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.
The passage is mainly about________.
选项 A、the achievements of Emperor Qin
B、the original colors of terracotta soldiers
C、the soldiers’ life under Emperor Qin’s rule
D、the building of the terracotta soldiers
答案B
解析 通读全文可知，文章首先介绍了秦始皇统治期间的各种成就，并提及了兵马俑的建造；接着介绍了挖掘前后兵马俑的颜色变化；最后介绍了考古学家新发现了一个区域中有保留颜色的兵马俑，以及研究人员正在尝试重现兵马俑真正的颜色。因此，B项(兵马俑原来的颜色)最能概括文章的主要内容。故选B。
