I have just come home after viewing
some astonishing works of art that were recently discovered in Church Hole cave
in Nottinghamshire. They are not drawings, as one would expect, but etchings,
and they depict a huge range of wild animals. The artists who created them lived
around 13,000 years ago, and the images are remarkable on a variety of counts.
First of all, their sheer number is staggering, there are ninety all told.
Moreover, fifty-eight of them are on the ceiling. This is extremely rare in cave
art, according to a leading expert, Dr Wilbur Samson of Central Midlands
University. Wall pictures are the norm, he says, "But more importantly, the
Church Hole etchings are an incredible artistic achievement. They can hold their
own in comparison with the best found in continental Europe." I am not a student
of the subject, so I have to take his word for A. (A) unique examples of ceiling art B. (B) particularly beautiful cave paintings C. (C) superior in quality to other cave art in Britain D. (D) aesthetically exceptional [单项选择]
