Read the following passage and choose the most suitable answer.
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 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
recognizable. To prevent further damage, the site was closed to tourists in 1963, 23 years after it was
discovered.
Question 18. According to the passage, what happened at the Lascaux caves in 1963?
A. A new entrance was created
B. A new lighting system was installed
C. Another part was discovered.
D. Visitors were prohibited from entering.
Question 19. Which title best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
A. Hidden Prehistoric Paintings B. Determining the Age of French Caves
C. Wild Animals in Art D. Exploring Caves Respectfully
Question 20. In line 5, the word depict is closest in meaning to ______.
A. count B. hunt C. show D. draw
Question 21. In paragraph 1, the word “them” refers to _______.
A. news B. these days C. caves D. artists
Question 22. According to the passage, all the following have caused damage to the paintings
EXCEPT _____.
A. artificial light B. temperature changes
C. air movement D. water
