【原文·时文阅读】
文章来源:https://newsforkids.net/articles/2025/10/22/thieves-steal-french-crown-jewels-from-louvre/
On Sunday, a group of thieves used a truck with a ladder on it to get into the Louvre museum in Paris. They
then broke into display cases and stole several important items from the French crown jewels. So far, no one has
been arrested.
The Louvre is the world’s largest and most popular museum. The museum is located in a huge palace in Paris
that was once home to the kings of France. Today, it holds over 33,000 pieces of art, including the famous Mona
Lisa. In the summer, the museum can have more than 30,000 visitors a day.
But on Sunday, the museum had the wrong kind of visitors. Around 9:30 in the morning, soon after the
museum opened, thieves drove up to the building in a truck with a ladder on it. Two of the thieves used the ladder
读时文精读
to climb to a second-floor balcony. There, they used an electric tool to break a window, and climbed into the
museum.
The break-in set off alarms, but it also allowed the thieves into a huge, fancy room called the Gallery of
Apollo. That’s where the Louvre holds a collection of French crown jewels – jewels that once belonged to the
French royal family.
The museum had five people working in the area where the theft happened. The two thieves threatened the
guards, who focused on making sure other museum visitors were safe.
The thieves broke the glass of two display cases and grabbed several of the crown jewels. These included a
sapphire tiara (a piece of jewelry shaped like a small crown) with a necklace and an earring that went with it. They
also took an emerald necklace, along with the earrings that went with it, as well as a second tiara that had belonged
to Empress Eugénie.*
In about seven minutes, the thieves climbed back out of the museum, where two people were waiting for them
with motor scooters. All of the thieves got away.
In their hurry to escape, the thieves dropped a crown with over 1,300 diamonds that had belonged to Empress
Eugénie.
The police are still looking for the thieves, but so far, no one has been arrested. The police believe that the
thieves were very skilled and had done similar crimes before. Experts say that police will have to work quickly,
since the thieves are likely to break up the jewels into smaller pieces to make them easier to move and sell.
The theft is a big loss for France. The jewels were a symbol of France’s history and culture. French President
Emmanuel Macron said the robbery was an “attack” on the history of France. He promised that the stolen items
would be returned and that the people responsible would be punished.
Mr. Macron had planned to improve security at the museum, but the help came too late. The Louvre was
closed on Monday and Tuesday, as museums across France were being encouraged to check their security.

周日,一群小偷用一辆带梯子的卡车进入巴黎的卢浮宫博物馆。他们随后撬开陈列柜,从法国皇冠珠宝中
偷走了几件重要的物品。到目前为止,还没有人被逮捕。
卢浮宫是世界上最大、最受欢迎的博物馆。该博物馆位于巴黎的一座巨大的宫殿里,那里曾经是法国国王
的家。如今,它收藏了超过3.3 万件艺术品,包括著名的《蒙娜丽莎》。在夏天,该博物馆每天可以接待超过
3 万名游客。
但周日,博物馆的访客类型却大相径庭。上午9 点半刚过开馆时间,几名盗贼驾驶一辆带梯子的卡车驶入
馆内。其中两人借助梯子登上二楼阳台,用电动工具砸碎窗户后,便潜入了馆内。
这起入室盗窃不仅触发了警报,还让窃贼进入了名为阿波罗画廊的豪华大厅。卢浮宫的法国王室珠宝收藏
就存放于此,这些珍宝曾属于法国王室。
博物馆有五人在失窃现场工作。两名小偷威胁了警卫,而警卫则专注于确保其他博物馆游客的安全。
盗贼砸碎了两个展示柜的玻璃,抢走了多件皇冠珠宝。其中包括一顶蓝宝石制成的头冠(一种形似小皇冠
的首饰)、配套的项链和耳环。他们还顺走了祖母绿项链、配套耳环,以及属于欧仁妮皇后的第二顶头冠。*
大约七分钟后,盗贼们从博物馆爬出,发现有两人正骑着摩托车等候。所有盗贼最终都成功逃脱。
在仓皇逃亡时,盗贼们遗落了一顶镶嵌着1300 多颗钻石的皇冠,这顶皇冠原属欧仁妮皇后。
警方仍在追捕这些窃贼,但截至目前尚未有人落网。警方认为,这些窃贼技术高超,且此前曾犯过类似罪
行。专家指出,警方必须迅速行动,因为窃贼很可能会将珠宝切割成更小的碎片,以便于转移和出售。
这起盗窃案给法国造成了巨大损失。这些珠宝是法国历史和文化的象征。法国总统马克龙表示,这起抢劫
是对法国历史的“攻击”。他承诺,失窃物品将被归还,责任人将受到惩罚。
马克龙原计划加强博物馆安保,但援助来得太迟。卢浮宫于周一和周二闭馆,法国各地博物馆均被要求加
强安保措施。
Passage1 阅读理解
(2025·广西南宁市银海三雅学校高三英语高考模拟)
The Mogao Caves of Dunhuang, a treasure house of art of China, has been spanning over 1,000 years. The
art inside here covers more than ten major genres, such as architecture, stucco sculpture, wall paintings, silk
练好题精练
paintings, calligraphy woodblock printing, embroidery, literature, music and dance, and popular entertainment. But
all these only existed because of one man’s vision.
In 366 A.D., a monk named Le Zun looked across the river at dawn and saw a thousand Buddhas appear
on the golden cliff face of Mingsha mountain along the old Silk Road. The caves were then built by monks and
mostly sponsored by people such as wealthy merchants, foreign dignitaries, as well as Chinese emperors.
But when trade in the Silk Road stopped, Dunhuang was soon forgotten and eventually, the Mogao caves
were abandoned. The site however was still used as a place of worship by the local people of the 20th century when
there was renewed awareness in its presence once mere.
Most of the discoveries came from a Chinese Taoist monk named Wang Yuanlu who appointed himself as the
guardian. The caves at that time were badly ignored, but Monk Wang recognized their value and instituted a
program of restoration, funded by whatever donations he could gather.
He then made one of the great discoveries in Chinese archaeology ( 考古学): an amazing cache, of over
50,000 documents and paintings, which had been hidden in Mogao Cave #17. The cave #17 came to be known as
the Library Cave, which was walled up sometime early in the11th century. A number of theories have been
proposed as the reason for sealing the cave. One theory was that the cave had become a waste storeroom for
precious, damaged and used documents and holy equipment and then sealed perhaps when the place came under
threat. Another suggestion is that the cave was simply used as a book storehouse for documents which accumulated
over a century and a half, then sealed up when it became full. Others suggested that the monks hurriedly hid the
documents in advance of an attack by invaders.
1.What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.The legend of Mogao Caves.
B.The end of the old Silk Road.
C.The discovery of Mogao Caves.
D.The development of the Silk Road.
2.What did Wang Yuanlu do to restore the caves?
A.He evaluated their value.
B.He raised donations in different ways.
C.He sent guards to protect them.
D.He persuaded government to do repairs.
3.What does the text come from?
A.Traditional culture.
B.history book.
C.biography. D.science fiction.
4.Why is Mogao Cave #17 considered a great discovery?
A.It used to be a library for monks.
B.It stored valuable historical materials.
C.It had a history of over 1000 years.
D.It was deserted for mysterious reasons.
【长难句分析】
【文章原句】Another suggestion is that the cave was simply used as a book storehouse for documents which

【翻译】另一个建议是,这个洞穴只是被用作一个文件仓库,这些文件在一个半世纪里不断积累,然后在它

(2026·辽宁省七校协作体高三上学期期初联考)
Long-legged and fair-haired, the Barbie doll has become a symbol of children’s toys in the West. But more
than 1,000 years ago, a doll that became popular in China was just as attractive.
Beijing silk figurines (北京绢人) are made from thin silk, gauze (纱罗) and damask (锦缎) and designed
with detailed facial expressions. With their delicate craftsmanship and cultural meaning, the art of making them was
listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2021.
Jiao Tianqi, 30, has spent six years learning and preserving the craft. “For many, these silk figurines are just
art pieces, but to me, they are like my children,” Jiao expressed.
Creating a silk figurine has complex steps, including designing, painting, making clothes and props (道具).
“Each step requires the greatest patience and love,” Jiao added.
Before making a figurine, the artist must design it and make sure the head-to-body ratio is correct.
“According to aesthetic standards, for a standing silk figurine, the head-to-body ratio is 1:7; for a seated position, it
is 1:5,” Jiao said. But since most traditional silk figurines are 80 to 100 centimeters tall, every part is small. “A
slight tremor (哆嗦) means starting over,” she said.
Because silk figurines often show noblewomen or characters from classic literature, artists try to express
their cultural spirit.
“When making Wang Xifeng from Dream of the Red Chamber , we referenced the 1987 TV adaptation for
her multiple hairpin (发簪) look to show her status as an important figure in the Jia family,” Jiao explained. “For
Lin Daiyu, we reflected her identity as a dependent through her gestures, such as lowering her head and frowning.”
This requires reading to understand the culture behind the characters.
Since making silk figurines takes time and effort, few continue the craft. “Due to expensive materials, silk
figurines are costly, and we often don’t know if they will sell,” Jiao said. “Nowadays, people prefer quick money,
so out of 100 people who come to learn, only one or two persist in carrying on the tradition.”
To address this, Jiao and her team work with people from all walks of life to raise awareness. They’re also
exploring AI technology to make design and material analysis more accurate and affordable.
5.What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Beijing silk figurines?
A.Their special qualities and cultural importance.
B.What has made them so popular in China.
C.The step-by-step process of creating them.
D.How they differ from Western Barbie dolls.
6.According to Jiao, what is extremely important when creating silk figurines?
A.Curiosity and creativity.
B.A basic sense of aesthetics.
C.Patience and passion.
D.A strong team spirit.
7.Why does the author mention Wang Xifeng and Lin Daiyu in paragraph 7?
A.To present typical characters represented in silk figurines.
B.To stress the cultural significance of silk figurines.
C.To show how TV adaptations influence traditional art.
D.To illustrate how silk figurines reflect cultural characteristics.
8.Why do few people continue the craft of making silk figurines?
A.The materials are difficult to find.
B.They lack interest in classic literature.
C.They fail to recognize its cultural value.
D.High costs and uncertain sales discourage them.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Chinese textiles have a rich, remarkable history that stretches back millennia, telling
1
(fascinate)
tales of their most ancient civilizations. Indigo (靛蓝色) is a vital part of this history. Natural indigo-dye (染色) has
a long history in China, dating back to the Qin and Han dynasties, and indigo-dyed cloth
2
(use) as a
main material for clothes for at least 1,000 years.
Here in Dali,
3
ancient ethnic Dong village
4
(situate) in the southern Chinese province
ofGuizhou, making indigo cloth has long been a part of life, no less important to the Dong people than
5
(farm) rice. Even in this era of fast fashion, many Dong women still devote countless hours to making the dark,
glossy cloth. The fabric must go through multiple
6
(procedure) before it can be used to create traditional
Dong cotton garments — navy blue costumes with colourful flower trim for the women and plain indigo for the
men.
However, these old craft skills have come under threat in recent decades. With youth drawn to China’s
growing cities, few young Dong women are left in villages like Dali. Of those
7
remain, even fewer
show interest

learning the labor- intensive techniques of indigo dyeing.
Hoping to save Dali’s folk traditions, provincial officials in 2011

Fund, a preservation organization based in California. It has begun working with Atlas Studio, a Beijing- based
design studio,
10
(set) up a weaving and dyeing co-op (合作性商业机构) in Dali. The aim is twofold: to
create opportunities to work closer to home and to persuade young Dong women to learn their time- honored
traditions.
