(宜春期中)Think about the last time you went to an art or history museum. Which pieces of artifacts stood out to you? Did you read the introduction next to them? Did it tell you where the artifacts were from and how the museums got them?
Today, many museums around the world own art and artifacts that were stolen or looted(掠夺)from their original countries during war or colonial(殖民主义的)rule. You may see ancient Chinese paintings shown in the British Museum, or sculptures from Africa that date back to the 19th century on display in the Louvre Museum. Many countries have asked European museums to repatriate the artifacts.
The debate over whether and how museums should give back artifacts to their original countries has been going on for many years. Those who suggest returning all foreign artifacts to their homes insist that it is morally(道义上)the right thing to do. Furthermore, the country owning the objects will receive an important part of their heritage back, and these artifacts will be given a chance to be truly valued in their homeland.
Yet there are different voices. Those against the return point out that some foreign artifacts were not stolen but bought a long time ago. Also, it is sometimes hard to identify(确认)the true owners of certain artifacts—should they be returned to the country, a group or an individual? There is also a view that culture is a shared treasure and the artifacts are in fact “cultural ambassadors(大使)” that improve understanding. They believe that while taking them away from their countries of origin was wrong, history is full of “good” and “bad” actors. Moreover, they feel that keeping the cultural objects in the current museums has kept millions of artifacts safe from damage.
On the matter of return, some governments have made the move. In 2018, French President Emmanuel Macron told officially that France would give back 26 looted treasures to the African state of Benin. “I cannot accept that a large part of cultural heritage from several African countries is in France,” said Macron. It's said to be part of France's longpromised plans to return artifacts taken from Africa during the colonial rule.
Museums all across Europe began reconsidering their previous policies on colonial treasures. In France, twentyseven artifacts had been identified for return, but only one has been returned. Then, on October 6, 2020, France's National Assembly officially passed a bill(法案)promising the return of these heritage artifacts, but didn't fix a certain date. It seems that there is still a long way to go for the return of foreign heritage treasures.
(C)1.The underlined word “repatriate” in paragraph 2 probably means .
A.protect B.show C.return D.borrow
(B)2.People who consider foreign artifacts as “cultural ambassadors” may agree that .
A.mistakes in history need correcting in time
B.heritage artifacts belong to all the human beings
C.artifacts will be better protected in their homeland
D.history museum tours will be popular in the future
(C)3.What can we learn from the passage?
A.French museums refused to identify all the colonial treasures.
B.Policies and bills have no use in protecting foreign heritage treasures.
C.The treasures stolen or looted can hardly be back to their homeland soon.
D.Governments have the duty to keep foreign treasures in good protection.
(D)4.By writing this passage, the writer wants to .
A.explain how and why many foreign treasures were stolen or looted
B.advise governments to take actions in returning foreign treasures
C.encourage us to take part in the debate over stolen or looted treasures
D.show different views and present situation on the return of treasures
