Section Ⅰ　Starting out & Understanding ideas 原文呈现 WELCOME TO DUNHUANG! 1 Welcome to Dunhuang! On the old Silk Road, this city was the gateway① to and from Ancient China, a place where East met West【1】， and a green island in the middle of the desert. You can only imagine how travellers felt when they saw the oasis② of Dunhuang ahead of them.【2】 【1】此处where引导定语从句，修饰先行词a place，where在从句中作地点状语。 【2】本句是主从复合句。how引导宾语从句，该从句中when引导时间状语从句。 2 Dunhuang's long and glorious③ history represents④ its significance⑤ as a centre of cultural and commercial exchange⑥. Today, Dunhuang is a world­class tourist destination⑦ boasting⑧ sites with UNESCO­protected⑨ heritage⑩ status【3】. Now, we are going to enter some of the city's famous caves, of which there are more than 700【4】. Known as the Mogao Grottoes【5】， these ancient caves were carved out of⑪ the rock over a period of 1,000 years. If you look up, you can see the paintings and other artworks that are testimony to how the Silk Road brought East and West together【6】. Look at these statues⑫！ You can see elements from Ancient Greece, India and Iran. Now look around the walls of the cave. Come a little bit closer so that you can get a better view⑬.【7】 Look at them! The murals cover an astonishing⑭ area of⑮ 45,000 square metres. 【3】画线部分是现在分词短语作后置定语。此处world­class tourist destination与boast之间存在逻辑上的主谓关系，所以用现在分词形式。 【4】画线部分是“介词(of)＋关系代词(which)”引导的非限制性定语从句，which指代caves。 【5】画线部分是过去分词短语作状语，be known as...意为“作为……而出名”。 【6】画线部分是that引导的宾语从句，that指代先行词paintings and other artworks，在从句中作主语。介词to后是how引导的宾语从句。 【7】画线部分中so that引导目的状语从句，主句是一个祈使句。 3 The subjects of the Dunhuang murals vary⑯ from religious stories to scenes of everyday life. But one type of mural that is unique to Dunhuang【8】 shows the Apsaras, or “Flying Immortals”. Representations of these heavenly musicians, singers and dancers decorate the walls of many caves. Take a look at this mural.The Apsaras are depicted⑰ sailing in the bright blue sky, with their scarves⑱ flying, as if they are about to fly down to meet us.【9】 And here is another one. Move over here where you can see it in more detail⑲. The Apsaras are holding lotuses, playing musical instruments, dancing and throwing flowers. The painting of Apsaras reached a peak⑳ during the Tang Dynasty; these images are full of life, reflecting the confidence and optimism of people from that time.【10】 【8】画线部分为that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词one type of mural，that在从句中作主语。 【9】本句是主从复合句。with their scarves flying是“with＋宾语＋现在分词”结构；as if引导方式状语从句。 【10】画线部分是现在分词短语作状语。 4 Now, something really extraordinary happened in 1900, when a Taoist priest made one of the most important finds of the 20th century. In a sealed cave, now known as the famous Library Cave, were hidden thousands of manuscripts， paintings and scrolls， as well as silk embroideries.【11】 We'll have a chance to see some of them shortly—the Library Cave is only a stone's throw from here. Dating from 405AD to 1002AD, these hidden treasures give us a picture of Dunhuang when it was at the very centre of the Silk Road trade.【12】 Thanks to this ancient library, we now know that goods arrived in Dunhuang from as far away as North­east Europe, and that goods were also exported from Dunhuang across Asia and Europe. The scrolls are so detailed that they describe the vast range of goods that were imported and exported from Dunhuang【13】， such as ceramics， medicine, perfumes and fruit, to name just a few. The scrolls also reveal how many different communities lived side­by­side within this great city. However, the reason why the Library Cave was sealed up all those years ago remains a mystery.【14】 【11】画线部分中表地点的介词短语In a sealed cave位于句首，句子用了全部倒装。 【12】本句是主从复合句。Dating from...1002 AD是现在分词短语作状语；when引导定语从句。 【13】本句含有“so...that”结构。第一个that引导结果状语从句，这个状语从句中包含一个that引导的定语从句，that指代先行词goods。 【14】本句是主从复合句。why引导定语从句，修饰先行词the reason，并在从句中作原因状语。 5 In the Ming Dynasty, trade routes changed and Dunhuang was not as prosperous as it used to be.【15】 Gradually, it faded from memory, even though it was once such a great city. 【15】本句是主从复合句。句中含“as...as...”结构，第二个as引导比较状语从句。 6 This century is bringing the Silk Road to life once more through the Belt and Road Initiative. Dunhuang has once again become a global crossroads since it hosted hundreds of representatives from 51 countries for the Silk Road International Cultural Expo in 2017.Given that the theme of the Expo was to promote cultural exchange and strengthen mutual cooperation between the countries along the Silk Road, Dunhuang was the ideal place.【16】 【16】本句包含Given that引导的原因状语从句。 7 Now let's move on to the next cave... 名师圈点 ①gateway/'ɡeItweI/n.[usually sing.]通向……的门户 ②oasis/əʊ'eIsIs/n.[C](沙漠中的)绿洲 ③glorious/'ɡlɔːriəs/adj.辉煌的；光荣的；极为宜人的 glorious history辉煌的历史 ④represent/ˌreprI'zent/vt.展示；表现 ⑤significance/sIɡ'nIfIkəns/n.
