When another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not usually news. Rather, it is an ordinary event. 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 limit themselves 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 been exposed 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.
Based on the passage, what is probably true about the south of France?
A. It is home to rare animals.
B. It is known for horse-racing events,
C. It has attracted many famous artists.
D. It has a large number of caves.

Dịch nghĩa: “Khi một hang động cổ khác được phát hiện ở miền nam nước Pháp, đó không thường là tin tức. Thay vào đó, nó là một sự kiện bình thường. Những phát hiện như vậy ngày nay rất thường xuyên đến mức hầu như không ai chú ý đến chúng. Tuy nhiên, khi khu phức hợp hang động Lascaux được phát hiện vào năm 1940, cả thế giới đã kinh ngạc.
Trực tiếp vẽ trên các bức tường của nó là hàng trăm cảnh mô tả cách mọi người sống hàng ngàn năm trước. Các cảnh cho thấy người ta săn bắt động vật như bò rừng hoặc mèo hoang. Các hình ảnh khác mô tả các loài chim và, đáng chú ý nhất, ngựa, xuất hiện trong hơn 300 hình ảnh trên tường, nhiều hơn hẳn tất cả các loài động vật khác.
Những nghệ sĩ cổ đại vẽ những con vật này đã hoàn thành một nhiệm vụ to lớn và khó khăn. “Họ” không chỉ giới hạn mình trên những bức tường dễ tiếp cận mà còn mang vật liệu vẽ của mình đến những không gian đòi hỏi phải leo lên những bức tường dốc hoặc bò vào những lối đi hẹp trong khu phức hợp Lascaux.
Không may, những bức tranh này đã bị phá hoại bởi tác động của nước và thay đổi nhiệt độ, dễ dàng làm mờ đi các hình ảnh. Vì hang động Lascaux có nhiều lối vào, sự di chuyển của không khí cũng đã làm hỏng các hình ảnh bên trong. Mặc dù chúng không nằm ngoài không khí tự nhiên, nơi ánh sáng tự nhiên sẽ phá hủy chúng từ lâu, nhiều hình ảnh đã bị suy thoái và hầu như không thể nhận ra. Để ngăn chặn sự hư hỏng thêm, địa điểm này đã được đóng cửa đối với du khách vào năm 1963, 23 năm sau khi nó được phát hiện.
Dựa vào đoạn văn, điều gì có lẽ đúng về miền nam nước Pháp?
A. Đây là nơi sinh sống của các loài động vật quý hiếm.
B. Nó được biết đến với các sự kiện đua ngựa,
C. Nó đã thu hút nhiều nghệ sĩ nổi tiếng.
D. Nó có rất nhiều hang động.
