四、阅读短文，根据短文内容选择正确答案。
In 1929，Sanxingdui was first found in Southwest China's Sichuan province，but its importance was not accepted until 57 years later when ancient city walls，palaces，gold ivory and bronze artworks have been unearthed here.
In 2001，archaeologists（考古学家）found the remains of another ancient city called Jinsha near Chengdu. They found a gold object with a similar pattern of fish，arrows and birds as other gold ones found at Sanxingdui. For this reason，some people believe the people from Sanxingdui may have moved their homes to Jinsha.
But it remains a mystery. The following is some information that might help us find the facts.
In 1099 BC，ancient writers recorded an earthquake in the capital of the Zhou Dynasty，in present-day Shaanxi Province. Though that area is about 400 kilometres from Sanxingdui，it is possible that the center of the earthquake was actually close to Sanxingdui.
Around the same time，the dirt showed that there was possibly a great flood. In the Han Dynasty book The Chronicles of the Kings of Shu，it is written that ancient floods poured from a mountain，which shows the river moved in a new direction.
Together，the ideas lead people to believe that possibly a large earthquake caused a landslide. This changed the river's path（路线）and stopped the water from moving to Sanxingdui. That may have forced the ancient Chinese people to leave their homes to move closer to the river's new path. Living near water was very important at that time. The people had to get water from the river and carry it to their homes to drink，cook and wash.
