情境 素材 三星堆 三星堆 「2026江西南昌月考联考改编」
Sanxingdui flourished（繁荣） during the late Shang Dynasty and had a highly developed bronze culture. However, there is no written record of this civilization, so we once knew very little about it.
For decades, experts have been trying hard to solve the mysteries behind Sanxingdui. One major mystery is the sudden disappearance of the Sanxingdui civilization. Hundreds of jade, bronze, and valuable things were broken or burned and buried. Then the civilization disappeared completely. Where did its people go? What happened to them?
Around the same time, a similar civilization appeared in Jinsha, about 38 kilometres from Sanxingdui. Experts generally accept that the Jinsha civilization is a continuation（延续） of the Sanxingdui culture. However, the reason for the move remains a subject of discussion.
War? Floods? After the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, Fan Niannian, a scientist studying rivers at Sichuan University suggested that the actual cause might have been a major earthquake. He explained, “The earthquake may not have destroyed Sanxingdui directly. Instead, it could have caused a landslide（山崩） that changed the flow of the Minjiang River. This would have cut off the water supply. Without water, the Sanxingdui people had no choice but to move.”
Professor Fan’s idea makes sense, but it still doesn’t explain why they broke and buried their treasures instead of taking them away. Was it part of a sacrificial ceremony? There is evidence suggesting that they did not do it in a hurry—it was deliberate（故意的）. That’s what still remains so mysterious.
1.Why did Professor Fan Niannian think the Sanxingdui people might have moved?
A.Because a war destroyed their home.
B.Because a major earthquake cut off their water supply.
C.Because a flood buried their city.
D.Because they ran out of food and other resources.
2.We can infer from the passage that the author believes
A.the Sanxingdui civilization was completely destroyed by a war
B.experts have finally solved all the mysteries of Sanxingdui
C.the reason why treasures were buried deliberately is still unknown
D.the Jinsha civilization has no connection with Sanxingdui
3.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The importance of the Sanxingdui discovery.
B.The debate（争论） on whether the Sanxingdui people moved to Jinsha.
C.The possible reasons for and the remaining mysteries of Sanxingdui’s disappearance.
D.A detailed introduction to the bronze culture of the late Shang Dynasty.
4.特色 考法 创新性设问 The passage is mainly organized in the order of
A.Asking a question→Giving evidence→ Drawing a conclusion
B.Describing a mystery → Analyzing（分析） causes→Pointing out unsolved parts
C.Introducing history → Comparing past and present→Predicting the future
D.Telling a story→Listing data→Giving suggestions

1.B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The earthquake may not have destroyed Sanxingdui directly...This would have cut off the water supply. Without water, the Sanxingdui people had no choice but to move.”可知,范念念教授认为地震可能引发了山崩,改变了岷江的流向,切断了水源,三星堆人因缺水而不得不迁徙。故选B。
2.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“There is evidence suggesting that they did not do it in a hurry—it was deliberate. That's what still remains so mysterious.”可推知,作者认为三星堆人故意埋藏宝藏的原因仍然未知。故选C。
