　　常考知识——肖维岩洞壁画(Chauvet Cave Paintings)

　　内容：

　　The Chauvet cave in France features among the planet’s most well-preserved representational cave paintings, such as the Lion panel, as well as additional Upper Paleolithic artifacts. Created around 36,000 years ago, the Chauvet cave paintings feature animals that feel alive even today, giving us a small glimpse of life in the time before recorded human history. Chauvet cave art is full of depictions of animals such as lions, reindeer, and horses.

　　Numerous animal artworks, portraying at least 13 distinct species, have been identified, including those that are seldom or never seen in other ice-period works of art. Rather than representing simply the usual animals that abound in Paleolithic (旧石器时代的) cave art, such as aurochs(欧洲野牛), horses, and mammoths(猛犸象), the Chauvet Cave in France exhibits a variety of predatory species, including leopards, bears, lions, and hyenas(鬣狗).

　　题目(TPO3 LECTURE3 Chauvet Paintings)

　　5. Compared to other Paleolithic art, what is unusual about the animals painted at Chauvet?

　　A. Most of them are horses.

　　C. Many of them are shown alongside humans.
