这个深邃的窟窿是由一条地下暗泉冲刷岩石中的缝隙并使之逐渐变大而形成的此洞的洞口在丹芬阿尔卑斯山的高原上，仅6英尺宽，很难被人察觉若不是法国出名窟窿探险家伯杰由于偶然的机遇察觉了这个洞口的话，这个洞可能永远不会为人所知自从被察觉以后，这个洞成了窟窿探险者的珠穆朗玛峰，人们屡屡进入洞内探险，但至今尚有不少东西有待勘探 最近，一队窟窿探险者下到了高弗·伯杰洞里他们从高原上的窄缝进去，顺着笔直陡峭的洞壁往下爬，来到了一条狭窄的走廊上他们不得不侧着身子往前走，有时蹚过浅溪，有时游过深潭突然，他们来到一道瀑布前，那瀑布奔泻而下，注入洞底一处地下湖里他们跳入湖中，把各种器具装上一只充气橡皮艇，听任水流将他们带往对岸湖水冰冷刺骨，他们务必穿上一种特制的橡皮服以养护自己在湖的止境，他们见到一大堆一大堆由湖水冲刷上岸的碎石在这儿，他们可以听见一种连续不断的轰鸣声后来他们察觉这是由山洞顶部的一个小孔里喷出的水柱跌落到水潭中时发出的声音窟窿探险者从岩石缝里挤身过去，来到一个巨大的洞里，其大小相当于一个音乐厅他们开启强力弧光灯，望见一株株巨大的石笋，有的高达40英尺，像树干似地向上长着，与洞顶悬挂下来的钟乳石相接。

周边是一堆堆石灰石，像彩虹一样闪闪发光洞里有一种可怕的安宁，唯一可以听见的声响是高高的圆顶上不休止地滴水的嘀嗒声 Multiple choice questions多项选择题 Choose the correct answers to the following questions.
