Such discoveries are so freque nt these days that hardly an ybody pays heed to them. However, whe n the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940, the world was amazed. Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes show ing how people lived thousa nds of years ago. The scenes show people hun ti ng ani mals, such as bis on or wild cats. Other images depict birds and, mostnoticeably, horses, which appear in more than 300 wall images, by far outnumbering all other ani mals.Early artists draw ing these an imals achieved a monumen tal and difficult task.They did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried theirpainting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or going on handsand kn ees into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex.Unfortun ately, the paintings have bee n exposed to the destructive action of water and temperature changes, which easily wear the images away. Because the Lascaux caves have many entran ces, air moveme nt has also damaged the images in side.Although they are not out i n the ope n air, where n atural light would havedestroyed them long ago, many of the images have deteriorated and are hardly recog ni zable. To preve nt further damage, the site was closed to tourists in 1963,23 years after it was discovered.25. Which title best summarizes the main idea of the passage? A. Wild Ani mals in Art B.

Dent station located on the Settel to Carlisle railway line, is said to be surrounded by the most beautiful scenery in the country. But no amount of scenic beauty can save the line becauseof the British Rail's money problems.It is now an open secret that British Rail sees no future for this railway line.Most of its trains disappeared some time ago. Bridges, built a century ago, are falling down. It is not alone. Half a dozen railway routes in the North of England are facing a similar threat. The problem is an old system and an almost total lack of cash to repair it. Bridges and tunnels are showing their ages, the wooden supports for the tracks are rotting （腐烂）and engines and coaches（车厢）are getting old.On main lines between large cities, the problem is not too bad. There lines stillmake a profit and cash can be found to keep them in good condition. But on the country branch line, the situati on is differe nt. As track wears out, it is not replaced.In stead speed limits are in troduced, making the journey Ion ger tha n n ecessary and discouragi ng travelers.If a bridge is dangerous, there is often only one thing for British Rail to do:go out and find money from ano ther places. This is exactly what it did a few mon ths ago when a bridge at Bridling station was threatening to fall down. Repairs were calculated at 200,000 pounds just for one bridge, so British Rail was pleased, and rather surprised when two local councils（理事会）offered half that amount of money.32. Of all the railway routes in Brita in, the one which passes through DentA. is the most historic.B. passes through the most attractive coun tryside.C. is the most expe nsive route for tourists.D. carries the greatest nu mber of tourists.33. What is the most urge nt （迫切的）problem for many country railway lines ?A. Rebuildi ng bridges.B. Repairi ng engin es.C. Renewing coaches.D. Replaci ng stati ons.34. Who would appear to be the people most affected by the difficulties facing theBritish Rail?A. The people who do much bus in ess.B. The groups who are orga ni zed .C. Large city people and local people.D. The people who want to have holidays for touri ng.35. How should British Rail improve the financial situation of the country railwaylin es?A. By bringing in speed limitsB. By decreas ing preservi ng costs.C. By in creas ing train faresD. By ask ing local coun cils for help第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
