 When another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not usually news. Rather,
it is an ordinary event. Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays
heed to them. However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940, the world was
amazed. Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived
thousands of years ago. The scenes show people hunting animals, such as bison or wild cats.
Other images depict birds and, most noticeably, horses, which appear in more than 300 wall
images, by far outnumbering all other animals.
Early artists drawing these animals accomplished = đạt được a monumental and difficult
task. “They” did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting
materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in the
Lascaux complex.
Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed to the destructive action of water and
temperature changes, which easily wear the images away. Because the Lascaux caves have
many entrances, air movement has also damaged the images inside. Although they are not out
in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago, many of the images
have deteriorated and are barely = hardly recognizable. To prevent further damage, the site was
closed to tourists in 1963, 23 years after it was discovered.
Question 31. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The huge amount of caves in the south of France
B. How ancient people drew images of birds on walls
C. The discovery of an amazing old cave complex in the south of France
D. How France changed after the discovery of the Lascaux caves
Question 32. The word “which“ in paragraph 1 refers to _______.
A. images B. cats C. birds D. horses
Question 33. The word “destructive“ in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. magnificent B. devastating C. constructive D. favourable
Question 34. According to paragraph 3, the site was closed because _______.
A. nobody could recognize the paintings
B. the images needed to be protected from natural light
C. the tourists tried to damage the images
D. it was destroyed by a flood
Question 35. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The early artists challenged themselves by not drawing on reachable walls.
B. It was thought that horses had been ancient people’s favourite animals.
C. The discovery of the Lascaux caves astonished people around the world.
D. People hadn’t paid much attention to cave discoveries until 1940.
