About 1. 67 million pieces are housed in no more than 200 museums in 47 countries, which accounts for 10 percent of all lost Chinese cultural relics, and the rest are in the hands of private collectors. Most of these treasures are owned by museums or private collectors in the United States, Europe, Japan and Southeast Asian countries. There are more than 23,000 pieces in the British Museum, most of which were stolen or bought for pennies more than 100 years ago. The major method to recover these national treasures was to buy them back. In some cases, private collectors donated the relics to the government. Also the government can turn to official channels to demand the return of relics. In 2003, a priceless bronze pigs head dating from the Qing Dynasty was returned to its home in Beijing after it was removed by the Anglo-French Allied Army over 140 years ago. Macao entrepreneur(企业家) Stanley Ho donated 6 million yuan to buy it back from a US art collector and then donated it to the Poly Art Museum in Beijing. Although buying-back is the most feasible way to recover the lost treasures, limited funding is always a big headache. In recent years, the Chinese government has improved efforts to recover the precious cultural relics lost overseas. It has started a national project on the recovery of the treasures and has set up a database(数据库) collecting relevant information. It has signed several international agreements with many countries on this matter, and is also looking for international cooperation to recover the relics by working closely with several international organizations.1.What is the passage mainly about?A.The ways to recover cultural relics.B.The efforts to recover Chinese cultural relics.C.Stanley Ho donated a bronze pig s head to Beijing.D.Chinese cultural relics were stolen by the Anglo-French Allied Army.2.We can infer from the passage that _.A.China has enough money to buy all the cultural relics back.B.The Chinese government has done a lot to recover the lost cultural relics.C.Many countries have returned the lost cultural relics to China for free.D.China is preparing to set up a database to collect information about the lost cultural relics.3.Which of the following statements about the bronze pigs head is NOT true?A.It was made in the Qing Dynasty.B.It is now in the Poly Art Museum in Beijing.C.It was donated by the French government to Qiina,D.It was removed by the Anglo-French Allied Army over 140 years ago.4.The underlined word feasible in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by _.A. possibleB. difficultC. wonderfulD. careful12、 Last night it was still light out when I returned home from work. My new neighbor and his son were in their favorite place, outside in the yard, playing ball. The young boy always reports to me how many home runs (本垒打) he hits and I always clap and cheer for him. These guys are something else. Where you see one of them, the other is not far away. The dad is always talking with the child, focusing on the child, not talking on a cell phone or walking ahead of the boy so that the child has to run to keep up with him. This guy is really good. It warms my heart to see a father and son enjoying each others company like they do. As they were returning to their upstairs apartment, and when the boy was out of earshot (在听力所及范围之外), I asked the dad if his son had a bike. He said no. I wasted no time driving to the store and I was excited as I picked out a bike which all the active kids like. I put the bike, helmet, bike lock and training wheels into my car and I went off. At home, I took out the bike and carried it upstairs to their apartment and left it outside the door. Not a light task for a 70-yea
