On April 18 — the International Day for Monuments and Sites, China Daily’s digital employee Yuanxi and Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes’ official virtual cartoon figure Jiayao together introduced an interactive digital platform(平台) that hosts a virtual copy of the Mogao Grottoes’ Library Cave(藏经洞) to the world.
The platform was developed jointly by the Dunhuang Academy and the Chinese tech firm Tencent. It uses gaming technologies to show the historical scenes of the Library Cave in the digital world.
The Library Cave in Mogao Grottoes was discovered in 1900, with more than 60,000 cultural relics dating from the 4th century to the 11th century unearthed. It was one of the most important archaeological discoveries in the 20th century.
On the platform, visitors can role-play and “time travel” to ancient dynasties and talk with eight historical figures: The public can enter the platform through the Digital Dunhuang website and its WeChat mini program.
In the digital age, the model of “culture + technology” has been introduced to facilitate the development of Chinese culture. The digitalization rate of China’s precious cultural relics is now over 70 percent, according to the 2022 China Digital Collection Industry Research Report released by iResearch.
Institutions such as the Palace Museum have also started online digital services of their own. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology allows the public to view the interior of the buildings through the Palace Museum’s WeChat mini program.
The Ministry of Culture and Tourism has also encouraged the development and transformation of cultural intellectual property(知识产权) by digital means. China Central Television has created a series of digital collections with different Dunhuang themes, such as the Dunhuang divine deer(神鹿) Youyou. It was created based on the image of the nine-colored deer from Dunhuang murals(壁画). The public can see the divine deer on CCTV’s own digital platform.
24.Which of the following statements about the virtual copy of the Mogao Grottoes’ Library Cave is true
A.It was unearthed in 1900 with more than 60,000 cultural relics.
B.It has applied the latest time-traveling and gaming technology.

C
Coral reefs(珊瑚礁) as underwater walls can help reduce the effects of hurricanes on coastal communities. This seems unbelievable. It is reported that scientists have discovered that coral reefs are even more effective than man-made sea walls under the water. However, coral reefs are especially easy to be influenced by climate change. Overfishing and pollution have also proved very dangerous to them. Since 1950, half of the world’s coral reefs have already been lost. To protect our communities and keep sea ecosystems alive, we need to protect coral reefs right away.
Let’s take a closer look at how coral reefs protect us from floods, and how scientists are restoring(修复) reefs.
The roles that coral reefs play as underwater walls have long been recorded by scientists. During a Category 3 hurricane in 2015 in Australia, the coral reefs effectively protected the eastern shoreline from flooding. In contrast, the western coasts without coral reefs suffered serious damage. The researchers observed that the shape of coral reefs can break the approaching waves. More recently, researchers at the University of Miami have reached the same conclusion. They used a special lab simulator(模拟装置) to recreate ocean conditions during a Category 5 hurricane. They found that coral reefs could reduce the impact of waves by up to 95 percent!
Because of higher ocean acidity(酸性) and temperature, coral reefs are disappearing and dying out. At the same time, climate change puts weakened coral reefs under more stress. The University of Miami researchers are testing to plant new coral reefs while others are actively looking for effective methods to reduce the acidity of sea water. The governments have also paid more attention to these actions and provided enough money for reef restoration. With these efforts, we may address climate threats to coral reefs and they can carry on protecting our communities.
28.What can we know about coral reefs
A.They are faced with danger now. B.They can reduce hurricanes.
C.They aren’t influenced by overfishing. D.They can’t effectively prevent floods.
29.Which of the following is true according to paragraph 3
A.Scientists paid little attention to coral reefs before.
B.A terrible hurricane attacked Australia in 2015.
C.The eastern coasts of Australia were damaged seriously
D.Coral reefs could reduce the impact of waves to 95%.
30.What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of coral reefs
A.Objective. B.Confused. C.Doubtful. D.Positive.
31.What’s the purpose of this passage
A.To introduce the growth of coral reefs.
B.To stress the importance of protecting coral reefs.
C.To explain the functions of coral reefs.
D.To encourage people to plant more coral reefs.

Last week saw Culture Day on campus, whose theme was “The Beauty of Chinese Traditional Festivals”.
There were a variety of activities unfolding before us, ranging from the paper-cutting exhibition to hands-on experiences, where we learned to cook exclusive festival dishes and perform the lion dance. Additionally, an expert on folk culture impressed us with vivid stories behind festival origins and customs, some of which we had never known of.
In short, not only did Culture Day refresh my understanding of Chinese Traditional festivals. but it also made me proud of the beauty displayed in their celebrations.

Good evening, and welcome to the Channel 5 weather report. This weekend we expect to see stormy weather throughout the northeast region. Along the coast, there will be strong winds and heavy rain starting Friday. For those living further inland, away from the ocean, it will be less windy, but it will still be a very wet weekend. If you live in or near the mountains, stay warm and get ready for the heavy snow! Icy roads and snow will make it dangerous to go out or travel on Saturday, so it’ll be best to do indoor activities at home. Local officials are warning of possible power cut throughout the entire region. We at Channel 5 encourage everyone to keep a flashlight and spare batteries at home in case there’s no electricity. We also want to remind you to keep your mobile phones and battery packs fully charged. Fortunately, this storm system should pass quickly, and you can look forward to sunny skies starting Tuesday.
