23．Around 1，800 years ago，Chinese artists carved （雕刻） Buddha statues （佛像） into rocks in mountains.These grottoes （石窟） have been through earthquakes，floods and wars.In the 21st century，however，they are facing a new danger：tourism.
These grottoes have been asked to control the number of visitors.Tourists are also encouraged to book tickets online and stay away from busy hours when visiting.The main goal of the new policy （政策） is to protect cultural relics （遺產(chǎn)）.
The carved rocks in the grottoes are ancient.They slowly corrode （侵蝕） because of the acidic （酸性的） content of air，water and microorganisms （微生物）.When they are open to the public，they corrode faster.
According to a study，the carbon dioxide （二氧化碳） that visitors breathe out has made the air more acidic at Henan's Longmen Grottoes.At the Mogao Grottoes in Gansu，researchers found that visitors often bring in microorganisms.All of these things can harm the relics.
Bad behavior （行為） can cause harm to relics as well.During the National Day holiday in October，many people noticed that a Buddha statue at Longmen Grottoes had a smooth patina （氧化層） because too many tourists touched it and caused its surface to change color.
The new policy aims to protect not only relics，but also visitors.Fewer people means a lower risk of stampedes （踩踏事故）.People can enjoy the relics in a safer and more pleasant way.
（1）What danger are the grottoes facing these days？
（2）What is the new policy？
（3）What can corrode the grottoes？
（4）What does Paragraph 5 teach us？
（5）What is the aim of the new policy？組卷：0引用：1難度：0.3
