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.
Which of the following statements about the bronze pig’s head is NOT true?
选项 A、It was made in the Qing dynasty.
B、It is now in the Poly Art Museum in Beijing.
C、It was donated by the French government to China.
D、It was removed by the Anglo-French Allied Forces.
答案C
解析 根据第四段第二句“Macao entrepreneur Stanley Ho donated over 6 million yuan to buy it back from a US art collector…”可知，猪首铜像是澳门企业家何鸿桑捐赠人民币600多万元，从一位美国艺术品收藏家手中购回并捐赠给北京保利艺术博物馆的，而不是法国政府将其捐赠给中国的，因此C项不正确。其他三项均可在第四段中找到依据。故选C。
