真題：
（短文三）
On Christmas Eve in 1994, humans entered a cave in the mountains of southeastern France for what was probably the first time in 20,000 years. The vivid images of more than 300 animals that Jean-Marie Chauvet and his assistants found on the cave walls were like none that they had seen before. Unusual in the Grotte Chauvet, as the cave is now called in honor of its discoverer, are paintings of many flat sheeting animals. Other known caves from the same geographical area and time period contain only paintings of plantites. The paintings in this cave refute the old theory that Cro-Magnoon people painted animals that they hunted and then ate. Now many specialists believe that cave paintings were not part of a ritual to bring good luck to hunters. They point out that while deer made up a major part of their diet, there're no drawings of deer. They believe that the animals painted were those central to the symbolic and spiritual life of the times; animals that represented something deep and spiritual to the people. Scientists are hopeful that Groo Chavie will yield new information about the art and lifestyle of Cro-Magnoon people. They readily admit, however, that little is understood yet as to the reasons why ice age artists created their interesting and detailed paintings. Scientists also wonder why some paintings were done in areas that are so difficult to get to, in caves, for example, that are 2,400 feet underground, and accessible only by crawling through narrow passageways.
23. How did the cave get its name?
24. What is the old theory about the paintings in the cave?
25. What do scientists readily admit according to the speaker?
答案：
23. B.
24. C.
25. A.
點評 本文為科普類說明文，主要圍繞法國東南部的壹個著名洞穴肖維巖洞(Grotte Chauvet)展開。肖維巖洞由Jean-Marie Chauvet在1994年聖誕夜首次發現，故以Chauvet的名字命名。與法國同時期其他洞穴不同的是，肖維巖洞內的動物壁畫並不是被捕獵的動物，而是那些大型、有力而威猛的動物。許多專家們由此認為，壁畫上的動物是當時人們精神生活的象征。本文由於涉及國外藝術文化的話題，對許多考生來說比較生疏。但只要對篇章的開頭及結尾、相關關鍵詞做到有效把握，答出問題也是比較容易的。
