阅读理解

The first emperor of China, Qin Shihuang, completed a huge number of projects during his rule. Between 221 and 210 B. C. , he started the building of the Great Wall. The emperor also ordered the building of a huge army of life-sized terracotta soldiers (士兵). These, he hoped, would protect his tomb after his death.

Lost in Time

The soldiers in Xi'an's terracotta museum are today light brown, but they weren't always. They began as an army of red, blue, yellow, green, white, and purple. Sadly, most of the colors did not last to the present day. After being exposed (暴露) to air during digging, the coating under the paint began to fall off. The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg, taking away with it important pieces of history.

New Technology

Now new technology is starting to show the army's true colors. Archeologists (考古学家) have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers. Many of these still have their painted features, including black hair, pink faces, and black or brown eyes. Chinese and German researchers have developed a chemical liquid (液体) to help save the soldiers' colors. After finding a soldier or another art piece, archeologists put the liquid on it. They then cover it in plastic.

Back to Life

Archeologists are also finding colors in the dirt around the soldiers. It's important not to do anything with the dirt, so the colors won't be lost. "We are treating the dirt as an art piece, "says Rong Bo, the museum's leading archeologist. The next challenge, says Rong Bo, is to find a way to use the colors onto the army-again. Once that happens, artists can bring Emperor Qin's army back to its full, bright colors.

(1)、What is the passage mainly about?
A、The death of Emperor Qin Shihuang. B、How the terracotta army was colored. C、The true colors of the terracotta soldiers. D、How the soldiers lived during Qin Dynasty.
(2)、What does the underlined word "they" in the passage refer to?
A、Archeologists. B、Artists. C、Researchers. D、Soldier.
(3)、Which statement would Rong Bo probably agree?
A、The soldiers should stay in their present, brown color. B、People should try to bring back the army's bright colors. C、Archeologists can only guess at the soldiers' true colors. D、Artists should be able to paint the soldiers in colors they want.

My Brothers

I have twin(双胞胎) brothers, Tim and Tom. They are very similar and a lot of people don't know which twin is which. They {#blank#}1{#/blank#} have blond hair and blue eyes, and they always wear jeans and T-shirts.

Although(尽管) they are twins, they aren't the same in every way. Tim works hard at school, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Tom doesn't. He's a little lazy.

Our mother is often away from home {#blank#}6{#/blank#} she travels a lot in her job. We all help in the house. Most of the time it is fine, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}sometimes we fight(争吵) a bit.

Where has the Time gone?is the hottest song that has moved thousands of Chinese. Chinese parents give their children endless love and ask nothing in return. However, sometimes, daughters and sons are too busy growing up and forget that their parents are getting older and older. What should we do? Let's have a look at a l{#blank#}1{#/blank#} of a father's. 

Dear son,

One day if you see me old and I am not myself, have patience and try to understand me. If I get dirty when eating…, if I cannot dress…, have patience. Remember the hours I spent t{#blank#}2{#/blank#} it to you. 

If, when I speak to you, I say the same things one thousand and one times, do not stop me and l{#blank#}3{#/blank#} to me. When you were small, I had to read to you one thousand and one times the same story until you get to sleep. 

When I do not want to have a shower, neither shame(羞辱) me nor scold(责备) me. Remember when I had to chase you with a thousand excuses I invented, in order that you wanted to bath. 

When you see me meet something n{#blank#}4{#/blank#}, give me the necessary time and don't laugh at me. I taught you how to do so many things… to eat well, to dress well… to face life. 

If I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well when I need to and when not. When my legs do not allow me to walk, give me your h{#blank#}5{#/blank#} the same way I did when you gave your first steps. 

When sometimes I lose the memory during our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember. And if I cannot do it, do not become nervous b{#blank#}6{#/blank#} the most important thing is not my conversation but to be with you and to have you listen to me. 

Yours, 

Father

 阅读下列短文,从下面每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

Sergio is from Cuba(古巴). He was excited to visit Chengdu last summer vacation because he is fond of pandas. Yeah, pandas are his favorite animals. Even his social media account(社交账户)is called Panda Latino!

Not surprisingly, Sergio took a trip to Chengdu and his first stop was the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding(成都大熊猫培育基地). There he took quite a few photos of pandas. He also learned a lot about their favorite food bamboo. 

In Chengdu, bamboo products are everywhere in people's everyday life, like bamboo tables, chairs and bags. The next stop of Sergio's trip was the Bamboo Art Village. There he learned how to make a bamboo panda, but it was not easy for him. 

Then the man got to the Chengdu Botanical Garden (植物园). There he saw many kinds of plants. A worker there showed him another good place to enjoy the beauty of plants, so he made his way to Xiling Snow Mountain. The mountain is home to over 2, 000 different plants. Wild pandas live in the mountain, too. What's more, it is a good place for people to do snow sports in winter. 

Sergio' s last stop was the International Horticulture Exhibition(世界园艺博览会) in Chengdu. There he enjoyed flowers from all over the world. 

Sergio really had an enjoyable time in Chengdu!
