Many people believe that language belongs to human beings. However, cats have developed a language not for each other, but for the human beings who have them as pets.
When communicating with each other, cats “talk” with a system of signals. Their tails, rather than any kind of “speech”, act as an important way to express themselves. They also touch each other to express s their feelings. With other cats, they will use their voices only to express pain. Unbelievable, all of that changes when a human walks into the room. Cats use many different kinds of vocal (声音的) expressions when they communicate with a person. Since these vocal expressions are not used to communicate with other cats, it seems that cats developed this “language” to communicate with their human owners.
This fact is shown more clearly when watching rooms that have only one cat and those with several cats. An only cat is usually very vocal, since the only creature(动物)around with whom the cat can communicate is its owner. Cats with other cats, though, are much quieter. If they want to have a conversation, they only need go to other cats and communicate in their natural way.
Since cats learned to meow(喵喵叫)for the only purpose of communicating with human owners should take the time to learn what their different meows mean. If an owner knows, to name just a few examples, which meow means the cat is hungry, which means the cat wants to be petted, and which means the cat wants to have a little “conversation”, the relationship between cat and owner will be closer.
（1）If a cat among other cats finds part of its body hurts, it may express its pain with its________.
A.tail
B.eyes
C.voice
D.head
（2）When a human enters a room full of cats, they________.
A.begin to use vocal expressions
B.use their tails to show love
C.stop making any noise an
D.stop communicating with each other
（3）What are cat owners advised to do?
A.Encourage cats to talk with each other.
B.Communicate more with cats.
C.Learn to meow in different ways.
D.Teach cats to understand human language.
（4）What is the text mainly about?
A.Communication among cats
B.pets' different expressions.
C.Advice on keeping pets
D.The language of cats.

【答案】
（1）C
（2）A
（3）B
（4）D

【题目】Five eggs the size of Ping-Pong balls crack open as the tiny desert tortoises inside break through the shells. The two-inch-long babies immediately crawl off in search of flowers and grasses to eat. These animals may be newly hatched, but they already have survival skills that will allow them to thrive in their severe and hot habitats.

Desert tortoise live in the deserts of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. During the summer, ground temperatures in parts of their range can hit 140oF.

And the holes can get pretty crowded. As many as 25 desert tortoises might stay together in one shelter.

The animals also dig grooves(沟)into the ground’s surface to catch rainwater. After a storm, they’ll return to these holes to drink the water that’s collected inside. Once it has had a good drink, a desert tortoise can go up to a year without requiring fresh water again. The tortoise stores the water it has consumed in its bladder and can later absorb the liquid when it needs to hydrate.

Despite sometimes hanging out in holes together, desert tortoises are pretty solitary. And sometimes when males come across each other, they’ll fight to establish governance. The fighting tortoises may use horns(角)on their chests to try and knock each other over. The contest ends when one animal turns over the other on its back. The losing tortoise can turn right side up by wiggling(摆动)its body back and forth until it flips(翻转)over. But after that, the tortoise knows who’s the boss.

There are not enough seats in our school’s reading room. One morning just before our finally examination, I got there very early to occupying a seat. I put a book on the desk and then went to have a breakfast. While I came back, I found someone was sitting on the seat which I had occupied in the advance.
