25、① Sixty-eight cultural relics (文物) that were recently returned to China were warmly welcomed by Chinese people.

② The relics, which were smuggled (走私) to the United Kingdom in the past, arrived in Beijing on Oct 20. These relics include a number of fine works of art such as plates and teacups. Dating back to a time lasting from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Qing Dynasty (朝代), they come from many different provinces, including Fujian, Hebei and Guizhou.

③ Back in 1995, British police found these relies while investigating (调查) an international relic-smuggling group. After learning of the discovery, China set up a special working group to bring the items home.

④ However, a local buyer of the relics didn’t agree to return them, so British police held the relics for 25 years. But communication between the Chinese and British governments never stopped.

⑤ In January, the British police told China that the local buyer was missing and that the relics therefore had no owner. The UK offered to return the relics to China, Global Times noted.

⑥ In the history, it has not been easy to fight the crime of cultural relic smuggling, but this time it was successful. The return is a successful example of cooperation (合作) between China and the UK in fighting cultural relic smuggling under the 1970 Convention (公约) which requires its members to take action to protect relics.

⑦ Not only is the 1970 Convention helping cultural relics return to their countries, China is also taking action. Over the past 20 years, China has worked to protect and recover cultural relics. In recent years, it has become more common for people to purchase cultural relics and give them to museums for free. For example, a famous Chinese businessman Stanley Ho purchased Qing Dynasty bronze statues in 2003 and 2007 and then donated them to the National Museum of China.

【1】According to the first three paragraphs, the 68 cultural relics ________.

A．were sold online to the UK

B．arrived in Beijing on Oct 20

C．are fine works of art from two dynasties

D．will be returned to different provinces later

【2】What does the underlined word “purchase” probably mean in the last paragraph?

A．保护

B．制作

C．购买

D．发现

【3】What is the best title for the passage?

A．The History of Chinese Relics

B．The Return of Smuggled Cultural Relics to China

C．The Role of the UK in Protecting Cultural Relics

D．The Famous Relics of the National Museum of China

【4】Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

A．①②/③④⑤⑥/⑦

B．①②/③④⑤/⑥⑦

C．①/②③④/⑤⑥⑦

D．①/②③/④⑤⑥⑦
