Questions 12–20 are about the following passage.
1.When another old cave is discovered in the south of
2.France, it is not usually news. Rather, it
3.is an ordinary event. Such discoveries are so
frequent
4.these days that hardly anybody pays heed to them.
5.However, when the Lascaux cave complex was
6.discovered in 1940, the world was amazed. Painted
7.directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes
showing
8.how people lived thousands of years ago. The
scenes
9.show people hunting animals, such as bison or wild
10. cats. Other images depict birds and, most
noticeably,
11. horses, which appear in more than 300 wall
images,
12. by far outnumbering all other animals.
13. Early artists drawing these animals
accomplished
14. a monumental and difficult task. They did not
limit
15. themselves to the easily accessible walls but
carried
16. their painting materials to spaces that required
climbing
17. steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in
the
18. Lascaux complex. Unfortunately, the paintings
have
19. been exposed to the destructive action of water
and
20. temperature changes, which easily wear the
images
21. away. Because the Lascaux caves have many
22. entrances, air movement has also damaged the
23. images inside. Although they are not out in the
24. open air, where natural light would have
destroyed
25. them long ago, many of the images have
deteriorated
26. and are barely recognizable. To prevent further
27. damage, the site was closed to tourists in 1963,
28. 23 years after it was discovered.
12. Which title best summarizes the main idea of the
passage?
A. Wild Animals in Art
B. Hidden Prehistoric Paintings
C. Exploring Caves Respectfully
D. Determining the Age of French Caves
13. In line 4, the words pays heed to are closest in
meaning to _______.
A. discovers
B. watches
C. notices
D. buys
14. Based on the passage, what is probably true
about the south of France?
A. It is home to rare animals.
B. It has a large number of caves.
C. It is known for horse-racing events.
D. It has attracted many famous artists.
15. According to the passage, which animals appear
most often on the cave walls?
A. Birds
B. Bison
C. Horses
D. Wild cats
16. In line 10, the word depict is closest in meaning
to _______.
A. show
B. hunt
C. count
D. draw

difficult task?
A. It was completely dark inside.
B. The caves were full of wild animals.
C. Painting materials were hard to find.
D. Many painting spaces were difficult to reach.
18. In line 14, the word They refers to _______.

19. According to the passage, all of the following
have caused damage to the paintings
EXCEPT _______.
