TPO4托福阅读Passage2原文文本
Cave Art in Europe
The earliest discovered traces of art are beads and carvings, and then paintings, from sites dating back to the Upper Paleolithic We might expect that early artistic efforts would be crude, but the cave paintings of Spain and southern France show a marked degree of So do the naturalistic paintings on slabs of stone excavated in southern Some of those slabs appear to have been painted as much as 28,000 years ago, which suggests that painting in Africa is as old as painting in But painting may be even older than The early Australians may have painted on the walls of rock shelters and cliff faces at least 30,000 years ago, and maybe as much as 60,000 years
The researchers Peter Ucko and Andree Rosenfeld identified three principal locations of paintings in the caves of western Europe: (1) in obviously inhabited rock shelters and cave entrances; (2) in galleries immediately off the inhabited areas of caves; and (3) in the inner reaches of caves, whose difficulty of access has been interpreted by some as a sign that magical-religious activities were performed
The subjects of the paintings are mostly The paintings rest on bare walls, with no backdrops or environmental 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 Another explanation for the focus on animals might be that these people sought to improve their luck at This theory is suggested by evidence of chips in the painted figures, perhaps made by spears thrown at the 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 Perhaps the paintings were inspired by the need to increase the supply of Cave art seems to have reached a peak toward the end of the Upper Paleolithic period, when the herds of game were
The particular symbolic significance of the cave paintings in southwestern France is more explicitly revealed, perhaps, by the results of a study conducted by researchers Patricia Rice and Ann The data they present suggest that the animals portrayed in the cave paintings were mostly the ones that the painters preferred for meat and for materials such as For example, wild cattle (bovines) and horses are portrayed more often than we would expect by chance, probably because they were larger and heavier (meatier) than other animals in the In addition, the paintings mostly portray animals that the painters may have feared the most because of their size, speed, natural weapons such as tusks and horns, and the unpredictability of their That is, mammoths, bovines, and horses are portrayed more often than deer and Thus, the paintings are consistent with the idea that the art is related to the importance of hunting in the economy of Upper Paleolithic Consistent with this idea, according to the investigators, is the fact that the art of the cultural period that followed the Upper Paleolithic also seems to reflect how people got their But in that period, when getting food no longer depended on hunting large game animals (because they were becoming extinct), the art ceased to focus on portrayals of
Upper Paleolithic art was not confined to cave Many shafts of spears and similar objects were decorated with figures of The anthropologist Alexander Marshack has an interesting interpretation of some of the engravings made during the Upper He believes that as far back as 30,000 , hunters may have used a system of notation, engraved on bone and stone, to mark phases of the If this is true, it would mean that Upper Paleolithic people were capable of complex thought and were consciously aware of their In addition to other artworks, figurines representing the human female in exaggerated form have also been found at Upper Paleolithic It has been suggested that these figurines were an ideal type or an expression of a desire for

TPO4托福阅读Passage2解析
Question 1 of 14
正确答案：A
题目解析：mark: 标记，marked: 明显的，显著的。对应原文：We might expect that early artistic efforts would be crude, but the cave paintings of Spain and southern France show a marked degree of 所在句的上半句讲我们认为artistic efforts是比较粗劣的，后面来了个转折，说他们应该有怎么样的技巧，considerable相当的，正确。limited感情色彩反了，surprise意思太夸张，而且surprise也不一定是好，adequate意思过了。
Question 2 of 14
正确答案：B
题目解析：B 此题答案中的关键词很容易找，故使用排除法，从答案中都可以推断出问的是画的年代。原文一共提到了三个地方岩画的年龄，南非28000年前，欧洲和南非一样，澳洲30000年前，所以澳洲老，A错，同时D也错;B说28000年前，原文既然说欧洲和非洲一样，当然也是28000年前，所以B对;C刚好和原文说反，错。
Question 3 of 14
正确答案：A
题目解析：principal: 主要的。A是主要的;B是可能的;C是很好地保护;D是独特的，明显的。所以A的major是答案。对应原文：The researchers Peter Ucko and Andree Rosenfeld identified three principal locations of paintings in the caves of western Europe…说研究人员找到了三个什么样的地方存在岩画，这道题三个错误答案带进去都对，所以这个就是靠认识的了。
Question 4 of 14
正确答案：D
题目解析：D 以magical-religious activities做关键词定位至第三个位置，inner reach和difficult to access都说明D是正确的，因为四个答案中只有D提到了hard-to-reach places。
Question 5 of 14
正确答案：D
题目解析：D trappings: 装饰。trap最常见的意思是捕猎或者陷阱，但注意trappings，而且只有复数的时候有一个意思是装饰物。
Question 6 of 14
正确答案：C
题目解析：C 原文的结构是旧石器时代的人相信blablabla，如果真是这样，blablabla。A选项缺了如果真是这样那部分，缺失重要信息，错;B也犯了同样错误，而且B还偷换了原文的陈述对象，原文说upper Paleolithic的人怎么怎么样，被B换成了现代人怎么怎么样;C正确;D刚好说反了，不是不能解释，而是这个是可能的解释，错。
Question 7 of 14
正确答案：D
题目解析：问作者解释了chips in the painted animal figures是为什么，往前找：Another explanation for the focus on animals might be that these people sought to improve their luck at 找到之前的another explanation那句，说这些人把画的重点放在动物身上是为了提升自己在打猎时候的运气，所以D正确。B在倒数第二句有提到，但是这冥想是另外一个观点，从前一句的But知道，这已经和前文形成了转折，所以不是例子想要支撑的观点;AC在原文未提及。
Question 8 of 14
正确答案：B
题目解析：功能目的题，例子所在的那句说当猎物变少的时候，这样的岩画达到了高峰，往前看，之前一句说人们之所以画这样的画是因为想得到更多的猎物，所以这句话就是证明画画是想要更多的猎物，答案B正确。
Question 9 of 14
正确答案：C
题目解析：C 排除法，所有答案集中在这段的二四两句，第四句说到A和D两个答案，第二句说到B答案，原文只是说大的动物多画，没说是因为画画的人喜欢大动物的美，C没说，选。
Question 10 of 14
正确答案：A
题目解析：A 以deer和reindeer做关键词定位至原文第五句，接上题，说大的动物比诸如deer和reindeer这类小动物更多出现在岩画上，前文说因为怕那些大动物的很多方面才画，所以A对，B将两个概念杂合到一起，而且原文没说猎人对deer不感兴趣，错;9题B项说对，所以10题C项错;原文说有horn的是大型动物，不是deer，D错
Question 11 of 14
正确答案：C
题目解析：以following the upper Paleolithic做关键词定位至最后两句：But in that period, when getting food no longer depended on hunting large game animals (because they were becoming extinct), the art ceased to focus on portrayals of 这句话说：当获取食物不再依赖于捕猎大型动物，这个绘画艺术就不在专注于展现动物，C正确;A错，原文并没说不画大动物之后，就转向小型动物;还是反映生活的，B错;D从来没说。
Question 12 of 14
正确答案：B
题目解析：B，以complex thought and conscious awareness做关键词定位至本段第四句，因为有个代词it，说明这句跟前面的第三句有联系，前一句的具体例子是记录月相，B正确。
Question 13 of 14
正确答案：C
题目解析：C 三个过渡点，hunting说明D选项不可能，排除掉;some other explanation说明之前必须有其他的解释，但这个没用上;第三个就是therefore所表示的因果关系;A选项后的this与上文的指代关系明显，所以A排除;B选项之前有spears thrown at drawings，之后有having been speared，过渡紧密，排除，所以只有C正确，代入发现后面果然是另外一个explanation，所以C对。
Question 14 of 14
正确答案：AEF
题目解析：文章标题暗示有几种展开方向：艺术的特点(现象描述)/艺术的发展(历史叙述)/为什么画这些艺术(现象解释) 首段说旧石器时代艺术水平高，年代久，算是背景介绍 二段进入主题，说艺术发现的3个位置。
三段说一个特点，主要画动物，给出解释，各有褒贬。
四段说两个人的观点，给出正面支持。
五段从主题引申，扯到其他艺术。

C(some researchers believe)选项文章没有说，不选。
D(the cave)选项原文没说，不选。
E(some researchers have)选项对应原文第四段，正确。

阅读题目答案解析 第2篇
to paragraph 2, which of the following is a criticism of Clements" view of succession?
The principles of succession are more lawlike than Clements thought they
More evidence is needed to establish Clements’ predictions about
The details of succession are affected by random
Many of the factors that determine which plants will grow in an environment, such as the nature of the soil and the exposure to sun, do not change at
正确答案：C
题目解析：
C 本段较短，可以快速扫完，也可以用人名和succession做关键词定位至最后一句，说很多因素都可以影响succession，所以正确答案是C。D提到了many factors，但change是原文没说的，错;A的比较原文没说，错;B是最具有迷惑性的选项，因为原文说没有被证实，也就是已经建立了只是没证实，但B说需要更多证据来建立Clemens的预测，也就是没建立，而且预测也不对，所以A错。
word “substantiated” in the passage is closest in meaning to
confirmed
noticed
defined
publicized
正确答案：A
题目解析：
A substantiate: 证实，确认。A是确证;B是发现;C是定义;D是宣传。所以正确答案是A的confirm。
word “trend” in the passage is closest in meaning to
probability
picture
lawlike regularity
tendency
正确答案：D
题目解析：
D, trend: 趋势。A是可能性;B是图片，景色;C是想法律一样的规则性;D是趋势。所以D的tendency正确。
word “likewise” in the passage is closest in meaning to
sometimes
similarly
apparently
consequently
正确答案：B
题目解析：
B likewise: 同样地，此外。A是有时候;相似的;明显的;因此，结果。所以B的similarly是正确答案。
word “legitimately” in the passage is closest in meaning to
commonly
broadly
properly
officially
正确答案：C
题目解析：
C 这道题很多同学误选 其实，C properly 更好。前句说一些学者接受Clements， 对于climax的concept, 但拒绝C对于climax作为superorganism特征的概括。然后做了一个对比区分。An ant colony may be legitimately called a superorganism…. But there is no evidence for such an interacting communicative network in a climax plant 这个对比区分的是两个范畴，动物的和植物的。如果把legitimately 理解为officially, formally,应该只举一个植物范畴的例子，构成“正式、官方、权威”和实际情况的转折。现在是两个范畴的对比，应该理解成：
一个领域“合理，有道理，正确”，另外一个领域“没有证据，没有道理”
to paragraph 4, why do many authors prefer the term “association” to “community” when describing a climax plant formation?
Because the term “association” does not suggest the presence of a tight network involving interactive
Because the term “association” indicates that the grouping is not necessarily beneficial to all
Because the term “community” indicates continuing dynamic development that a climax formation does not
Because the term “community” suggests an organization that has been designed for a specific purpose
正确答案：A
题目解析：
A 细节题题，先读修辞点所在句子，in order to告诉你这句话中就含有目的了，将in order to后面的内容读了就找到答案，原句说为了强调这种互动的松散性，很多作者更愿意使用association，原文都说了是为了强调松散性，所以答案是A，不存在紧的network。B的beneficial to all members，C的dynamic development和D的specific purpose原文都没说。
paragraph 5, the author challenges the idea of a “biome” by noting that
there are usually no very strong connections among the plants and animals living in a place
plants and animals respond in the same way to the same circumstances
particular combinations of flora and fauna do not generally come about purely by chance
some animals are dependent on specific kinds of plants for food
正确答案：A
题目解析：
A 以biome做关键词定位至第二句，由于这句只是给出了biome的概念，没有challenge，所以往下看，下句说尽管有些动物与植物的关系是紧密的，但还是不能说biome，比如他们之间没有internal cohesion，所以答案是A，动植物之间没有紧密关系。B和C原文都没讲;D的food原文也没说，而且D也不是challenge上文提到的概念的，所以不对。
does the author make the statement, “Indeed, there are vast areas of spruce forest without moose” ?
To highlight a fact whose significance the ecologist Herbert Gleason had missed
To propose the idea that a spruce forest is by itself a superorganism
To emphasize that moose are not limited to a single kind of environment
To criticize the idea of a spruce-moose biome
正确答案：D
题目解析：
D 修辞目的题，修辞点就是一个句子，所以看前一句，前句说spruce种群不受moose是否存在的影响，依然还是一个例子，所以看中心句，注意这段文字的中心句不是第一句，而是上一题中提到的第二句，说spruce-moose biome是不对的，所以答案是D。
word “initiated” in the passage is closest in meaning to
approved
identified
started
foreseen
正确答案：C
题目解析：
C initiate: 开始，首创。A是同意;B是核实;C是开始;D是预见。所以正确答案是C的started。
to paragraph 5, Gleason’s opposition to the Clementsian views of plant ecology was based on the claim that plant species grow in places where
they can enter into mutually beneficial relationships with other species
conditions suit them, regardless of whether particular other species are present
habitats are available for a wide variety of plant and animal species
their requirements are met, and those of most other species are not
正确答案：B
题目解析：
B 以Christian和species做关键词定位至最后两句，倒数第二句说反对，最后一句说反对的原因，物种的分布取决于环境，只是自身生态学的结果。也就是跟其他物种无关，所以答案是B。既然说跟其他物种无关，A和D就不对，C也说了大量物种，与原文不同。
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 out essential
Unlike the terms “climax”, “biome,” and “superorganism,” which refer to the particular association of plants and animals at a given location, the term “ecosystem” refers specifically to the physical factors within an
The terms “climax,” “biome,” “superorganism,” and “ecosystem” all refer to the system of plants and animals in an associated environment, but some are more controversial than
When the older terms of ecology became too technical, they were replaced by the more popular and more widely used term “”
The term “ecosystem” gradually replaced discredited terms for the combination of a physical environment and the plants and animals living together in
正确答案：D
题目解析：
D原句当中的with结构是非主要成分，主要成分是：采用了ecosystem形容生物和环境的associated system，正确答案D。A的后半句错，eco不是单只physical factor，而是系统;B和C都错在将原句的主干和非主干混合，不选。
to paragraph 6, what did ecologists mainly study when the ecosystem concept was the dominant paradigm?
The physical factors present in different environments
The typical activities of animals and the effect of those activities on plants
The rates at which ecosystems changed from one kind to another
The flow of energy and matter through ecosystems
正确答案：D
题目解析：
D，以ecologist做关键词定位至最后一句，说生态学家最关注的是特定生态系统里物质与能量的传递及其速率，所以答案是D。A和B都没说，C的rate原文有说，但原文说的是物质和能量传递的速率，不是答案说的ecosystem改变的速率，所以C错。
at the four squares [■] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the Where would the sentence best fit ?
They may be more interested in researching, for example, the adaptations that some aquatic animals undergo to survive in dry desert
正确答案：C
题目解析：
C 两个过渡点，代词they和名词adaption，从名词adaption可以得出B或者C正确;代词they指的是倒数第二句中的younger ecologists，所以they应该放在名词之后，所以B错C对。

Question 1 of 14
正确答案：D
题目解析：以White-tailed deer做关键词定位至最后一句：The other species, the Columbian white-tailed deer, in earlier times was common in the open prairie country; it is now restricted to the low, marshy islands and flood plains along the lower Columbia 说白尾鹿过去是什么什么地方的，现在是什么什么地方的，也就是它们的生活环境发生了变化，所以D不再在原来的地方生活正确。A说反，white-tailed deer现在生活在lowlands和marshes，而不是A说的来源于;B的比较关系原文无提及;C的replace没有提及。
Question 2 of 14
正确答案：B
题目解析：段落倒数第二句“Deer may move from high-elevation browse areas in summer down to the lowland areas in late ”意思是：深秋时，鹿可能会从夏天高海拔吃草地区迁移到低地地区。深秋也就是快到冬天了，因为高地食物不够了，所以才去低地。对应B选项。很多同学会错选C，这部分同学应该是定位到了最后一句话：Even with snow on the ground, the high bushy understory is exposed; also snow and wind bring down leafy branches of cedar, hemlock, red alder, and other arboreal 说即使有雪覆盖地面，高的understory会暴露(understory指的是林下植被)，而且还说风会leafy branches吹下来。C虽然提到了understory，但是easier说法和原文不符，原文说的是高的understroy在会曝露出来，有一定局限性，也没体现出比起以前更简单。A在原文物体及;D说冬天迁徙与上文的late fall冲突，也错。
Question 3 of 14
正确答案：C
题目解析：inhibit: 阻止，阻拦。A是组成;B是结合;C是限制，约束;D是建立。根据词意，C正确。对应原文：Where the forest inhibits the growth of grass and other meadow plants, the black-tailed deer browses on huckleberry, salal, dogwood, and almost any other shrub or 后半句说鹿吃别的东西去了，说明没有这种草，也就是这种草没长起来，之前说森林怎么样了这种草的生长，当然是阻止，A组成B结合意思差不多，都不对。D建立完全不靠谱。
Question 4 of 14
正确答案：D
题目解析：in the same breath从表面意思上说就是在同一个呼吸的时候，其实能够猜出文中的意思应该是同时或者立刻之意，所以D的immediately对。A是没有耐心的;B是幽默的;C是连续不断地;D是立即地。对应原文：The early explorers and settlers told of abundant deer in the early 1800s and yet almost in the same breath bemoaned the lack of this succulent game 带回原文，说那些人知道1800年代有很多鹿，但怎么样他们又因为没有鹿而难过，A没耐心B不幽默都不靠谱，C持续不能表达当时人们失望的心情，而且原文也没有信息说持续难过，不对。
Question 5 of 14
正确答案：A
题目解析：功能目的题，往前看，这两个人明显是早期探险家的一个例子，读前句说他们知道原本有很多鹿的但又没找到，很显然这句话不足以作为一个观点，往前看本段中心句：
The numbers of deer have fluctuated markedly since the entry of Europeans into Puget Sound 本段中心句说鹿的数量变化很大，对应A选项的varied，所以A正确。BCD都没有提及。
Question 6 of 14
正确答案：C
题目解析：以人名和时间做关键词定位至最后一句：A recent Douglas biographer states:" The deer which once picturesquely dotted the meadows around the fort were gone in 1832, hunted to extermination in order to protect the " 说那些鹿gone了，还有被hunt了，所以应该是没有鹿了，B说反，C对;作者只是说把鹿打死为了保护农作物，没说农作物的产量上升，D不对;A没说。
Question 7 of 14
正确答案：A
题目解析：功能目的题，往前看，前句说the numbers of deer declined still further，鹿的数量进一步下降，然后才让读者recall哥伦比亚白尾鹿的例子，也就是说白尾鹿就是人类破坏生存环境导致鹿群数量下降的一个证明，所以答案A正确。
Question 8 of 14
正确答案：A
题目解析：A indefinite: 不定的。indefinite period: 没有限制的时间段。B没有如期开始，C非常短，D不重要都和不定没关系，不靠谱，A答案说这段时间的末端还没定下来，含有不定的意思，正确。
Question 9 of 14
正确答案：B
题目解析：B 问整个第四段，看首句，而且首句说reduction in numbers，与问题中的deer population重合，说鹿数量的下降预示它们的生存变得艰难，但看选项发现没有与之重合的选项，于是可以继续往下看，下面就说到有的鹿群完蛋了，但同时也有的鹿群繁盛了，众多答案中只有B说到鹿的数量增加，所以答案是B。当然也可以排除法，A选项关于1940s原文说early 1940s，跟答案说的1940s不一样，错;C说黑尾鹿没有了，刚好和原文黑尾鹿数量增加相反，错;原文没有冬夏对比，D错。
Question 10 of 14
正确答案：B
题目解析：B rebound: 反弹。A是下降;B是恢复;C是交换;D是移动。根据词意，正确答案就是B。
Question 11 of 14
正确答案：B
题目解析：B : in addition那部分和后面like举的那两个例子，都是非常次要的信息，可以忽略不看。主干部分缩略一下，去掉一些修饰成分后就变成：AE发现了browse in open areas更加有营养。longtime那里是对这个人的一个修饰(同位语成分)。B选项将主要内容复述了出来。A错在随意篡改语句的注意，原句根本没提到这个人的family;C错在biologist like E，这改变了原文的主语，而且it is important原句没有说;D把原文的非主干部分提升成改写之后句子的主干，结构改变，而且遗漏了主干内容，错。
Question 12 of 14
正确答案：D
题目解析：D，排除法，原文第一句就说这段主要就在说鹿群数量增加的原因，然后分别用first，second和but the most表明了三个原因，分别对应选项A/B/C选项，所以D是没说的，选D。
Question 13 of 14
正确答案：B
题目解析：B 有三个点，一是副词there指一个地点，所以在正确插入点之前必须存在一个地点，按这个来看，只有B和D有可能;第二和第三个点是待插入句当中的两个名词food和winter，按照上下句有名词重叠的原则，B对D错。
Question 14 of 14
正确答案：BCE
题目解析：The balance选项前半句是对的，但后半句与第一段的最后两句说反，应该是黑多，错 Deer populations选项对应原文第三段首句和第四段第二三句，正确。in the long term选项对应原文第五段首句，第二句和第四句，正确。because选项太细节，不选。although选项对应原文第四段首句和第五句，正确。wildlife选项原文没有提及，错。

关于钟乳石的形成
石灰岩洞中的钟乳石、石笋是怎样形成的
桂林是世界闻名的风景区，山奇水秀，风景美丽，因此自古就有“桂林山水甲天下”之称。桂林除山水美之外，还有更具特色的石灰岩洞，七星岩是比较有代表性的溶洞。洞内到处悬垂着美丽的钟乳石，有的像累累的果实，有的像盛开的花朵。与之相对应的石笋拔地而起，一个个像春天从地面下“冒”出来的竹笋。
那么这些奇丽的钟乳石和石笋是怎样形成的呢?
原来“盛产”钟乳石和石笋的溶洞都是石灰岩构成的。洞顶有很多的裂隙，每一处裂隙里都有水滴渗透出来。每当水分蒸发掉后，那里就会留下一些石灰质的沉淀，日积月累，天长日久洞顶上的石灰质愈积愈多，终于形成了乳头。以后，乳头外面又包起一层石灰质，以至越垂越长，就形成了姿态万千的钟乳石。
石笋其实就是钟乳石的孪生兄弟。当洞顶上的水滴落下来时，石灰质也在地面上沉积起来，就这样石笋对着钟乳石向上长起来，若是说钟乳石是“兄长”，那石笋就是“孪生弟弟”了。
而石笋底盘大，本身比较稳定不易折断，所以它比钟乳石的生长速度还要快，还要粗壮呢。

Deer Populations of the Puget Sound
Two species of deer have been prevalent in the Puget Sound area of Washington State in the Pacific Northwest of the United The black-tailed deer, a lowland, west-side cousin of the mule deer of eastern Washington, is now the most The other species, the Columbian white-tailed deer, in earlier times was common in the open prairie country; it is now restricted to the low, marshy islands and flood plains along the lower Columbia
Nearly any kind of plant of the forest understory can be part of a deer"s Where the forest inhibits the growth of grass and other meadow plants, the black-tailed deer browses on huckleberry, salal, dogwood, and almost any other shrub or But this is fair-weather What keeps the black-tailed deer alive in the harsher seasons of plant decay and dormancy? One compensationfor not hibernating is the built-in urge to Deer may move from high-elevation browse areas in summer down to the lowland areas in late Even with snow on the ground, the high bushy understory is exposed; also snow and wind bring down leafy branches of cedar, hemlock, red alder, and other arboreal
The numbers of deer have fluctuated markedly since the entry of Europeans into Puget Sound The early explorers and settlers told of abundant deer in the early 1800s and yet almost in the same breath bemoaned the lack of this succulent game Famous explorers of the north American frontier, Lewis and Clark arrived at the mouth of the Columbia River on November 14, 1805, in nearly starved They had experienced great difficulty finding game west of the Rockies and not until the second of December did they kill their first To keep 40 people alive that winter, they consumed approximately 150 elk and 20 And when game moved out of the lowlands in early spring, the expedition decided to return east rather than face possible Later on in the early years of the nineteenth century, when Fort Vancouver became the headquarters of the Hudson"s Bay Company, deer populations continued to David Douglas, Scottish botanical explorer of the 1830s, found a disturbing change in the animal life around the fort during the period between his first visit in 1825 and his final contact with the fort in A recent Douglas biographer states:" The deer which once picturesquely dotted the meadows around the fort were gone [in 1832], hunted to extermination in order to protect the
Reduction in numbers of game should have boded ill for their survival in later A worsening of the plight of deer was to be expected as settlers encroached on the land, logging, burning, and clearing, eventually replacing a wilderness landscape with roads, cities, towns, and No doubt the numbers of deer declined still Recall the fate of the Columbian white-tailed deer, now in a protected But for the black-tailed deer, human pressure has had just the opposite Wildlife zoologist Helmut Buechner(1953), in reviewing the nature of biotic changes in Washington through recorded time, says that "since the early 1940s, the state has had more deer than at any other time in its history, the winter population fluctuating around approximately 320,000 deer (mule and black-tailed deer), which will yield about 65,000 of either sex and any age annually for an indefinite "
The causes of this population rebound are consequences of other human First, the major predators of deer—wolves, cougar, and lynx—have been greatly reduced in Second, conservation has been insured by limiting times for and types of But the most profoundreason for the restoration of high population numbers has been the fate of the Great tracts of lowland country deforested by logging, fire, or both have become ideal feeding grounds of addition to finding an increase of suitable browse, like huckleberry and vine maple, Arthur Einarsen, longtime game biologist in the Pacific Northwest, found quality of browse in the open areas to be substantially more The protein content of shade-grown vegetation, for example, was much lower than that for plants grown in

Paleolithic Cave Paintings
In any investigation of the origins of art, attention focuses on the cave paintings created in Europe during the Paleolithic era ( 40,000-10,000 years ago) such as those depicting bulls and other animals in the Lascaux cave in Accepting that they are the best preserved and most visible signs of what was a global creative explosion, how do we start to explain their appearance? Instinctively, we may want to update the earliest human artists by assuming that they painted for the sheer joy of The philosophers of Classical Greece recognized it as a defining trait of humans to "delight in works of imitation"—to enjoy the very act and triumph of If we were close to a real lion or snake, we might feel But a well- executed picture of a lion or snake will give us Why suppose that our Paleolithic ancestors were any different?
This simple acceptance of art for art"s sake has a certain To think of Lascaux as a gallery allows it to be a sort of special viewing place where the handiwork of accomplished artists might be Plausibly, daily existence in parts of Paleolithic Europe may not have been so hard, with an abundance of ready food and therefore the leisure time for The problems with this explanation, however, are In the first place, the proliferation of archaeological discoveries—and this includes some of the world"s innumerablerock art sites that cannot be dated—has served to emphasize a remarkablylimited repertoire of The images that recur are those of figures are unusual, and when they do make an appearance, they are rarely done with the same attention to form accorded to the If Paleolithic artists were simply seeking to represent the beauty of the world around them, would they not have left a far greater range of pictures—of trees, flowers, of the Sun and the stars?
A further question to the theory of art for art"s sake is posed by the high incidence of Paleolithic images that appear not to be imitative of any reality These are geometrical shapes or patterns consisting of dots or Such marks may be found isolated or repeated over a particular surface but also scattered across more recognizable A good example of this may be seen in the geologically spectacular grotto of Pêche Merle, in the Lot region of Here we encounter some favorite animals from the Paleolithicrepertoire—a pair of stout-bellied But over and around the horses" outlines are multiple dark spots, daubed in disregard for the otherwise naturalistic representation of What does such patterning imitate?There is also the factor of The caves of Lascaux might conceivably qualify as underground galleries, but many other paintings have been found in recesses totally unsuitable for any kind of viewing—tight nooks and crannies that must have been awkward even for the artists to penetrate, let alone for anyone else wanting to see the

Hunting is a Tracking, stalking, chasing, and killing the prey are difficult, sometimes dangerous What if the process could be made easier—by art? In the early decades of the twentieth century, Abbé Henri Breuil argued that the cave paintings were all about “sympathetic ” The artists strived diligently to make their animal images evocative and realistic because they were attempting to capture the spirit of their What could have prompted their studious attention to making such naturalistic, recognizable images?According to Breuil, the artists may have believed that if a hunter were able to make a true likeness of some animal, then that animal was virtually , therefore, may have had the magical capacity to confer success or luck in the
