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 26 to 30.
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 anybody4pays heed to4them.
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 images4depict4birds 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.4They4did 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.
