The largest-ever chariot pit (戰(zhàn)車坑) of relics with carts and horse bones has been discovered in Henan Province. It may lead to the uncovering of chariot pit groups that could be a key to understanding Chinese civilizations that existed more than 2,000 years ago.

 Experts said the relics are dated more than 300 years earlier than the famous warriors (武士) in Shaanxi Province. What excited the experts were two other projects that located two huge pits with similar features.

 “It is absolutely a miracle. These relics indicate that there could be a tomb group in this area, which is likely to be important for China’s archaeological (考古學(xué)的) studies,” said Ma Juncai, a leading relic researcher in the province.

 In ancient China, carts, sheep, spoons and so on were buried to ensure that dead people had a happy afterlife. The number and quality of the sacrifices indicated the social status of the dead. The custom was carried into the Qin Dynasty. Emperor Qinshihuang’s tomb, located near Xi’an, the capital of Shaanxi Province, is accompanied by thousands of wood or clay figures of warriors and horses. The tomb is probably the most well-known.

 The discovered pit measures 10.4 meters long, 8.4 meters wide and 5 meters deep. It holds 20 carts in different sizes. The smallest one is 1.05 meters long and 1.3 meters wide.

 Experts think that 40 horses are likely to be found as well. Careful plans need to be made to deal with the demanding uncovering. “The clay is very weak and a small misstep can destroy the whole project. That’s why we need to take every step very carefully to protect these cherished cultural relics,” Ma said.

What’s the passage mainly about?

  A. The dead people’s sacrifices in ancient China.

  B. China’s archaeological studies.

  C. The discovery of a large chariot pit in Henan.

 D. The history of Chinese civilizations.

According to Ma Juncai, the uncovering of the three pits is a miracle because _______.

  A. it shows there may be a tomb group there

  B. it’s helpful in discovering Emperor Qinshihuang’s tomb

  C. the relics are dated such a long time ago

  D. the relics are more than 300 years older than the ones in Shaanxi

It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that ______.

A. all dead people had sacrifices in ancient China

B. the discovered pit is the most well-known in the world

C. the discovered pit dates back to the Qin Dynasty

D. Emperor Qinshihuang wanted to maintain his power after death

Careful plans for the uncovering are needed because ______.

  A. another 40 horses are likely to be found as well

  B. the whole uncovering could be destroyed easily

  C. experts are too busy to spare time for it

  D. the government hasn’t agreed to it

Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

  A. The discovery has drawn the leading experts’ attention.

  B. A lot of cultural relics have been discovered in Henan.

  C. 40 horses have been discovered together with the chariot pit.

  D. The discovered carts in the chariot pit are similar in size.

China may be the world's most populous country ,and it won the most gold medals at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. But its prowess at soccer is lamentable. China is ranked 84th in the sport's world standing.

Chinese are huge soccer fans, and hundreds of millions are expected to tune in to the World Cup, with all the matches broadcast live on public TV. But this time the Chinese don't have their own team to root for.

"Chinese have a reputation of being good at math, but they have trouble explaining why a population of 1.3 billion cannot produce a winning 11-member soccer team," said Xu Guoqi, a history professor at the University of Hong Kong. Journalists and soccer fans offer a number of reasons, most often money issues, politics, corruption(腐敗)and culture, and sometimes a combination of the four.

Even though China now boasts wealthy companies and individuals who could sponsor(贊助) teams, there is little support as long as Chinese teams are perceived as perennial losers. "This is a very bad circle," Ma said. "No results, no money. No money, no results."

Few Chinese children are playing soccer. Some sports journalists and fans attribute the lack of interest partly to schools de-emphasizing sports in general and the lack of playing venues in the country's dense urban areas. "What can Chinese kids do?” said Fan Huiming, 61, a Chinese soccer fan who grew up watching matches at Beijing's Workers' Stadium, which was built in 1958 near his childhood home. "If they play soccer, the ball may fly directly into the glass of someone's home."

For young people, soccer has largely been eclipsed by basketball, thanks in part to Chinese NBA players who are treated like rock stars. Journalists and fans say NBA's aggressive campaign of marketing and merchandise in China has helped swell the popularity of basketball. By comparison, they noted that international soccer does not even have an office in China.

Rowan Simons, a Briton who came to China more than two decades ago and discovered he wasn't able to play weekend soccer, has been on a campaign to popularize the sport here. Simons said the main problem is that soccer elsewhere has traditionally started as a series of neighborhood clubs, but in China, "there's virtually no football at community level".

"Football in China can only succeed if it's a grass-roots activity organized by the people," he said.

1.This time the Chinese don't have their own team to root for in the World Cup because__________.

A.China is ranked 84th in soccer 's world standing.

B.they are angry about why China cannot produce a winning soccer team.

C.the Chinese huge soccer fans support other soccer teams.

D.the Chinese soccer team is not capable to go as far as the final part of the World Cup.

2.Why are few Chinese children playing soccer?

A.No results, no money. No money, no results.

B.If the footballs fly directly into the glass of someone's home,they’ll be criticised.

C there is little support from wealthy companies and individuals sponsoring teams.

D.schools don’t pay much attention on sports and they lack playing venues in dense urban areas.

3.The underlined word“eclipsed”in the six paragraph can be replaced by      .

A.occupied.

B.beaten.

C.led.

D.compared.

4.According to Rowan,what can be inferred ?

A.NBA players are more popular than soccer players in China.

B.The future of Chinese football is rather promising.

C.Chinese football should get into the life of ordinary people to survive.

D.Grass-roots Chinese football players can be popular .
