问题     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.
According to Rong Bo, ________.
选项 A、the soldiers’true colors can be restored
B、the earth around the soldiers is destroyed
C、archaeologists can only guess the soldiers’ original colors
D、artists should be able to paint the soldiers in any color they want
答案A
解析 根据最后一段倒数第二句“…is to find a way to apply the colors to the army again. ”可知，考古学家荣波认为下一个挑战是想办法把颜色重新涂到兵马俑上。由此可推知，他认为这些士兵的真正颜色能够被修复。故选A。
