Called the "daughter of Dunhuang", her story with the caves started over 60 years ago. In 1963, Fan, then a 25-year-old Peking University graduate, had the chance to work at the Mogao Caves, a place which she had wanted to explore for a long time. "Seeing Dunhuang for the first time was breathtaking. But only when truly staying here did I realize that inside the caves is a world of divine (神圣的) beauty while outside is a land of blowing sand and yellow earth," Fan told Gansu Daily. Back in those days, the Mogao Caves were almost completely cut off from the world. Fan and her co-workers had to live in mud houses and drink salty water. They stayed inside the caves to do research, copy murals (壁画), and do whatever they could to protect and restore them. In 2011, after over 40 years of hard work, a report on 10 Mogao Caves compiled (编写) by Fan's team was finally published. It was known as China's first professional report on cave archaeology, reported Gansu Daily. As time passed, Fan found a serious problem. The increasing number of tourists visiting Dunhuang might harm the caves, causing the murals inside to fade. A solution needed to be found to preserve Dunhuang's heritage (遗产). In the late 1980s, Fan came across computer technology by chance. She realized that this might preserve the Mogao Caves forever. After over 30 years of exploration, the Dunhuang Academy built a digital database to protect cultural relics (文物) there, allowing Dunhuang's art to live forever and to step out of the caves to meet the world. "In my whole life, I've only done one thing: protect and promote the world cultural heritage of the Mogao Caves," she told People's Daily. "My heart belongs to Dunhuang." 1. What can we learn about Fan from the article? A. She began her work at the Mogao Caves at the age of 23. B. She studied archaeology at Nanjing University. C. Her health was affected by her hard work. D. She is a woman of great determination. 2. The underlined word "preserve" in Paragraph 6 means "______". A. increase B. protect C. improve D. change 3. What pushed Fan to establish a digital database for the Mogao Caves? A. Her desire to promote Chinese culture. B. Her interest in computer technology. C. The need to document the restoration work. D. The increasing threat to the physical caves. 4. What's the genre (体裁) of this passage? A. A story which is made up by imagination. B. A mystery which waits to be uncovered. C. A profile which gives facts about a person. D. A science report which focuses on the discovery of the Mogao Caves. 5. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Returning to the Mogao Caves B. The struggle of a guard of Dunhuang C. The success of an archaeologist D. Deep connection to caves 五、短文填空：阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内单词的正确形式填空。 Wu Pinxian is an 89-year-old granny (奶奶) in Panyu District (番禺区), Guangzhou, Guangdong province.
