  托福阅读修辞目的题:Cave Art in Europe

  【Paragraph 3】The subjects of the paintings are mostly animals. The paintings rest on bare walls, with no backdrops or environmental trappings. Perhaps, like many contemporary peoples, Upper Paleolithic men and women believed that the drawing of a human image could cause death or injury, and if that were indeed their belief, it might explain why human figures are rarely depicted in cave art. Another explanation for the focus on animals might be that  these people sought to improve their luck at hunting. This theory is suggested by evidence of chips in the painted figures, perhaps made by spears thrown at the drawings. But if improving their hunting luck was the chief motivation for the paintings, it is difficult to explain why only a few show signs of having been speared. Perhaps the paintings were inspired by the need to increase the supply of animals. Cave art seems to have reached a peak toward the end of the UpperPaleolithic period, when the herds of game were decreasing.(Cave Art in Europe)

  Why does the author mention that Upper Paleolithic cave art seemed to have “reached a peak toward the end of the Upper Paleolithic period, when the herds of game were decreasing”?

  ○To argue that Upper Paleolithic art ceased to include animals when herds of game became scarce

  ○To provide support for the idea that the aim of the paintings was to increase the supply of animals for hunting

  ○To emphasize the continued improvement in the quality of cave art throughout the Upper Paleolithic period

  ○To show the direct connection between the decrease in herds of game and the end of the Upper Paleolithic period
