家是通过研究垃圾了解普韦布洛人的。 4．根据文章最后一段“Household archaeology helps us understand that history is not just about famous people. It is about all of us.”可知，作者想告诉我们历史关乎每个人，而不仅仅是名人。 5．通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了考古学的一种分支及其历史发现，属于历史科普类内容，最可能出自历史杂志。 In a recent discovery (发现), archaeologists (考古学家) found the ruins (废墟) of an important ancient city! These ruins, found in Baliqiao, Henan, are about 3,700 years old. They are from the Xia Dynasty, which is the earliest known dynasty in China. This discovery helps fill in some pieces of history and helps us see the bigger picture of the Xia Dynasty. The Baliqiao ruins are large, covering about 1.35 million square metres. So far, archaeologists have dug up around 1,800 square metres since they started their work in 2022. They found many interesting things, like walls, roads, and even pottery (陶器), which show that people there were skilled and had a rich culture. What makes the Baliqiao ruins even more exciting is its connection to another place called the Erlitou ruins, which were discovered in 1959 and are known for helping us understand the early days of China. Researchers believe that the culture of the Xia Dynasty spread far and wide, including Baliqiao. Liang Fawei, an archaeologist, explained that the objects found at both places are very alike, showing the influence (影响) of the Xia Dynasty on the Baliqiao area. Nowadays, as researchers continue to dig at the Baliqiao ruins, we can look forward to more treasures from the past. They may help us understand how ancient people lived, what they believed in, and how the Xia Dynasty shaped early China. With each new find, they’re piecing together the story of ancient China. 1．How does the writer show that the Baliqiao ruins are large? A．By telling stories. B．By using numbers. C．By giving examples. D．By showing pictures. 2．What does the underlined word “which” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．The Erlitou ruins. B．The Baliqiao ruins. C．The culture of the Baliqiao ruins. D．The connection to the Erlitou ruins. 3．Why did the writer write the passage? A．To show an important discovery. B．To make an amazing connection. C．To introduce an interesting city in China. D．To remember an ancient period in history. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．A 【导语】本文介绍了河南八里桥夏朝古城遗址这一重大考古发现，介绍遗址规模、出土文物，还将其与二里头遗址关联，阐述该发现对研究夏朝历史的重要意义。 1．根据第二段“The Baliqiao ruins are large, covering about 1.35 million square metres.”可知，作者通过列举具体的数字（1.35 million）来直观地说明遗址的面积之大。 2．根据第三段“...another place called the Erlitou ruins, which people discovered in 1959...”可知，这是一个非限制性定语从句，关系代词“which”指代紧挨着它的先行词“the Erlitou ruins”（二里头遗址），说明二里头遗址是在1959年被发现的。 3．文章开篇点明“In a recent discovery, archaeologists found the ruins of an important ancient city!”，全文围绕这一考古发现展开，介绍了其年代、规模、出土文物及意义。因此，作者写作的主要目的是展示这一重要发现。 Have you ever heard of underwater archaeologists? These scientists explore ancient places and artifacts (文物) hidden under the sea. Throughout history, lots of artifacts have been lost underwater. Because of the limits of the human body and technology, the ocean floor remains largely unexplored. That’s why we need underwater archaeologists. On Pingtan Island in Fujian province, there’s a training centre for future underwater archaeologists. Students from all over China come here to learn how to protect and study artifacts which are discovered underwater. The training is tough. It requires years of hard work and practice. Right now, there are fewer than 200 underwater archaeologists in China. Underwater work, like many outdoor activities, depends greatly on the weather. The best time for underwater work is from May to November, because sea conditions are good during that period. However, this is also the typhoon (台风) season. Underwater archaeologists need to be patient and wait for the right moments. In 1987, a sunken ship named Nanhai One was discovered in the South China Sea. At that time, Chinese archaeologists were not fully prepared for the excavation (发掘). Later, Cui Yong, an underwater archaeologist, played a key role in the project. The ship, carrying over 180,000 artifacts, went down about 800 years ago while travelling from Quanzhou in China to the Indian Ocean. This makes it a key piece of evidence (证据) for studying the Maritime Silk Road (海上丝绸之路) and research on it has continued ever since. Now, underwater archaeology has developed greatly in China. Thanks to archaeologists like Cui, forgotten stories can now be brought to light again. 1．What is the main task of underwater archaeologists? A．To study ancient sea animals. B．To build new ships for sea travel. C．To explore hidden underwater artifacts. 2．What does the underlined word “tough” in paragraph 3 most probably mean? A．Interesting. B．Challenging. C．Encouraging. 3．Why is Nanhai One an important discovery? A．It was the largest ship ever built 800 years ago. B．It carried treasures from many different countries. C．It offers key information for studying the Maritime Silk Road. 4．Which is the best title for the passage? A．Underwater archaeology in China B．Training of underwater archaeologists C．The life of an underwater archaeologist 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了水下考古学家的工作内容，水下考古在中国的培训情况，还以南海一号沉船考古项目为例，展现了中国水下考古学的发展。 1．第一段“These scientists explore ancient places and artifacts (文物) hidden under the sea.”，水下考古学家的核心任务就是探索隐藏在水下的文物，其余两个选项“研究古代海洋生物”“为航海建造新船”均未在文中提及。 2．第三段“It requires years of hard work and practice. Right now, there are fewer than 200 underwater archaeologists in China.”，这项训练需要多年的努力练习，划线单词tough含义为“艰苦的、有挑战性的”，和Challenging表意一致。 3．倒数第二段“This makes it a key piece of evidence (证据) for studying the Maritime Silk Road (海上丝绸之路) and research on it has continued ever since.”，南海一号的重要性在于它为海上丝绸之路研究提供了关键信息。 4．全文围绕中国的水下考古展开，介绍了其工作内容、训练情况、代表性考古项目，核心主题是中国的水下考古学。“水下考古学家的训练”和“水下考古学家的生活”都只是文章的部分内容，无法概括全文主旨，Underwater archaeology in China最为全面。 Caves are dark, quiet, and mysterious places. But did you know they are also like time machines? They can show us what the world was like thousands of years ago. In many caves around the world, people have found ancient paintings on the walls. These paintings are often of animals like bison (野牛), horses and deer. They were painted by people who lived a long, long time ago. Scientists believe these paintings were not just for decoration. They might have been part of special ceremonies (仪式) or a way to tell stories. Besides paintings, caves keep other secrets. The floor of a cave is like a history book. Over thousands of years, dirt and sand build up in rock layers (岩层). In these layers, scientists can find old bones, tools, and even seeds. By studying these things, they can learn what animals lived there and what people ate. Some of the most famous cave paintings are in Lascaux, France. They are over 17,000 years old! To protect them, the caves are now closed to the public. But scientists have built a copy nearby so visitors can still see the amazing art. Caves truly are wonders that connect us to our past. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．Why are caves called “time machines” in the text? A．Because they are very old. B．Because they can show us the past. C．Because they can tell the future. D．Because they are dark and quiet. 2．What does the underlined word “decoration” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．记录 B．装饰 C．食物 D．武器 3．What can scientists find in the layers on the cave floor? A．Old paintings. B．Stars and planets. C．Bones and seeds. D．New animals. 4．Why are the Lascaux caves closed to the public? A．Because they are too dark. B．Because there are dangerous animals. C．To protect the ancient paintings. D．Because no one wants to visit them. 5．What can we learn from the text? A．Cave paintings are all of modern people. B．The cave floor can tell stories about the past. C．There are no caves in France. D．Scientists know nothing about cave paintings. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍洞穴作为“时间机器”的作用——通过壁画、岩层中的遗物展示古代世界，连接人类与过去。 1．第一段明确提到“they can show us what the world was like thousands of years ago”，洞穴被称为“时间机器”是因为能展示过去。 2．第二段“These paintings were not just for decoration. They might have been part of special ceremonies (仪式) or a way to tell stories.”中，结合语境可知壁画不仅是为了装饰，它们可能是特殊仪式的一部分，或是一种讲故事的方式。“decoration”意为“装饰”。 3．第三段提到“In these layers, scientists can find old bones, tools, and even seeds”，岩层中能找到骨头和种子。 4．第四段提到“To protect them, the caves are now closed to the public”，拉斯科洞穴关闭是为了保护古代壁画。 5．第三段提到“The floor of a cave is like a history book...By studying these things, they can learn what animals lived there and what people ate”，说明洞穴地面能讲述过去的故事。 The new building of the Yinxu Museum at the Yinxu Ruins, the site of the capital of the Shang Dynasty, opened to the public on February 26th, 2024. The new museum, which started to be built in 2020, is in the city of Anyang in Henan Province. It reflects the brilliance (辉煌) of the Shang Dynasty. Nearly 4,000 items or sets of cultural relics (文物), including bronze ware (青铜器) and oracle bones (甲骨), are shown there. More than three quarters of these have never been shown to the public before. First excavated (发掘) in 1928, the Yinxu Ruins has been the longest studied ancient capital city ruins in China. It is also known as the birthplace of modern Chinese archaeology (考古学). The site has rich findings of oracle bones showing the oldest-known writing system of Chinese characters. Recently, there have been many new findings. For example, the oldest tomb (墓)of the king of Shang has been found. The new museum has an exhibition (展览) area of about 22,000 ㎡. A visitor talked about her understanding of the bronze ware. Her eyes were filled with admiration for the ancient relics. “The opening of the new museum marks the start of a much longer journey,” said Chen Xingcan, the director of the new museum. 1．About ________ items or sets of cultural relics are shown in the new building of the Yinxu Museum.

D．The new museum covers an area of about 21,000㎡. 5．What can we know from the director’s words about the museum? A．The museum will close soon. B．The opening of the museum is the end of a long journey. C．The museum will not add more exhibits in the future. D．There will be more work to be done to improve the museum. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了殷墟博物馆新馆的开放时间、展出文物、殷墟遗址的价值及新馆的意义。 1．文章第二段第三句“Nearly 4,000 items or sets of cultural relics are shown there.”指出，新馆展出约4000件文物。 2．文章第四段第一句“The site has rich findings of oracle bones”指出，殷墟遗址可以找到甲骨文。 3．根据文章第三段“It is also known as the birthplace of modern Chinese archaeology.”并结合上下文可知，殷墟遗址是中国现代考古学的发源地，因此birthplace意为“事物开始或发源的地方”。 4．文章第四段“The site has rich findings of oracle bones... many new findings”指出，殷墟遗址有大量发现。 5．根据文章最后一段“‘The opening of the new museum marks the start of a much longer journey,’ said Chen Xingcan”可知，馆长认为新馆开放标志着一个更长远旅程的开始，意味着未来还有更多工作要做以完善博物馆。 ◇考点 02 重难语篇提升练 On April 18th each year, people all over the world celebrate the International Day for Monuments and Sites. This year, the theme activities of 2025 International Day for Monuments and Sites were held in Sichuan on April 18th. In China, young people are realizing the importance of history and culture. Many people are doing their best to protect Chinese cultural sites and try to promote them. Making maps for protection Wu Yunjie, who was born in the 1990s, found a new way—by making a special map to show the best cultural sites in China. Wu is now famous on the Internet. He marked almost 10,000 places like old temples, towers, bridges and houses. Each site with colourful marks showed how special and important they were. As a kid, Wu loved going to a temple in his hometown in Ezhou, Hubei. However, it was pulled down years ago. He was sad and decided to record all the cultural sites in China. He started to travel across the country. He visited places in person and added them to his map, making sure we all remember them. Now, Wu asks for help from people online to make his map better and better. And he hopes to share this amazing map with everyone who respects history and culture. Finding new artifacts (文物) Xu Danyang, a 29-year-old archaeologist (考古学家), found an amazing bronze statue (青铜像) at the Sanxingdui site in Sichuan. In 2021, he dug out this statue. In the beginning, his team thought it was a bird. But as they continued the digging, they had a surprise. It turned out to be a statue of a man, about 16cm high. It shows a man kneeling with his head turned, and it surprises everyone who sees it. Making explanations (解释) fun Zhang Bin is a 31-year-old tour guide at Emperor Qinshihuang’s Mausoleum Site Museum in Xi’an, Shaanxi. He works to answer visitors’ questions about the famous Terracotta Warriors and shares all of his knowledge about them. Zhang often uses the traditional Chinese performance art of xiangsheng to explain them. He is doing something meaningful for the site. *If people promote something, they help or encourage it to happen, increase, or spread. 1．How did Wu Yunjie show the best cultural sites in China? A．By working as an archaeologist. B．By drawing many pictures of places. C．By travelling around the world. D．By making a special map. 2．From the passage, we can know the statue of a man ________. ①is a man standing with his head turned    ②was found by Wu Yunjie in 2021 ③is an amazing silver statue        ④is about sixteen centimeters high ⑤was found in Sichuan in 2021 A．①②③ B．④⑤ C．①②⑤ D．③⑤ 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Sichuan held the theme activities of the International Day for Monuments and Sites on April 18th, 2025. B．In order to become famous on the Internet, Wu Yunjie travelled to almost 10, 000 places like old temples, towers, bridges and houses. C．Wu Yunjie’s hometown is in Hunan, and there was a temple when he was young. D．Zhang Bin works at Emperor Qinshihuang’s Mausoleum Site Museum in Xi’an and he is good at Beijing Opera. 4．The passage was written to ________. A．ask more and more people to celebrate the International Day for Monuments and Sites B．introduce some of the places of interest in China to the world C．introduce some people who protect Chinese cultural sites and try to spread them D．attract more and more people to pay attention to Chinese traditional culture 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了几位年轻人以不同方式保护、传播中国文化遗址的事迹。 1．文中“Making maps for protection”部分首句提到“Wu Yunjie who was born in the 1990s found a new way—by making a special map to show the best cultural sites in China”，明确说明他通过制作一张特殊的地图来展示中国的文化遗址，直接得出答案D。 2．文中“Finding new artifacts”部分提到“found an amazing bronze statue... It turned out to be a statue of a man, about 16cm high...

In Central China’s Hunan Province, AI is making this kind of “meeting” possible—it’s making old things, places and even people from Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC) come alive. This fun project is from teamwork between a Changsha company and archaeologists (考古学家). The team uses AI to extract information from old papers and things dug up. Also, they put them in order. The company’s manager, Zhang Gangyi, showed how useful the technology is. He made a picture of Hua, an officer from the Qin Dynasty. Hua’s story and many facts of life in Qin times were written on about 38,000 bamboo slips (竹简). People found these slips in 2002. They are very useful — they filled an empty part in history and told us 15-year life in an old Qin town. Now, the AI-made Hua is a guide at Liye Ancient Town Archaeological Site Park. The park opened again in October after being fixed. It has a new smart guiding system made by Zhang’s team. They turned the old words on the bamboo slips into fun videos. Visitors can scan QR codes (二维码) at the park to watch these videos. Then they can feel what life was like 2,000 years ago. All pictures, clothes and things in the videos are based on real historical finds. For example, Hua’s clothes got ideas from Emperor Qinshihuang’s tomb in Shaanxi. The team had to read many reports to get small facts right. This was a big challenge for them. Zhang loves Chinese history very much. He said technology helps people learn about the past better. “History is not just in museum boxes—people can feel it and talk with it,” he said. He thinks “culture+technology” will make traditional culture easier for everyone to enjoy. For example, visitors could wear VR (虚拟现实) glasses to see Qin Dynasty buildings on screen. He also said our own technology is important. We can’t use foreign technologies for our cultural projects. 根据语篇内容选择最佳答案。 1．What makes the “face-to-face meeting with Emperor Qinshihuang” possible?

Most scientists agree the Great Sphinx of Giza (吉萨狮身人面像) was built around 2,500 BC． But John Anthony West, a writer and film maker, says that it’s much older, If he’s right, everything anybody has learned about ancient civilizations (文明) would have to be completely revised. West first got interested in ancient history after studying the work of a French researcher. The researcher said Egyptian civilization developed as early as 30,000 years ago, rather than 4,500 years ago, as most experts believe. West joined a scientist to do research together. Their research suggested that the Sphinx had been worn down (磨损) over the years by water, rather than by sand and wind. Wait a minute? Water? How could that be? The Sphinx is in the Sahara Desert. The Sahara Desert has been dry for 12,000 years! However, before that time, it was very green. If it’s true that water wore down the Sphinx, West thinks that it must have been built thousands of years earlier. Whether West is right or wrong, it’s important to challenge accepted ideas. That’s how science progresses. West gave some advice to kids: If you are interested in a topic, read everything you can on it. Do your own research. Ask lots of questions and find your own answers. 1．What does the underlined word “revised” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Locked. B．Created. C．Changed. D．Supported. 2．When did Egyptian civilization develop according to a French researcher? A．4,500 years ago. B．6,000 years ago. C．12,000 years ago. D．30,000 years ago. 3．What wore down the Sphinx in West and a scientist’s research? A．Sand. B．Water. C．Wind. D．Heat. 4．What is West’s advice for kids? A．Being active learners. B．Trusting most scientists. C．Just remembering facts. D．Always asking teachers. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．Water on the Sand: A New Look at the Desert B．A Writer’s Advice: How to Be a Young Scientist C．Challenging History: The Mystery of the Sphinx D．The Sphinx’s Secret: Research, Questions, and Answers Life in modern cities has more in common with that in ancient Rome than you might think. Fried chicken is a kind of popular fast food today, because it cooks fast in hot oil. It’s great for people who want meat without waiting. A study found ancient Romans did something similar. They often fried thrushes (small songbirds) and sold them on the streets. Pollentia is an ancient city on the island of Mallorca. Not long ago, scientists found something exciting on the island—a fast food stall from Roman times. Near the food stall is a 4-metre-deep waste pit (垃圾坑). Inside the pit, scientists found animal bones and other waste. One of the most surprising findings is the bones of thrushes. This shows that they were part of the Roman menu. Alejandro Valenzuela, the leader of the study, says the findings show how Romans used seasonal foods for quick meals. After studying the bird bones, scientists found there were many thrush skulls and breastbones (头骨和胸骨), but not many leg and wing bones. This suggests people cooked and ate the parts with more meat and threw the remains into the pit. Historical records also show that some people caught birds and sold them to vendors. The vendors then cooked and sold them in stalls. Besides thrushes, the pit had bones from chickens and rabbits too. This shows the Roman menu was diverse, not just birds. So, ancient Romans were a lot like us — they loved quick, tasty meals too! 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By giving some examples. B．By telling a historical story. C．By explaining the meaning of “fast food”. D．By comparing modern fast food with ancient Roman food. 2．What did scientists find in the waste pit? A．Ancient menus. B．Tools for frying food. C．Recipes for Roman dishes. D．Bones of thrushes and other animals. 3．Why were there not many thrush leg and wing bones in the pit? A．People sold them. B．People ate those parts. C．They broke down quickly. D．People used them for medicine. 4．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Bones. B．Birds. C．Records. D．Scientists. 5．What can we learn from the passage? A．Fried food first appeared in ancient Rome. B．Ancient Romans lived in cities similar to modern ones. C．Thrushes were the most popular food in ancient Rome. D．Ancient Romans also loved quick and tasty meals like modern people. When we think of history, we often think of kings, queens, and famous battles. But what about the everyday people? How did they live? Thanks to a special kind of archaeology (考古学), we are learning more about the lives of regular people in the past. This is called “household archaeology”. Instead of digging in palaces or temples, household archaeologists dig in ordinary houses, farms, and villages. One famous household archaeology project took place in Pompeii, an ancient Roman city. When Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, the city was buried under ash. Everything, including ordinary people’s homes, was preserved. By studying these homes, archaeologists learned how common Romans lived—what they ate, how they decorated their rooms, and even what their jobs were. Another example is from the American Southwest. Archaeologists studied the ancient Pueblo people who lived in large apartment-like buildings called “pueblos”. By looking at the trash left behind, they found that the Pueblo people ate corn, beans, and hunted wild animals. They also traded with other groups. Household archaeology helps us understand that history is not just about famous people. It is about all of us. 1．What is “household archaeology”? A．Studying the lives of rich people. B．Studying palaces and temples. C．Studying the lives of regular people. D．Studying famous battles. 2．Why is Pompeii a good place for household archaeology? A．Because it was a rich city. B．Because it was buried under ash. C．Because it had many palaces. D．Because it had many famous people. 3．How did archaeologists learn about the Pueblo people? A．By studying their art. B．By studying their trash. C．By studying their kings. D．By studying their temples. 4．What does the writer want to tell us? A．History is only about famous people. B．Ordinary people’s lives are not important. C．History is about everyone, not just famous people. D．Household archaeology is boring. 5．Where might the passage be from? A．A science fiction story. B．A history magazine. C．A travel guide. D．A cookbook. In a recent discovery (发现), archaeologists (考古学家) found the ruins (废墟) of an important ancient city! These ruins, found in Baliqiao, Henan, are about 3,700 years old. They are from the Xia Dynasty, which is the earliest known dynasty in China. This discovery helps fill in some pieces of history and helps us see the bigger picture of the Xia Dynasty. The Baliqiao ruins are large, covering about 1.35 million square metres. So far, archaeologists have dug up around 1,800 square metres since they started their work in 2022. They found many interesting things, like walls, roads, and even pottery (陶器), which show that people there were skilled and had a rich culture. What makes the Baliqiao ruins even more exciting is its connection to another place called the Erlitou ruins, which were discovered in 1959 and are known for helping us understand the early days of China. Researchers believe that the culture of the Xia Dynasty spread far and wide, including Baliqiao. Liang Fawei, an archaeologist, explained that the objects found at both places are very alike, showing the influence (影响) of the Xia Dynasty on the Baliqiao area. Nowadays, as researchers continue to dig at the Baliqiao ruins, we can look forward to more treasures from the past. They may help us understand how ancient people lived, what they believed in, and how the Xia Dynasty shaped early China. With each new find, they’re piecing together the story of ancient China. 1．How does the writer show that the Baliqiao ruins are large? A．By telling stories. B．By using numbers. C．By giving examples. D．By showing pictures. 2．What does the underlined word “which” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．The Erlitou ruins. B．The Baliqiao ruins. C．The culture of the Baliqiao ruins. D．The connection to the Erlitou ruins. 3．Why did the writer write the passage? A．To show an important discovery. B．To make an amazing connection. C．To introduce an interesting city in China. D．To remember an ancient period in history. Have you ever heard of underwater archaeologists? These scientists explore ancient places and artifacts (文物) hidden under the sea. Throughout history, lots of artifacts have been lost underwater. Because of the limits of the human body and technology, the ocean floor remains largely unexplored. That’s why we need underwater archaeologists. On Pingtan Island in Fujian province, there’s a training centre for future underwater archaeologists. Students from all over China come here to learn how to protect and study artifacts which are discovered underwater. The training is tough. It requires years of hard work and practice. Right now, there are fewer than 200 underwater archaeologists in China. Underwater work, like many outdoor activities, depends greatly on the weather. The best time for underwater work is from May to November, because sea conditions are good during that period. However, this is also the typhoon (台风) season. Underwater archaeologists need to be patient and wait for the right moments. In 1987, a sunken ship named Nanhai One was discovered in the South China Sea. At that time, Chinese archaeologists were not fully prepared for the excavation (发掘). Later, Cui Yong, an underwater archaeologist, played a key role in the project. The ship, carrying over 180,000 artifacts, went down about 800 years ago while travelling from Quanzhou in China to the Indian Ocean. This makes it a key piece of evidence (证据) for studying the Maritime Silk Road (海上丝绸之路) and research on it has continued ever since. Now, underwater archaeology has developed greatly in China. Thanks to archaeologists like Cui, forgotten stories can now be brought to light again. 1．What is the main task of underwater archaeologists? A．To study ancient sea animals. B．To build new ships for sea travel. C．To explore hidden underwater artifacts. 2．What does the underlined word “tough” in paragraph 3 most probably mean? A．Interesting. B．Challenging. C．Encouraging. 3．Why is Nanhai One an important discovery? A．It was the largest ship ever built 800 years ago. B．It carried treasures from many different countries. C．It offers key information for studying the Maritime Silk Road. 4．Which is the best title for the passage? A．Underwater archaeology in China B．Training of underwater archaeologists C．The life of an underwater archaeologist Caves are dark, quiet, and mysterious places. But did you know they are also like time machines? They can show us what the world was like thousands of years ago. In many caves around the world, people have found ancient paintings on the walls. These paintings are often of animals like bison (野牛), horses and deer. They were painted by people who lived a long, long time ago. Scientists believe these paintings were not just for decoration. They might have been part of special ceremonies (仪式) or a way to tell stories. Besides paintings, caves keep other secrets. The floor of a cave is like a history book. Over thousands of years, dirt and sand build up in rock layers (岩层). In these layers, scientists can find old bones, tools, and even seeds. By studying these things, they can learn what animals lived there and what people ate. Some of the most famous cave paintings are in Lascaux, France. They are over 17,000 years old! To protect them, the caves are now closed to the public. But scientists have built a copy nearby so visitors can still see the amazing art. Caves truly are wonders that connect us to our past. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．Why are caves called “time machines” in the text? A．Because they are very old. B．Because they can show us the past. C．Because they can tell the future. D．Because they are dark and quiet. 2．What does the underlined word “decoration” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

D．New animals. 4．Why are the Lascaux caves closed to the public? A．Because they are too dark. B．Because there are dangerous animals. C．To protect the ancient paintings. D．Because no one wants to visit them. 5．What can we learn from the text? A．Cave paintings are all of modern people. B．The cave floor can tell stories about the past. C．There are no caves in France. D．Scientists know nothing about cave paintings. The new building of the Yinxu Museum at the Yinxu Ruins, the site of the capital of the Shang Dynasty, opened to the public on February 26th, 2024. The new museum, which started to be built in 2020, is in the city of Anyang in Henan Province. It reflects the brilliance (辉煌) of the Shang Dynasty. Nearly 4,000 items or sets of cultural relics (文物), including bronze ware (青铜器) and oracle bones (甲骨), are shown there. More than three quarters of these have never been shown to the public before. First excavated (发掘) in 1928, the Yinxu Ruins has been the longest studied ancient capital city ruins in China. It is also known as the birthplace of modern Chinese archaeology (考古学). The site has rich findings of oracle bones showing the oldest-known writing system of Chinese characters. Recently, there have been many new findings. For example, the oldest tomb (墓)of the king of Shang has been found. The new museum has an exhibition (展览) area of about 22,000 ㎡. A visitor talked about her understanding of the bronze ware.

This year, the theme activities of 2025 International Day for Monuments and Sites were held in Sichuan on April 18th. In China, young people are realizing the importance of history and culture. Many people are doing their best to protect Chinese cultural sites and try to promote them. Making maps for protection Wu Yunjie, who was born in the 1990s, found a new way—by making a special map to show the best cultural sites in China. Wu is now famous on the Internet. He marked almost 10,000 places like old temples, towers, bridges and houses. Each site with colourful marks showed how special and important they were. As a kid, Wu loved going to a temple in his hometown in Ezhou, Hubei. However, it was pulled down years ago. He was sad and decided to record all the cultural sites in China. He started to travel across the country. He visited places in person and added them to his map, making sure we all remember them. Now, Wu asks for help from people online to make his map better and better. And he hopes to share this amazing map with everyone who respects history and culture. Finding new artifacts (文物) Xu Danyang, a 29-year-old archaeologist (考古学家), found an amazing bronze statue (青铜像) at the Sanxingdui site in Sichuan. In 2021, he dug out this statue. In the beginning, his team thought it was a bird. But as they continued the digging, they had a surprise. It turned out to be a statue of a man, about 16cm high. It shows a man kneeling with his head turned, and it surprises everyone who sees it. Making explanations (解释) fun Zhang Bin is a 31-year-old tour guide at Emperor Qinshihuang’s Mausoleum Site Museum in Xi’an, Shaanxi. He works to answer visitors’ questions about the famous Terracotta Warriors and shares all of his knowledge about them. Zhang often uses the traditional Chinese performance art of xiangsheng to explain them. He is doing something meaningful for the site. *If people promote something, they help or encourage it to happen, increase, or spread. 1．How did Wu Yunjie show the best cultural sites in China?
