The Return of Lost Chinese Cultural Relics

On April 13, France passed a bill to make the return process easier for artifacts taken around the world between 1815 and 1972, including those taken from the Old Summer Palace (Yuanmingyuan) in 1860. The bill will go through a second review and be signed by the French president before it becomes law.

During his speech, French lawmaker Jeremie Patrier-Leitus quoted Victor Hugo’s 1861 letter on the looting of the Old Summer Palace: “One day will come when France, once freed and cleansed, will return this plunder to looted China”.

According to UNESCO data, about 1.67 million Chinese cultural relics are kept in 218 museums in 47 countries, and the number of relics in private collections overseas is 10 times as many. Lost cultural relics are an important part of culture and history, and it seems morally and legally right to return them to their original countries. However, it has long been a difficult problem due to many factors.

Despite these challenges, the Chinese government has been making great efforts to bring lost artifacts home. In 2019, the National Cultural Heritage Administration set up a special office for the return of lost cultural relics. From 2021 to 2025, 537 pieces of lost cultural relics, including the Yuanmingyuan stone columns, were returned to China.

Answer the question:

1. When did France pass the bill to simplify the return process of looted artifacts?
   __________________________________________________________________
2. Which period of artifacts does the new French bill apply to?
   __________________________________________________________________
3. According to UNESCO data, how many Chinese cultural relics are stored in overseas museums?
   __________________________________________________________________
4. What measure did the Chinese government take in 2019 to recover lost cultural relics?
   __________________________________________________________________
5. Do you think returning all lost cultural relics to their original countries is realistic? Why or why not? (Give at least one reason.)

【导语】          本文是一篇新闻报道，主要介绍了法国通过的简化 1815 至 1972 年间掠夺文物归还程序的法案，分析了流失文物归还面临的法律和现实障碍，并介绍了中国政府在文物追索方面的积极行动和成果。

【解析】

1.细节理解题（流程信息提取）。根据第一段最后一句 "The bill will go through a second review and be signed by the French president before it becomes law" 可知，法案在正式生效前需要经过二次审议并由法国总统签署。选项 C 与原文完全一致。选项 A、B、D 文中均未提及，属于无中生有。因此正确答案为 C。

2.因果细节理解题。根据第四段 "some collectors bought the artifacts without knowing they were taken illegally, so it's difficult to pressure them to return lost artifacts" 可知，一些收藏家在不知情的情况下购买了非法文物，这使得向私人收藏追索文物变得困难。选项 B 是直接原因。选项 A 文中未提及私人博物馆有更强的法律保护；选项 C 属于主观臆断，文中未比较公私收藏的保护水平；选项 D 与私人收藏的追索难题无关。因此正确答案为 B。

3.细节理解题（正误判断题）。根据第三段 "about 1.67 million Chinese cultural relics are kept in 218 museums... and the number of relics in private collections overseas is 10 times as many" 可知，海外私人收藏的中国文物数量约为 1670 万件（1.67×10）。选项 D 正确。选项 A 过于绝对，法案只适用于法国公立博物馆的相关文物；选项 B 与原文相反，雨果在信中强烈谴责了圆明园的劫掠行为；选项 C 偷换概念，537 件是 2021-2025 年总归还数量，圆明园石柱只是其中一部分。因此正确答案为 D。

4.推理判断题。根据最后一段 "the Chinese government has been making great efforts" 以及 "From 2021 to 2025, 537 pieces of lost cultural relics... were returned to China" 可以推断出，中国在追回流失文物方面取得了显著进展。选项 A 符合文意。选项 B 过于绝对，文中未提及所有文物都能很快归还；选项 C 与原文事实相反，专门办公室已经取得了明确成果；选项 D 文中未提及中国只从公立博物馆追回文物。因此正确答案为 A。

5.主旨大意题（写作意图题）。文章第一段引出法国通过文物归还法案的核心事件，第二段补充法案背景和历史渊源，第三段说明全球流失文物的严峻现状，第四段分析归还困难的原因，最后一段介绍中国的努力。全文围绕 "法国新法案" 和 "全球流失文物问题" 展开，选项 B 准确概括了文章的写作目的。选项 A 只是文章的背景信息；选项 C 文章并未详细说明具体的追回方法；选项 D 属于过度推断，文章只是陈述了中国流失文物的数量，并未进行国家间的比较。因此正确答案为 B。

英文原文During his speech, French lawmaker Jeremie Patrier-Leitus quoted Victor Hugo’s 1861 letter on the looting of the Old Summer Palace: “One day will come when France, once freed and cleansed, will return this plunder to looted China”.

中文翻译法国议员热雷米・帕特里耶 - 莱图斯在发言中引用了维克多・雨果 1861 年关于圆明园劫掠事件的信件：“总有一天，解放了的、干干净净的法兰西，会把这份战利品归还给被掠夺的中国”。

Lost cultural relics are an important part of culture and history, and it seems morally and legally right to return them to their original countries.

中文翻译根据联合国教科文组织的数据，约有 167 万件中国文物被收藏在 47 个国家的 218 家博物馆中，而海外私人收藏的文物数量是这一数字的 10 倍。流失文物是文化和历史的重要组成部分，将它们归还给原属国在道义和法律上都是正当的。然而，由于诸多因素，这长期以来一直是一个难题。

第四段

英文原文First, the present international laws often don’t cover past actions. The longer relics stay abroad, the more likely the current owners are protected by local laws, making it harder for the original countries to get them back. Besides, private museums in foreign countries rely on private funding rather than government support, and some collectors bought the artifacts without knowing they were taken illegally, so it’s difficult to pressure them to return lost artifacts. The new French bill also only works for public museums.

中文翻译首先，现行的国际法通常不追溯过往行为。文物在海外留存的时间越长，其现持有者就越有可能受到当地法律的保护，原属国追回它们的难度也就越大。此外，国外的私人博物馆依靠私人资金而非政府资助运营，且部分收藏家在购买文物时并不知道它们是被非法掠夺的，因此很难迫使他们归还流失文物。法国的这项新法案也仅适用于公立博物馆。

本段重点单词&短语

lcurrent /ˈkʌrənt/adj. 当前的；现在的

lrely on 依靠；依赖

lfunding /ˈfʌndɪŋ/n. 资金；资助
