四、阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）
(A)
We are always using body language in our daily life. When we have a conversation with someone, we may be using more body language than words. However, the same body language may mean different things in different countries. That’s why people sometimes do not understand each other correctly.
Pointing to one part of the body can mean differently in different cultures. For example, in the USA people point to their heads when they think someone is clever. However, in Europe it means ‘He or she is stupid or somethi ng is wrong with his or her head’. In our Chinese culture, nodding our head up and down means ‘yes’ and shaking our head from side to side means ‘no’. However, in parts of India, Greece and Turkey, it means just the opposite. In England or the USA, when you raise your hand and make a circle with the thumb and the second finger, it means ‘You’re all right or Everything is OK’. However, if we do this in France or Belgium, it means ‘You’re worth zero’. In Greece or Turkey, we should not make this gesture（手势）. Or we are thought to be very rude.
The meaning of gestures can also change over time. In the 1960s, the V sign meant ‘peace’. However, during World War II, it meant ‘victory’. In Greece, it is a very insulting（污辱性）sign.
Though the meaning of body language is different, there are some expressions having the same meaning throughout the world, such as smiling and crying.
( ) 1. In England, if people point to their heads it means they think someone is _________.
A. clever
B. stupid
C. headache
D. angry
( ) 2.In India, if one nods his head up and down, it means he ______.
A. doesn't agree
B. agree
C. is happy
D. is sad
( ) 3. In France, if you raise your hand and make a circle with the thumb and the second finger, it means ________.
A. you are clever
B. everything is OK
C. it is true
D. you are worth nothing
( ) 4.Which country's body language is most different from our usual thinking?
A. France
B. England
C. Greece
D. India
( ) 5.V sign meant _______________ about forty years ago.
A. victory

C. festival
D. peace

六、任务型阅读（10分）
Many kinds of birds live in the United States, but the number of the birds is becoming smaller every year. One of the leading reasons is the growing number of pet cats. By keeping your pet cats in your home, you can help give birds a better possible chance to live.
Of the 90 million pet cats in this country, about two—thirds are allowed to go outside. It is said that these cats kill hundreds of millions of birds each year, as well as billions of small animals such as rabbits and field mice.
They can also bring illness to the animals that live in people's yard(院子), further weakening the health of the natural populations.
Allowing pet cats to go outside is not just bad for birds and wildlife, it's also bad for the cats themselves. Outdoor cats can get sick very easily. They are in danger from traffic and attacks(攻击)from other animals. In fact, outdoor cats usually don't live past the age of five, while indoor cats often live to be 17 or older.
Keep your pet cat inside! If you raise a young cat, it's your duty to let it play inside.
