D
The first emperor(皇帝) 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(兵马俑). These, he hoped, would pro tect his tomb(坟墓) 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 they were 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 (特征), 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 they find a soldier or another art piece, archeologists put the liquid on it. They then cover it in plastic(塑料).
Back to Life
Archeologists are also finding colors in the dirt(灰尘) 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(挑战), 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.
32. 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 the Qin Dynasty.
33. Why are the soldiers in Xi’an’s terracotta museum today light brown
A. Because they are too old.
B. Because they lost their time.
C. Because their paint fell off.
D. Because they took away the history.
34. What does the underlined word“They”in the passage refer to
A. Archeologists. B. Artists.
C. Researchers. D. Soldiers.
35. Which statement(陈述) 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.
四、阅读还原7选5(每小题2分,共10分)
No one knows why we sleep. 36 If people do not have enough sleep, they may think less clearly, or sleep during the working hours.
37 Generally speaking, grown-ups(成年人) sleep about 7 and a half hours each night. And more than 60 percent of them get seven to eight hours. But 8 percent are quite happy with five hours or less, and 4 percent find that they want to sleep ten hours or more. If you feel all right, maybe you're getting enough sleep. The important thing is not to worry how much other people get——your needs may be different. 38 For example, office workers and factory workers sleep for about the same time.
39 They need about 14 to 18 hours soon after birth. Then the sleep time becomes less and less as they grow up.
Old people may sleep less at night than young people. 40
A. Children sleep more.
B. But we know sleep is important.
C. Boys often sleep more than girls.
D. But they often take a sleep at noon.
E. It's hard to say how much sleep we need.
F. Sleep is not important for the young people.
G. Exercise does not make you need more sleep.
五、完形填空(每小题1分,共10分)
Do you think you can have only one job in your lifetime This is not 41 , but lots of people think so. For example, when young students decide 42 to learn in college, they think the decisions they make now will decide their jobs for the rest of their lives. However, here are many examples in which people achieved 43 dreams after changing their jobs later in life. Former President(前总统) of the US, Ronald Reagan, began as an act or when he was a young man. Later, he decided to do political work. The love 44 it finally led him to become President of the United States.

It was only 10 years before he died that he decided to become an artist. J. K. Rowling is the writer of the famous 47 Harry Potter. She used to be a school teacher before she 48 writing books. In fact, she was out of work before the first book Harry Potter came out. Now we know jobs can be 49 . The 50 thing is to find what you are really good at or what you really want to do. Once you find what you love, it's all a matter of how hard you try.
