2． In 1879，an 8-year-old girl made a discovery that would rock our understanding of human history.On the walls of Altamira cave in northern Spain，she spotted amazing drawings of wild cows，painted in vivid red and black.More striking even than the images was their age：they were made thousands of years ago by modern humans' supposedly primitive ancestors.Today，nearly 400 caves across Europe have been found decorated with hand stencils （模板），strange symbols and beautiful images of animals created by these skillful artists.
The discoveries led to the view that artistic talent arose after modern humans arrived in the region some 40，000 years ago，as part of a "cultural explosion" reflecting a flowering of the human mind.But more recent evidence has blown this idea out of the water.For a start，modern humans might not have been the first artists in Europe.What's more，a collection of cave paintings emerging in Indonesia has dismissed the idea that Europe was the centre of creativity.
Local people have long known that the caves of the island of Sulawesi，Indonesia，contain many painted images.Modern humans are thought to have reached the region some 65，000 years ago，but nobody imagined the art could be very old because ancient paintings seem unlikely to survive in the environment of high temperatures.A team of researchers led by Maxime Aubert，now at Griffith University in Australia， upended this idea using a technique that is shifting our understanding of cave art.Using this technique in seven caves，they found a hand stencil was at least 39，900 years old，making it the oldest known hand stencil at that time.
This opened a floodgate to new discoveries in Indonesia.These included a hunting scene created at least 43，900 years ago，and by far the oldest descriptive artwork. "When we found that image，we were absolutely delighted，but when it turned out to be that old，we were almost jumping with joy，" says Adam Brumm，also at Griffith University.

A．Wild animals.
B．Ancient images.

D．Recording artists.
（2）What was a misunderstanding removed by recent evidence about the cave art？

B．It reflected the flowering of human minds.
C．Modern humans led to its rise in Indonesia.
D．Modern humans might not have been real artists.
（3）What does the underlined word "upended" mean in paragraph 3？
A．Proved.
B．Strengthened.
C．Overturned.
D．Overemphasized.
（4）What does the last paragraph mainly talk about？
A．The amazing discoveries.
B．The researchers' expectations.
C．The benefits of the technique.
D．The description of the cave art.組卷：22引用：4難度：0.3

3．Leonardo da Vinci and Nature In the modern world，art and science are two very separate activities，but in Leonardo's time they were closely connected．Science meant mathematics and medical studies．（1）
Mathematics included practical work like surveying land for making maps as well as measuring the movements of the stars in the sky．An artist might need to measure the different parts of the body．He could also use mathematics to place things in relationship to each other in a drawing or painting so the scene looked correct．（2）Mathematics was also connected to music because musical sounds have a fixed relationship with each other that can be described in numbers．（3）More than this，though，Leonardo believed that numbers were a part of all things in the world，including music，and he said that "without them nothing can be done．"
"Nature has kindly given us things everywhere to copy，" wrote Leonardo．In all his activities，Leonardo was trying to discover the rules that control nature．In his search for those rules，he looked very carefully at a lot of examples and details．Actual experience was more important to him than opinion，and he worked from facts to ideas．（4）His purpose was to examine the world so he could copy it in beautiful paintings and sculptures．He also wanted to learn from the clever solutions of nature．
（5）His quick little sketches，often done while wandering outside，helped him to catch a movement or a shape．More careful drawings would be done at a desk with a pen and ruler．In July 2001，a small drawing by Leonardo was sold for ＄12 million．It was the most expensive drawing in the world．
A．Leonardo was always drawing．
B．How could these be connected with art？
C．Leonardo was also an influential philosopher．
D．Mathematicians and doctors worked to discover the unknown．
E．Above all，Leonardo wanted to understand how and why things worked．
F．Leonardo himself was a very good musician and liked to play an instrument and sing．
G．You will see a good example of such positioning in the painting of The Last Supper．組卷：9引用：2難度：0.5
