【R2】______Temples were built in their honour. Probably the most revered of animal deities was Bast, the cat-headed goddess.【R3】______Occasionally, Bast was depicted as lion-headed, but the majority of the statues of her show her as cat-headed, often surrounded by sacred cats or kittens.

An Alexandrian speculator finally thought of a way of turning them into money. He offered them for sale as manure and in 1890 he had a cargo of 180,000 of them shipped to Liverpool.【R7】______They mad less than £4 a ton, much less than the value of a single specimen today.
The ancient Jews believed that when a religious person who had reached a high degree of sanctity died, his soul entered the body of a cat and remained there until the cat itself died a natural death. 【R8】______

B. The relationship between the cat and Man has not been constant, however.

【R5】
选项
答案
G
解析
本段讲的是在Bubastis附近的一个墓地里发现了成千上万的猫木乃伊。由此可推测出古代埃及人把猫制成木乃伊并且像安葬人类一样安葬起来。所以G选项符合题意。
