黃金閱讀21 Cave Art in Europe 第10題 - 英檢

Paragraph 4：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 Paterson. 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
hides. 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 environment. 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 behavior. That is, mammoths, bovines, and horses
are portrayed more often than deer and reindeer. Thus, the paintings are
consistent with the idea that the art is related to the importance of hunting
in the economy of Upper Paleolithic people. 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 food. 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 animals.

10．According to paragraph 4, which of the following may best represent the
attitude of hunters toward deer and reindeer in the Upper Paleolithic period?
○Hunters did not fear deer and reindeers as much as they did large game
animals such as horses and mammoths.
○Hunters were not interested in hunting deer and reindeer because of their
size and speed.
○Hunters preferred the meat and hides of deer and reindeer to those of other
animals.
○Hunters avoided deer and reindeer because of their natural weapons, such as
horns.

答案是1 可是4是錯在哪邊呢?? 而且1這樣說 文章裡不是說獵人害怕deer and
reindeers的SPEED或他們的natural weapons?
讓我有點不懂 麻煩知道的大大不吝指教@@
