This gift made him love painting and dream of seeing the caves one day. At 30, Wu, from Sichuan in Southwest China, finally made the trip to Dunhuang. He said, “The paintings on the walls were more amazing than those in the book. That was when I knew I wanted to stay here.” Now 32, Wu has an art workshop in Dunhuang, where he paints the wall paintings on special boards. This allows visitors to have the chance to experience a bit of the caves’ magic. “When people breathe (呼吸) in the caves, they make the air not good for the paintings. Only a few caves let people in because we need to keep them safe,” Wu said. “People can’t take pictures or stay inside for long.” The paintings in Dunhuang are known for their bright colors. They use colors from rocks that have stayed pretty for centuries. However, because of their high cost, Wu mostly uses common paint for his art. But he also shows art with rock colors in special shows, so people can see how the old paintings really look. His workshop has become a popular place for tourists and art lovers. Through his art, Wu Mingfei has found a way to share the amazing art of Dunhuang with the world. 1．What makes Wu Mingfei interested in paintings in the Mogao Caves? A．A TV show about Dunhuang.

A．Because he doesn’t like rock colors. B．Because common paint is cheaper. C．Because he can’t get rock colors. D．Because common colors are brighter. 5．What would be the best title for this article?

D．The History of Cave Paintings. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了 吴明飞对敦煌石窟的热爱以及他用自己的方式向世界分享敦煌的神奇艺术。 1．细节理解题。根据“At the age of 10, in 2002, Wu Mingfei received a gift from his mother: a book about pretty paintings on walls in the Mogao Caves (洞穴) of Dunhuang, Gansu province.

The 11-year-old boy, from California, has already made a lot of money by selling his modern paintings to art collectors. His fans even include some famous Hollywood actors.

This gift made him love painting and dream of seeing the caves one day. At 30, Wu, from Sichuan in Southwest China, finally made the trip to Dunhuang. He said, “The paintings on the walls were more amazing than those in the book. That was when I knew I wanted to stay here.” Now 32, Wu has an art workshop in Dunhuang, where he paints the wall paintings on special boards. This allows visitors to have the chance to experience a bit of the caves’ magic. “When people breathe (呼吸) in the caves, they make the air not good for the paintings. Only a few caves let people in because we need to keep them safe,” Wu said. “People can’t take pictures or stay inside for long.” The paintings in Dunhuang are known for their bright colors. They use colors from rocks that have stayed pretty for centuries. However, because of their high cost, Wu mostly uses common paint for his art. But he also shows art with rock colors in special shows, so people can see how the old paintings really look. His workshop has become a popular place for tourists and art lovers. Through his art, Wu Mingfei has found a way to share the amazing art of Dunhuang with the world. 1．What makes Wu Mingfei interested in paintings in the Mogao Caves? A．A TV show about Dunhuang.
