Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 106 to 110.
When another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not unusual 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 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 been deteriorated and are barely recognizable. To prevent further damage, the site
was closed to tourists in 1963, 23 years after it was discovered.
106. Which title best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
A. Hidden prehistoric paintings B. Wild animals in art
C. Exploring caves respectfully D. Determining the age of French caves

A. Painting materials were hard to find.
B. Many painting spaces were difficult to reach.
C. The caves were full of wild animals.

109. The pronoun “They” in the passage refers to ______.
A. walls B. animals C. materials D. artists
110. According to the passage, what happened at the Lascaux caves in 1963?
A. A new lighting system was installed. B. Another part was discovered.
