More than 10 million Chinese cultural relics have been lost overseas，most of which were stolen and illegally shipped out of China during the times of war before 1949.About 1.67 million pieces are housed in 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(渠道) to demand the return of relics.
In 2003，a priceless bronze pig’s 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.
5． What is the passage mainly about?
A．How 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.
6． Most of lost Chinese cultural relics ________.
A．have been recovered by the Chinese government
B．were bought for little money by foreigners
C．are owned by private collectors
D．are housed in foreign museums
7． Which of the following statements about the bronze pig’s 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 China.
D．It was removed by the Anglo-French Allied Army over 140 years ago.
8． The underlined word “feasible” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by “________”．
A．possible B．difficult
C．popular D．careful

Liverpool，my hometown，is a unique city.It is so unique that in 2004 it became a World Heritage(遗产) Site.
I recently returned to my home city and my first stop was at a museum on the River Mersey.Blanketed in mist(薄雾)，Victorian architecture rose from the banks of the river，responded to the sounds of sea-birds，and appeared unbelievably charming.When I headed toward the centre，I found myself surrounded by buildings that mirror the best palaces of Europe.It is not hard to imagine why，on first seeing the city，most visitors would be overpowered by the beauty of the noble buildings，which are solid signs of Liverpool’s history.
As if to stress its cultural role，Liverpool has more museums and galleries(美术馆) than most cities in Britain.At Walker Art Gallery，I was told that it has the best collections of Victorian paintings in the world，and is the home of modern art in the north of England.However，culture is more than galleries.Liverpool offers many music events.As Britain’s No.1 music city，it has the biggest city music festival in Europe，and its musicians are famous all over the world.Liverpool is also well-known for its football and other sports events.Every year，the Mersey River Festival attracts thousands of visitors，making the city a place of wonder.
As you would expect from such a city，there are restaurants serving food from around the world.When my trip was about to complete，I chose to rest my legs in Liverpool’s famous Philharmonic pub(酒馆)．It is a monument to perfection，and a heritage attraction itself.
Being a World Heritage Site，my home city is certainly a place of “outstanding universal value”．It is a treasure house with plenty of secrets for the world to explore.
1． Visitors who see the city for the first time would be deeply impressed by ________.
A．its charming banks

4． What is the passage mainly about?
A．The universal value of the world heritage in Liverpool.
B．The exciting experience of the author in Liverpool.
C．The special cultural atmosphere of Liverpool.

第三部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
No one can believe that the over 6,000-kilometer Great Wall might disappear some day.Believe it or not，the Great Wall is being destroyed by people.Less than 20 percent of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty，is still perfect，but 80 percent is in danger.The Great Wall can be called “great” mostly because of its amazing length.But we should realize the length is made up of one brick at a time.If we do nothing to save the Great Wall，it will become a series of separate wasteland rather than a historic site.
The Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over the past 2,000 years.It began in the rule of China’s first emperor，Qin Shihuang of the Qin Dynasty (221 BC—206 BC)，and lasted into the Ming Dynasty.The parts built before the Ming Dynasty have nearly disappeared.People are familiar with sections such as Badaling in Beijing and Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu，because they have been opened to tourists for many years.But those_sections_far_away_from_the_public_eyes have been almost forgotten.
Few local people knew the 3-meter-high walls made of earth and stones beside them are part of the Great Wall.The lack of knowledge is considered as one of the main reasons behind human.The bricks on the Great Wall are carried off by countryside people to build their houses，sheep corrals and pigsties.Some are taken away to build roads.Bricks carved with people’s names are put away as remembrances.Rubbish is spread over the battlements.The bricks can be sold for 15 yuan per tractor load.Those who destroyed and are destroying the Great Wall know its name，but are not clear about its cultural meaning.It will take a long time to let them know this.The local farmers not only carried off the body of the Great Wall but also dug out entire base.
It is necessary to protect the Great Wall.First of all，the officials should be aware of the importance of the Great Wall.Young Chinese should know more about the nation’s great civilization and learn to love it.
56．Why does the writer say the Great Wall might disappear?
A．It is useless from now on.
B．It will be replaced by a new one.
C．Some parts of it are being destroyed.

57．According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE?
A．The Great Wall was completed in the Ming Dynasty.
B．Not all the foreign tourists like the Great Wall.
C．The first part of the Great Wall was built in 221 BC.
D．The Qin Great Wall was protected well.
58．The underlined part “those sections far away from the public eyes” in Paragraph 2 refers to the parts of the Great Wall ________.
A．that are too difficult to find
B．that nobody can watch
C．that are too far to be seen
D．that are not well-known to the public
59．What’s the main reason of the Great Wall’s being destroyed?
A．The local people are short of culture knowledge.
B．The local people need bricks and stones to build houses.
C．The local people think that the Great Wall is not important.
D．The local people sell the bricks for a living.

Recently our school had a discussion about the music and art lessons for senior three students.Now I’ll talk about the results.
About 60% of students are in favor of the idea，saying that senior three students should have the lessons.They think the lessons can develop their imagination and make them more creative；besides，many scientists have benefited from them.
However，the others are against the idea.They believe it’s enough to learn main subjects well，and that music and art lessons are useless for them.
As far as I am concerned，we should have music and art lessons.As is mentioned above，they are good for us.They’re of great interest and can make us relaxed and study better.
