(A) the army of terra-cotta warriors created to protect Qin Shi Huang, China’s first emperor, in his afterlife is more than 2,000 years old and took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete

(B) Qin Shi Huang, China’s first emperor, was protected in his afterlife by an army of terracotta warriors that was created more than 2,000 years ago by 700,000 artisans who took more than 36 years to complete it

(C) it took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to create an army of terra-cotta warriors more than 2,000 years ago that would protect Qin Shi Huang, China’s first emperor, in his afterlife

(D) more than 2,000 years ago, 700,000 artisans worked more than 36 years to create an army of terra-cotta warriors to protect Qin Shi Huang, China’s first emperor, in his afterlife

(E) more than 36 years were needed to complete the army of terra-cotta warriors that 700,000 artisans created 2,000 years ago to protect Qin Shi Huang, China’s first emperor, in his afterlife

选项分析：

(A)the army of terra-cotta warriors created to protect Qin Shi Huang, China's first emperor, in his afterlife is more than 2,000 years old and took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete

【正确】 “Rivaling the pyramids of Egypt or even the ancient cities of the Maya as an achievement”是主谓结构“the army of terra-cotta warriors…… is more than 2,000 years old and took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete”的伴随状语，其逻辑主语是“the army of terra-cotta warriors”，表意为“the army of terra-cotta warriors”和“the pyramids of Egypt”以及“cities of the Maya”相媲美。

【大意】 和埃及金字塔和玛雅古城相媲美，为保卫死后的秦始皇而建造的兵马俑有超过2000年的历史，并且花了700000工匠36年时间完成。

(B)Qin Shi Huang, China's first emperor, was protected in his afterlife by an army of terracotta warriors that was created more than 2,000 years ago by 700,000 artisans who took more than 36 years to complete it

【错误】 见(A)。

(C)it took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to create an army of terra-cotta warriors more than 2,000 years ago that would protect Qin Shi Huang, China's first emperor, in his afterlife

【错误】 见(A)。

(D)more than 2,000 years ago, 700,000 artisans worked more than 36 years to create an army of terra-cotta warriors to protect Qin Shi Huang, China's first emperor, in his afterlife

【错误】 见(A)。

(E)more than 36 years were needed to complete the army of terra-cotta warriors that 700,000 artisans created 2,000 years ago to protect Qin Shi Huang, China's first emperor, in his afterlife

【错误】 见(A)。

解题思路：

本题题干中修饰语“Rivaling the pyramids of Egypt or even the ancient cities of the Maya as an achievement,”大意为“与埃及金字塔和玛雅古城相媲美”，就近修饰“the army of terra-cotta warriors”——“兵马俑”无疑是最合理的，因此直接选(A)。
