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.
What is the passage mainly about?
选项 A、The ways to recover cultural relics.
B、The efforts to recover Chinese cultural relics.
C、Stanley Ho donated the bronze pig’s head to Beijing.
D、Chinese cultural relics were stolen by the Anglo-French Allied Forces.
答案B
解析 通读全文可知，第一、二段陈述了中国大量珍贵文物流失海外的现状；第三、四段以何鸿巢捐钱购买猪首铜像为例，说明回购是收回遗失珍品最可行的方法，但有限的资金也是一个大问题；最后一段列出了近年来中国政府针对这一问题采取的行动。因此B项(收回中国文物的努力)最能概括本文的主要内容。A项未点明中国；C、D两项是文中的部分内容，不能概括全文。故选B。
