The first emperor of China, Qin Shihuang, accomplished a huge amount during his rule. Between 221 and 210 B.C., he started the construction of the Great Wall. He built a large network of roads. He introduced a new writing system, currency(货币), and a set of measurement. The emperor also ordered the construction of a huge army of life-sized terracotta soldiers. These, he hoped, would protect his tomb after his death.
The soldiers in Xi’ an’s Emperor Qinshihuang’s Mausoleum Site 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 being exposed to air during excavation (挖掘), the coating under the paint began to fall off. The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg, taking with it important pieces of history.
Now new techniques are starting to reveal the army’s true colors. Archaeologists have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers. Many of them still have their painted features, including black hair, pink faces, and black or brown eyes. Chinese and German researchers have developed a special liquid to help preserve the soldiers’ colors. After they find a soldier or other artifacts(手工艺品), archaeologists spray it with the liquid. They, then, cover it in plastic.
Archaeologists are also finding colors in the dirt around the soldiers. It’s important not to disturb the dirt, so the colors won’t be lost. " We are treating the earth as an artifact," says archaeologist Rong Bo, the museum’s leading chemist. The next challenge, says Rong, is to find a way to apply the colors to the army again. Once that happens, artists can bring Emperor Qin’s army back to life in full, vivid color.
What is TRUE about terracotta in Paragraph 2?
选项
A、The colors disappeared very slowly.
B、The soldiers’ paint fell off because of the high temperature.
C、Most of the original colors have not been kept till today.
D、The history of the Qin dynasty disappeared.
答案
C
解析
根据第二段第二、三句“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. ”可知,兵马俑开始时有红色、蓝色、黄色等颜色;不幸的是,大多数颜色没有保存到现在。故选C。
