九、阅读理解(2015·枣庄改编)(词数：约230; 建议用时：6分钟)
The long trunk of an elephant is a wonderful example of skill. The neck of four-footed animals is usually long, to have them reach their food without difficulty, but the elephant has a short neck, to make him more easily support the weight of his huge head and heavy teeth. His long trunk lets him get his food easily.
The trunk of an elephant is to him what the neck is to other animals. It is also a nose to him, for at the end of it there is an empty place like a cup, and in the bottom of the cup there are two holes, and the animal smells and breathes through them. It is an arm and a hand too, so that it has been said that the elephant carries his nose in his hand, and it might also have been said that he breathes by his hand.
At the end of the trunk, there is a strange part, about five inches long, which forms a finger. With this finger the animal can pick up the smallest piece of money from the ground, and he has been taught to make marks like letters with a pen.
The trunk of a full-grown elephant is about eight feet long. The elephant has such great strength that he can knock down a man with it.
46．The elephant has a short neck to support ________.
A．his leg B．his body
C．his arm D．his head and teeth
47．The trunk of the elephant helps him get his ________ easily.
A．side B．tail
C．food D．ear
48．The trunk of the elephant takes the place of the following except ________.
A．a neck B．a nose and a finger
C．an arm and a hand D．a leg
49．How does the elephant smell？Through two holes ________.
A．in the bottom of the cup
B．at the beginning of the trunk
C．in his head
D．in his face

Can you imagine having a cheetah(猎豹) as a pet in the house？Does it sound scary to you？But for a family in South Africa, one cheetah is treated as a VIP (Very Important Person) in the house.
The big cheetah is named Jolie, after the film star Angelina Jolie.________51 She can often be found eating from the kitchen table, taking a short sleep on the sofa, or even sleeping on Lucy and Jeff's bed. The big cat also sleeps and plays with another pet, the more usual one—a sheepdog(牧羊犬)．________52
Having a cheetah as a pet is unusual. At first, Mrs. Brown wasn't willing to keep a cheetah as a pet. She said, “________53But we are now happy that we did it—she is part of the family.”
Just like her name, four-year-old Jolie has achieved a celebrity status(名人地位) in the Browns' hometown. Fans often come to their home to take pictures of her.________54
However, a cheetah is always a cheetah.________55 “She always makes a mess in the house, urinating(小便) everywhere and chewing everything. It's her wild instincts(本能)，” said Mrs. Brown.
