The Digital Renaissance of Dunhuang

Last month, a group of students from No. 1 Middle School participated in an innovative educational program at the Dunhuang Mogao Caves: a digital art experience called "Echoes of the Silk Road". Using interactive touchscreens and augmented reality (AR) glasses, they virtually explored the ancient murals, zoomed in on detailed Buddhist figures, and even "restored" faded colors on digital replicas of the cave paintings.

"I could see the fine lines of the Flying Apsaras with my own eyes and understand how the artists mixed natural pigments a thousand years ago," said ninth-grader Li Hua. "It felt more vivid than just reading a textbook."

The project uses high-definition digital scans of the real caves, combined with historical research, to create an immersive learning environment. Dr. Wang, a cultural heritage expert, explained that many real caves are closed to the public to prevent damage caused by humidity, light, and excessive visitor numbers. "Digital technology allows people to appreciate these treasures without causing harm," she said. "More importantly, it sparks curiosity among tech-savvy teenagers."

However, not everyone is fully convinced. Mr. Zhang, a history teacher, expressed his concerns: "While digital experiences are engaging, they might give students a false sense of understanding real history. True historical comprehension requires analyzing primary sources, debating different viewpoints, and accepting uncertainties—things that a screen cannot fully replace."

Despite these concerns, most students reported a deeper interest in cultural heritage. One student even started a school club to study Dunhuang culture. As Li Hua put it, "Technology didn't replace books—it made me want to read more about our history."

25. What does the underlined word "humidity" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. Strong wind.  B. Wet air.  C. Heavy rain.  D. Bright sunlight.

26. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?

A. The advantages of digital technology in museums.

B. Why Mr. Zhang dislikes the digital program.

C. Worries about the limitations of digital historical experiences.

D. How to analyze primary historical sources.
