问题     More than 10 million Chinese cultural relics have been lost overseas, lots 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 account 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 of recovering 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, the 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 Forces over 160 years ago. Macao entrepreneur Stanley Ho donated over 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 that are lost overseas. It has started a national project on the recovery of the treasures and has set up a database 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.
We can learn from the passage that________.
选项 A、China has enough money to buy all the lost 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
答案B
解析 根据最后一段内容可知，近年来，中国政府采取了许多行动来追回流失海外的珍贵文物：启动国家项目，建立数据库，签署国际协议，与国际组织密切合作，所以B项正确。根据第四段最后一句“…limited funding is always a big headache. ”可知，虽然回购这种方法最可行，但有限的资金始终是令人头痛的大问题，即中国目前还没有足够的钱将所有文物购回，所以A项不正确；C项在文中并未提及；根据最后一段第二句“…has set up a database collecting relevant information. ”可知，中国已经建立了一个数据库来收集相关信息，而不是还在准备中，所以D项不正确。故选B。
