阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项 (A 、B 、C D )中,选出最佳选项。

The ancient city of Xi'an in China holds many treasures. And last month, archaeologists working there made an important discovery—a buried palace built in the third century B.C. to honor China's first emperor.

The entire palace measures roughly 2,260 feet long by 820 feet wide. It includes 10 courtyard houses and one main building. Archaeologists found bricks and pieces of pottery at the site of the palace, as well as the remains of walls and roads.

The palace is part of the massive burial complex of Emperor Qin Shihuangdi. He conquered seven warring kingdoms and united ancient China in 211 B.C.

Qin Shihuangdi wanted his legacy, or accomplishments, to be remembered forever. So he hired more than 700,000 workers to build his funeral complex in Xi'an. It represents a miniature version of his vast kingdom.

The complex also includes the world-famous terra-cotta army, a collection of more than 8,000 life-size clay statues. These sculptures represent soldiers, acrobats, and horses from the Qin Dynasty (221 B.C.-206 B.C.). Scientists have not yet found all these terra-cotta warriors, even though they discovered more of the statues last summer.

Farmers discovered the complex by accident in 1974. Since then, scientists studying the site have learned a great deal about life in ancient China. But much of the emperor's tomb has yet to be dug up, or unearthed. Many of the artifacts (objects from the past) are so old that scientists cannot preserve them.

"Archaeologists fully acknowledge that nobody in the world has the technology (to safely dig up Xi'an's treasures) yet," explains Kristin Romey, an expert on Chinese archaeology.

But as technology improves, archaeologists will keep digging to uncover the rest of the wonders that still lie buried in Xi'an.

"It's one of the most important archaeological discoveries that's waiting to be made," says Romey, "and we know where it is."

【1】How long is the history of the newly found palace?

A. About 820 years.

B. About 2,000 years.

C. About 2,200 years.

D. About 2,400 years.

【2】Why did Qin Shihuang have people build his tomb?

A. To keep all of his treasures in store.

B. To expect people to remember him forever.

C. To prevent his body from disappearing soon.

D. To collect more than 8,000 life-size clay soldiers.

【3】What causes trouble to dig out the emperor's tomb?

A. The local government doesn't support it.

B. Archaeologists are in great need.

C. There isn't plenty of money.

D. Technology isn't advanced yet.

【4】What might be the most suitable title for the passage?

A. An Ancient Palace is Uncovered

B. More Terra-cotta Warriors Are Found

C. Archeologists Are Waiting to Dig a Tomb

D. Technology Helps Discover the New Wonder

Stephen Hawking is perhaps the world's most famous living physicist. To the public, he's best known as an author of bestsellers such as The Universe in a Nutshell and A Brief History of Time, which have brought an appreciation of theoretical (理论上的) physics to millions. He is regarded as having one of the brightest minds on the planet. But outstanding astrophysicist (天体物理学家) Stephen Hawking has admitted that he did not learn to read until he was eight years old.
In a public lecture at the Royal Albert Hall, Professor Hawking also admitted that he was not active in studying while at Oxford University, where he studied physics, and that only the news that he might die young from motor neurone (运动神经元) disease made him focus on his work.
Professor Hawking said, “My sister Philippa could read by the age of 4 but then she was brighter than me.” He said that he was common at school and was never further than halfway up his class. “My classwork was very untidy, and my handwriting was very bad in the teachers' eyes,” he said. “But my classmates gave me the name Einstein, so probably they saw signs of something better.”
But he said that it was when doctors told him that he probably only had a few years to live at the age of 21 that he began to focus on his work, which resulted in some of his early achievements. He said, “When you are faced with the possibility of an early death, it makes you realize that life is worth living and there are lots of things you want to do.” Hawking serves as Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, where he continues to contribute to both high-level physics and the popular understanding of our universe.
(1)When Stephen Hawking studied in Oxford University, he was ________ .
A.clever
B.lazy
C.bright
D.mean
(2)What made Stephen Hawking devote himself to his work?
A.Patience.
B.Knowledge.
C.Disease.
D.Laziness.
(3)From whom did Hawking get a fair judgment when he was at school?
A.His sister.
B.His classmates.
C.His teachers.
D.His parents.
(4)What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Hawking didn't realize his dreams in physics.
B.Hawking succeeded in overcoming the fear of an early death.
C.The purpose of the doctor was to encourage him to work hard.
D.The doctor warned Hawking that his life might be taken away by hard work.
