It happened in 1985, when he was digging a well in his backyard. He hit something hard—it was a bronze vessel (青铜器). He carefully dug around it and found several more objects, including a bronze mirror and some ancient coins. My grandfather didn't know much about archaeology, but he knew these objects were valuable. He contacted the local museum, and archaeologists came to examine the site. They discovered that the objects were from the Han Dynasty, over 2,000 years ago. The museum kept the treasures, and my grandfather received a certificate of appreciation. At first, some people in the village said my grandfather was foolish for not selling the objects. But my grandfather always said, "These things belong to history, not to me. It is our duty to pass them on." His words have stayed with me ever since. I am now a history teacher. Whenever I teach about the Han Dynasty, I tell my students this story. It reminds us that history is not just in textbooks—it is all around us, waiting to be found. ( )6. What did the writer's grandfather find in his backyard? A. A gold mask. B.

C. Only archaeologists can find history. D. History is only found in textbooks. C   The Importance of Archaeology Archaeology is the study of past human life through the recovery and analysis of objects. It is a field that combines history, science, and a bit of detective work. Why is archaeology so important? First, it provides physical evidence of past civilisations (文明). Unlike written records, which can be biased (有偏见的) or incomplete, archaeological objects are direct remains. They tell us how people lived, what they ate, and what they believed. Second, archaeology helps us connect with our ancestors. When we hold a tool or a piece of pottery that was made thousands of years ago, we feel a direct link to the past. This connection can give us a deeper understanding of our identity and heritage. Third, archaeology can correct our mistakes. Sometimes, written records are wrong or incomplete. Archaeology can provide the missing pieces and give us a more complete picture of history. Despite its importance, archaeology faces challenges. Sites are threatened by development, climate change, and looting (掠夺). That is why it is important to support and protect archaeological work. ( )11. What does archaeology combine? A. History and art. B. History, science, and detective work. C. Science and literature. D. Art and music. ( )12. Why is archaeological evidence valuable compared to written records? A. It is more expensive. B. It is directly from the past. C. It is easier to read. D. It is written in many languages. ( )13. How does archaeology help us connect with our ancestors? A. It helps us become archaeologists. B. It provides a direct link to the past through objects. C. It teaches us how to write. D. It helps us travel to ancient places. ( )14. What can archaeology do for written records? A. It can replace them completely. B. It can correct or complete them. C. It can make them more expensive. D. It can destroy them. ( )15.

It is located in Guanghan, Sichuan Province. The site was first discovered in the 1920s when a farmer found some jade objects. However, it was not until the 1980s that large-scale excavations began. In 1986, archaeologists made a breakthrough (突破). They found two large pits (坑) filled with thousands of objects. These included gold masks, bronze statues, and ivory tusks. The finds were so surprising that they completely changed the understanding of ancient Chinese history. They showed that the ancient Shu Kingdom was a highly developed civilisation with its own unique culture. Since then, more discoveries have been made. In 2020 and 2021, six new pits were found, and even more treasures were uncovered. The work continues, and archaeologists are still trying to understand the full story of Sanxingdui.
