Researchers studied the bones of cats, dogs, deer and other animals unearthed in an excavation (挖掘) near a village in Central China. By using some ways, scientists showed that the cats were living on a mostly millet(黍)based diet, just like the domesticated dogs and pigs from the site.The most reasonable explanation for a high consumption of milletbased food is that the cats had formed a stable and mutual relationship with humans and could easily feed on rodents (啮齿动物) around human villages, find leftover food or even have been fed by people intentionally, said Hu Yaowu from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, whose research focuses on the relationship between humans and domesticated animals.It is very interesting for us to find the consumption of millet-based foods by the cats, since this kind of evidence had long been missing.” Hu explains. Since cats usually eat meat, such a diet would be unexpected, unless the cats were being fed by people, the study argues. The researchers also found that one of the cats survived to reach old age, implying that it had a safe place to live and enough to eat.Why the farmers wanted to keep cats nearby or make them pets could be answered by other evidence. Chinese archaeologists found some storage containers were specifically designed to keep out rodents a vermin (害兽) that cats could certainly have helped with.The simplified theory is that rats were attracted to the food of farmers, and so were harmful to farmers. Cats were attracted to the rats, and so farmers formed a mutually beneficial relationship with cats, taking care of them in return for pest control.（1）The evidence found in the remains dating back to prehistoric Cyprus means .A . human made cats pets as early as 9,500 years agoB . human interacted with cats very earlyC . cats didnt appear until prehistoric CyprusD . when cats became domesticated（2）Apart from cats, Hu Yaowu and his teams may also study .A . the preventions of pests from grainsB . the history of Chinese farmingC . the dogs and pigsD . the ways to keep pets（3）Which of the following is NOT the evidence of Chinese farms keeping cats?A . Cats didnt feed on meat.B . The cats consumed large amounts of milletbased foods.C . One of the cats survived to reach old age.D . Some storage containers were specifically designed to keep out rodents.（4）What are the reasons for farmers to keep cats?A . Helping keep other domesticated animals.B . Not letting cats eat food.C . Supplying meat for human.D . Helping reduce the amount of pests.（5）In which part of a newspaper would be the passage most probably appear .A . EntertainmentB . EnvironmentC . Human and ScienceD . Life and fashion4. （10分） Everyone needs friends. Friends bring us happiness and hope in our lives. But the ability to make friends changes from person to person.
