If you see a house cat, the_____41_____are high that it will have white paws, a look that

many owners affectionately call“socks." But socks are rarely seen in wildcats, the elusive and

undomesticated cousin of the house cat, so why do so many pet cats sport furry white feet?

As it turns out, this story started about 10,000 years ago, when humans and cats _____42 _____

life was better together.

This_____43 _____eventually led to uber-prevalent socks on cats, as well as other well-known

coat patterns, said Leslie Lyons, professor emerita and head of the Feline Genetics Laboratory at

the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine.

“As humans became farmers and started staying in one place, they had grain stores and waste

piles” that attracted rodents, Lyons said. It was a mutually beneficial arrangement: the humans had

fewer rodents to deal with and the cats got an easy meal.

The wild, undomesticated ancestor species of house cats, Felis silvestris, lives in Africa and

Eurasia. These felines are tasty snacks as kittens and stealthy predators as adults, so _____44

_____ born with a coat that offers camouflage (保护色)have tended to survive and reproduce.

But not every F. silvestiis is born with a coat that blends into its habitat.

"Genetic mutations are occurring all the time.” Lyons said.

There isn't much evidence to indicate why early cat people chose the individuals they did, but

Lyons said the range of coats seen on modern domestic cats shows that our agrarian ancestors

favored cats with markings that would have _____45 _____with their camouflage.

In its native mixed forest or scrub desert environment, a cat with stark white paws would have

stood out to predators and prey.

When humans started taking an interest in cats, these white paws would have stood out to them,

too. “There were probably people saying,‘I particularly like that kitten because it has white feet .

Let's make sure it survives, Lyons said.

Humans probably also_____46 _____cats who were calm and comfortable around humans,

Lyons said. Behavioral traits seem unrelated to coat color, but for reasons that scientists don't fully

understand, white spots tend to appear when the _____47 _____individuals are selected and bred.

These_____48_____fur colors and markings emerge while a cat embryo is developing. The

cells that give cat fur its color first appear as neural crest cells, which are located along what will

become the back, Lyons said.

Then, those cells slowly migrate down and around the body. If those waves of cells move far

enough to meet each other on the cat's front side, the embryo will be born a solid-colored kitten,

such as an all-black or all-orange cat. Felines _____49 _____white feet, faces, chests and bellies

when these cells don't quite make it all the way.

So, the next time you see a kitty wearing white socks, you'll know that this _____50 _____

feature is a result of genetic mutations, domestication and developmental biology. Although if you

try telling the cat that, it will probably just look at you quizzically before sauntering away.

(B)

A. initially B. formed C. societies D. map AB. officially

AC. constructed AD. potentially BC. investigate BD. perspective. CD. boundaries

ABC. consideration

has_____51_____begun in Australia after three decades in development.

when the first stars and galaxies were _____52_____.

It will also be used to _____53 _____dark energy and why the universe is expanding, and to
