It won39。s Gansu Province. There are 500 manmade caves and they have survived for at least 1,600 years. Almost all of these caves have paintings on their ceilings or walls and they date from the 4th to 14th centuries. Wang Jinyu is an expert on these cave paintings (also called frescoes) and he says: We discovered frescoes containing scientific and technological content in almost all of the caves which have frescoes. What is remarkable about these cave paintings according to the Xinhua News Agency is that they provide evidence of scientific and technological inventions by ancient Chinese in maths, physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography, agronomy, architecture, textiles, traffic and transportation, arms and military equipment and medical sciences. If we want to find out what kind of technology people used in the past, we normally have to rely on archaeologists to find ruined buildings and parts of tools or instruments or machines. Archaeologists then try to reconstruct, sometimes with the help of puter technology, what these ancient buildings and objects must have looked like, and how they might have been made. Sometimes historians are lucky and find an ancient document with a written description of these ancient buildings and objects. 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和詞義猜測兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行推理歸納，從而選出正確答案。我在澳大利亞、波蘭、匈牙利、土耳其、印度、印度尼西亞等地結(jié)識了一生的朋友。ve encountered many people who became important to me.
