Historians say that the ruler loved her so much that, in AD 724, he banished his wife and made Wu a royal concubine. “ Although she was only a concubine, she was treated as an empress with palace etiquette， ” explained Shi Xiaoqun, director of relics collection for Shaanxi History Museum. “Tang Xuanzong even wanted to make her his empress but was opposed by the ministers.” The emperor had thousands of concubines in his palace in Chang39。an (now called Xi39。an, capital of Shaanxi province) but, according to Shi, he only loved Wu, the mother of seven of his children. Wu died in the December of AD 737 at the age of 40 and was interred in Jingling Mausoleum. She was given the title Empress Zhenshun after her death. “ It39。s rare for a concubine to be given so much posthumous(死后獲得的 ) honor in the history of Chinese feudal society， ” said Liu Daiyun, research director at the Shaanxi Archaeological Research Institute. Her tomb 53 meters wide by 56 meters long is located in the west of Pangliu village, which is part of Xi39。an39。s Chang39。an district. The recovered sarcophagus(石棺 ) is 4 meters long, 2 meters wide and 2 meters tall and is decorated with flowers and maiden figures, which archaeologists say is a rare cultural relic of high scientific, historical and artistic value. In ancient times, a sarcophagus was used to house wood coffins in order to preserve the body of the noble person. “ I knew it was precious but I didn39。t know it was so beautiful， ” said Han Qinglong, who headed the team that brought the relic back to China four years after it was stolen and sold abroad by tomb raiders. 【語(yǔ)篇解讀】 歷史上武惠妃受到唐玄宗的寵愛(ài)并產(chǎn)生巨大影響，死后更享有一般 妃子無(wú)法企及的殊榮。這一點(diǎn)從發(fā)掘出的武惠妃的陵墓和其石棺的豪華程度就可 以窺見(jiàn)一斑。 36． The underlined word “ banished” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “________”． A． killed B． removed C． divorced D． persuaded 解析 詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)上下文判斷，唐玄宗如此寵愛(ài)武惠妃所以他趕走皇后，想立武惠妃做皇后。 banish在本句中有 “ 驅(qū)逐，趕走 ” 之意。 答案 B 37． The passage mainly focuses on________.
