　　托福阅读句子简化题：the Australia Aborigines

　　【Paragraph 4】Although the remarkable antiquity of Australia’s rock art is now established, the sequences and　meanings of its images have been widely debated. Since the mid-1970s, a reasonably stable picture has formed of the　　organization of Australian rock art. In order to create a sense of structure to this picture, researchers have relied on a　distinction that still underlies the forms of much indigenous visual culture—a distinction between geometric and figurative　elements. Simple geometric repeated patterns—circles, concentric circles, and lines—constitute the iconography　　(characteristic images) of the earliest rock-art sites found across Australia. The frequency with which certain simple　motifs appear in these oldest sites has led rock-art researchers to adopt a descriptive term—the Panaramitee style—a　label which takes its name from the extensive rock pavements at Panaramitee North in desert South Australia, which are　　covered with motifs pecked into the surface. Certain features of these engravings lead to the conclusion that they are ofgreat age—geological changes had clearly happened after the designs had been made and local Aboriginal informants,　　when first questioned about them, seemed to know nothing of their origins. Furthermore, the designs were covered with　“desert varnish,” a glaze that develops on rock surfaces over thousands of years of exposure to the elements. Theimple motifs found at Panaramitee are common to many rock-art sites across Australia. Indeed, sites with engravings of　geometric shapes are also to be found on the island of Tasmania, which was separated from the mainland of the　　continent some 10,000 years ago.(Rock Art of the Australia Aborigines)

　　Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage?　　Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave ways or leave out essential information

　　○ The oldest rock art sites have simpler motifs than the best known sites of Panaramitee North.

　　○ Because motifs primarily associated with the Panaramitee region are common in the oldest sites the term　Panaramitee style has become the general term for rock art of this type.

　　○ Because the Panaramitee style is so common in the older sites, researchers have described it most extensively.

　　○ The motifs carved in the rocky surface of the Panaramitee region make up the oldest form of rock art discovered in　Australia.
