In 1974, Chinese farmers got an amazing find in Shaanxi Province. They found a lot of clay soldiers. These clay soldiers are 2,200 years old. But their life-like looks make people surprised. They are called terracotta soldiers(兵马俑).
Then in 2007, workers in Shandong Province got another find. Once again, it was an army of terracotta soldiers. But this time they were smaller in size.
In 246 BCE, the building of the Terracotta Army began. It was under the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang. Shi Huang is remembered by Chinese people for many things. He unified China, although it broke apart not long after his death. He started to build the Great Wall. It took nearly 40 years and more than 700,000 workers to build his terracotta army. And there were not only soldiers in the army, but also horses!
The Qin Dynasty was followed by the Han Dynasty. The emperors also asked workers to build armies of terracotta soldiers. But the size of the clay model was much smaller and only 12 inches tall.

【分析】解答本题需先通读全文理解文章大意，再针对两道题目分别处理：第1题是细节理解题，需将每个选项与原文对应内容逐一比对，判断正误；第2题是主旨大意题，需梳理全文核心内容，归纳文章主题。
【解析】
第1题：逐一分析选项：
A. 由第二段“this time they were smaller in size”可知，山东发现的兵马俑尺寸更小，A错误；
B. 陕西兵马俑发现于1974年，山东的发现于2007年，间隔为2007-1974=33年，并非50年，B错误；
C. 第三段提到秦朝修建兵马俑，第四段提到汉朝也修建兵马俑，C正确；
D. 第一段提到“their life-like looks make people surprised”，说明兵马俑看起来像真人，D错误。故第1题选C。
第2题：梳理全文内容，文章围绕中国的兵马俑展开，介绍了兵马俑的发现、修建朝代等相关信息：A选项仅涉及秦始皇，是文章的部分内容；B选项长城与文章核心无关；D选项仅提及陕西和山东的士兵，表述片面。因此文章主旨是中国的兵马俑，故第2题选C。
【答案】1.C 2.C
【知识点】英语阅读理解、细节理解、主旨大意
【点评】本题为英语阅读理解题，考查细节定位和主旨归纳能力，内容贴近文化常识，难度适中，适合初中阶段学生练习。
