Shanxi province nurtures an ancient civilization in the midsection of the Yellow River, with picturesque natural scenery and cultural relics that showcase its important role in Chinese history.
China’s second largest waterfall, the Hukou, is located on the border of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, about 45 kilometers from Jixian county, Linfen city.
Hukou, which literally means the spout of a teapot, vividly describes the magnificent scene when the 400-meter-wide Yellow River is blocked by mountains and suddenly pours through a deep groove of 30 to 50 meters’ width.
【E1】______
Beyond the scenery, the Yellow River is the cradle of ancient Chinese civilization. Located in the northeast of Xiangfen county, Linfen city, the Taosi ruins span an area of about 2. 8 million square meters and a history of 4,100 to 4,300 years.
【E2】______
They believe that Taosi was the capital of the sage emperor Yao, who lived in the middle reaches of the Yellow River at that time. It is recorded Yao built his capital at Pingyang, the ancient name for Linfen, but there was no archaeological proof before. The new studies indicate the existence of a civilized and hierarchical society, with fortifications such as walls and moats, funerary objects of wood furniture and kitchenware, and function areas including a royal palace, living area for nobles and mausoleums.
In 1984, the earliest Chinese characters were found on a pottery in the ruins. Experts identified one character as wen (literary), and argued the others looked like yao (the emperor Yao), yi (change)and ming (life).
【E3】______
In the Tang Dynasty (AD 618—907), Emperor Li Longji ordered the fabrication of eight iron oxen and eight iron men on the banks of the Yellow River, which were used to rivet the pontoon bridge of an ancient ferry, now long gone. The figures were later buried by silt as the river shifted: they were rediscovered in 1988 in Yongji city, Shanxi province.
Each ox is about 1. 9 meters tall, 3 meters long and 1. 3 meters wide, and weighs 40 tons. Under each tail is a horizontal shaft to fix the bridge. 【E4】______The oxen look muscular and majestic, stretching their chests and hind legs. It took seven years to remove rust from the sculptures and build a platform 12. 2 meters above the original site for visitors. The remaining four pairs of man and beast are located about 360 meters away and remain underground.
Those who want to worship at temples can visit Yongji city’s Pujiu Temple, the place where the love story of the drama Romance of the West Chamber took place in the Tang Dynasty.
Yuncheng city, only one hour’s drive from Yongji city, is home to the largest Guandi Temple in China. It’s dedicated to Guan Yu, a famous general during the Three Kingdoms Period (AD 220—280), who was born in Yuncheng.
【E5】______Iron figures of men with lions on the temple grounds indicate that foreign envoys presented lions as gifts to the Chinese nation.
If you go, Linfen city is more than 260 kilometers from Taiyuan, the capital city of Shanxi province. Yongji city is about 200 km from Linfen city and 60 km from Yuncheng city. It’s convenient to take trains or drive to these cities.
Question 61—65
Choose from the sentences A—G the one which best fits each gap of 61—65. There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use.
A. Tang Dynasty of Ancient China, a time of peace, prosperity, and inventions such as gunpowder, printing, and porcelain.
B. In winter, the waterfall turns into a frozen world of ice pillars and columns—a different kind of natural beauty.
C. Originally built in AD 589, the traditional complex has been rebuilt and expanded in the following centuries.
D. The local government has applied to build a national park on the Taosi site to protect the ruins, display the various antiques and promote the archaeological discoveries.
E. An ox, also known as a bullock in Australia and India, is a bovine trained as a draft animal.
F. Archaeologists have researched the site since 1978 and announced their discoveries.
G. At present, half of the iron figures no longer guard the Yellow River, but stand on the ground as relics of the ancient ferry. [br] 【E2】
选项
答案

解析
空白处前一段介绍了临汾市塔西遗址,下一段提到“他们”认为塔西是当时居住在黄河中游的圣人尧的都会。F选项中考古学家自1978年宣布研究遗址并公开了他们的发现符合上下文,故正确答案为F。
