They found a well-preserved silk painting that dates back more than 2,000 years. The painting, which measures 60 centimetres by 40 centimetres, was found in a lacquerware box that had been sealed for centuries. It shows scenes of daily life in the Han Dynasty, including farming, fishing, and celebrations. “This is a very important discovery,” said Dr. Liu, one of the lead researchers. “The painting is so well preserved that we can see the details clearly. It gives us a true picture of life in the Han Dynasty.” The researchers have been using special technology to study the painting without damaging it. They found that the painting was made with natural pigments—colours made from plants and minerals. “Studying this painting is like reading a history book,” Dr. Liu said. “It tells us about the clothes people wore, the tools they used, and the festivals they celebrated. It shows that life in the Han Dynasty was not so different from today in some ways.” The painting is now being prepared for exhibition at the Hunan Museum. It is expected to attract many visitors when it opens to the public next year. “This discovery tells us that we still have much to learn about our past,” Dr. Liu added. “Every object we find has a story to tell.” 16．Why was the painting so well preserved? A．Because it was made of special materials. B．Because it was sealed in a lacquerware box for centuries. C．Because it was buried deep in the ground. D．Because it was painted on silk. 17．What does Dr. Liu mean by “Studying this painting is like reading a history book”? A．The painting has writing on it. B．The painting was made by a historian. C．The painting is as old as a history book. D．The painting provides information about the lives of people in the Han Dynasty. 18．According to Dr. Liu, what does the painting tell us about the Han Dynasty? A．People in the Han Dynasty lived very differently from us. B．People in the Han Dynasty did not have festivals. C．People in the Han Dynasty had some similarities to people today. D．People in the Han Dynasty did not wear clothes. 19．What can be inferred about the researchers’ approach to studying the painting? A．They used methods that could harm the painting. B．They focused only on the colours used in the painting. C．They used technology to avoid damaging the painting. D．They studied the painting without using any tools. 20．What does the author mainly want to do in this passage? A．To describe how silk paintings were made. B．To introduce a new discovery about the Mawangdui Tombs. C．To compare the Han Dynasty with modern times. D．To advertise the Hunan Museum. B 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Sanxingdui is one of the most important archaeological sites in China. 21 Its discovery in the 1920s opened a window into a previously unknown civilization. Since then, archaeologists have uncovered thousands of precious artifacts that continue to challenge our understanding of ancient China. In May 2026, a team of researchers made a discovery that astonished the academic world. They found a meteoritic iron object in one of the sacrificial pits. 22 It was not made from ordinary iron ore. Instead, it came from a meteorite that struck Earth thousands of years ago. This was the first time such an object had been found in this region. 23 The researchers used pXRF technology to confirm its origin. They discovered that the iron contained high levels of nickel—a metal common in meteorites but rare in Earth’s rocks. This finding proved that the iron did not come from Earth. The discovery has far-reaching implications. 24 It shows that the people of the ancient Shu Kingdom possessed advanced metalworking skills and could work with materials from beyond our planet. This challenges the traditional view that ancient Chinese civilization was isolated and technologically limited. “Every new find at Sanxingdui raises as many questions as it answers,” said Dr. Wang, the lead researcher. “That is what makes this site so fascinating. 25 ” A．It provides concrete evidence of the Shu Kingdom’s technological capabilities. B．Many experts believe it was a religious center. C．The discovery was immediately recognised as a major breakthrough. D．We are just beginning to understand the complexity of this ancient civilization. E．The object itself was only 7 centimetres long, but its significance was enormous. F．It is a pity that the object was damaged. G．This was the first time meteoritic iron had been found at Sanxingdui. 一、阅读理解 （2023湖北武汉中考） Dinosaur (恐龙) Prints Discovered A diner eating in a restaurant’s outdoor yard, in Sichuan Province, has discovered dinosaur footprints on the ground.
