Reading Comprehension
Questions 84–92 are about the following passage.When another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not usually news. Rather, it is an ordinaryevent. Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays heed to them.However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940, the world was amazed. Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago. The scenes show people hunting animals, such as bison or wild cats. Other images depict birds and, most noticeably, horses, which appear in more than 300 wall images, by far outnumbering all other animals.Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a monumental and difficult task. THEY did not limitthemselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex. Unfortunately, the paintings have beenexposed to the destructive action of water and temperature changes, which easily wear the images away. Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances, air movement has also damaged the images inside. Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago, many of the images have deteriorated and are barely recognizable. To prevent further damage, the site was closed to tourists in 1963, 23 years after it was discovered.

Being struck by lightning means:
Reading Comprehension
Questions 93–95 are about the following passage. Lightning is an electrical discharge that occurs in a thunderstorm. Often you’ll see it in the form of a bright “bolt” (or streak) coming from the sky. Lightning occurs when static electricity inside clouds builds up and causes an electrical charge. What causes the static electricity? Water! Specifically, water droplets collide with ice crystals after the temperature in the cloud falls below freezing. Sometimes these collisions are small, but other times they’re quite large. Large collisions cause large electrical charges, and when they’re large enough, look out! The hyper-charged cloud will emit a burst of lightning. This lightning looks quite impressive. For a good reason, too: A lightning bolt’s temperature gets so hot that it’s sometimes five times hotter than the sun’s surface. Although the lightning bolt is hot, though, it’s also short-lived. Because of that, when a person is unfortunate enough to be struck by lightning, their odds of surviving are pretty good. Statistics show that 90% of victims survive a lightning blast. Oh, and that old saying, “Lightning never strikes twice in the same spot”? It’s a myth! Many people report surviving lightning blasts three or more times. What’s more, lightning strikes some skyscrapers multiple times. The other prominent feature of lightning storms is the thunder. This is caused by the super-heated air around a lightning bolt expands at the speed of sound. We hear thunder after seeing the lightning bolt because sound travels slower than the speed of light. In reality, though, both occur at the same moment
