五、[2025 西安铁一中滨河校区一模]阅读理解
Do you know what people were like in ancient China? And what was considered the standard for a handsome man back then? You may find the answer in the Terracotta Army in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province.
If you have already visited this cultural site, you might have noticed that the terracotta soldiers have broad foreheads and small eyes. They and their war horses together made up a great terracotta army.
The story goes back to the Warring States Period. At that time, China was divided into several states. The states were often at war with one another. About 2,200 years ago, Ying Zheng, king of the Qin Dynasty, was finally able to unify (统一) all of the states. Later, he ordered people to build his tomb (墓穴) and a terracotta army to guard it. The workers used clay to make the terracotta soldiers and horses. The “guarding” army was built in the model and style of the Qin army.
In 1974, locals in Xi'an discovered the site of the tomb when trying to dig wells in the area. The whole site of the tomb covers about 20,000 square meters. So far, more than 8,000 terracotta soldiers and horses have been found. People have also found thousands of bronze weapons (青铜兵器) at the site. Some of the weapons are still very sharp even after having been buried for over 2,000 years.
However, it only makes up a small part of the emperor's tomb. There are many more stories waiting to be discovered and solved!
