A
Easter (复活节) is still a great day for worship, candy in baskets and running around the yard
finding eggs, but every year it gets quite a bit worse for bunnies.
And no, not because the kids like to pull their ears. The culprit is climate change, and some
researchers found that rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at least five species of rabbit in
the US,
Take the Lower Keys Marsh rabbit, for instance. An endangered species that lives in the Lower
Florida Keys, this species of cottontail is a great swimmer -- it lives on the islands! -- but it is already
severely affected by
development and now by rising sea levels. According to the Center for Biological Diversity, an ocean
level rise of only 0.6 meters will send these ~ys jumping to higher ground and a 0.9-meter rise would
wipe out their habitat (栖息地) completely.
The snowshoe hare, on the other hand, has a color issue. Most of these rabbits change their fur color
from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer, each designed to give them better cover from
predators (~I~’) ~ As the number of days with snow decreases all across the country, however, more and
more bunnies are being left in white fur during brown dirt days of both fall and spring, making them an
easier mark for predators. Researchers know that the color change is controlled by the number of hours
of sunlight, but whether the rabbit will be able to adapt quick enough to survive is a big question. The
National Wildlife Federation has reported that hunters have noticed their numbers are already markedly
down.
American pikas or rock rabbits, a relative of rabbits and hares, might be the first of these species to
go extinct due to climate change. About 7-8 inches long, pikas live high in the cool. damp mountains
west of the Rocky Mountains. As global temperatures rise, they would naturally migrate (J~2~) to higher
ground -- but they already occupy the mountaintops. They can’t go any higher. The National Wildlife
Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their habitat heats up.
The volcano rabbit has the same problem. These rabbits live on the slopes of volcanoes in Mexico,
and recent studies have shown that the lower range of their habitat has already shifted upward about 700
meters, but there are not suitable plants for them to move higher, so they are stuck in the middle.
Scientists are concerned about their populations.
Native to the US, pygmy rabbits weigh less than 1 pound and live in the American West. They are
believed to be the smallest rabbits in the world. Their habitats have been destroyed by development.
Several populations, such as the Columbia Basin pygmy, almost went extinct and were saved by zoo
breeding programs. Pygmy rabbits also rely on winter cover by digging tunnels through the snow to
escape predators, but lesser snowfall is leaving them exposed.
All of this gives new meaning to dressing up in a giant bunny costume this Easter.
41. The writer mentions Easter at the beginning of the passage in order to
A. show the importance of Easter Day B. introduce the issue about bunnies
C. remind people of Easter traditions D. discuss the relationship between Easter and
bunnies
42. The word “culprit” (Paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to_________
A. criminal B. judge C. victim D. producer
43. According to the passage, some rabbits can now be easily discovered by predators because they
A. are exposed to more skillful hunters
B. have moved to habitats with fewer plants
C. haven’t adapted themselves to climate change
4

D. can’t change their fur color into white in the fall and the spring
44. The problem faced by volcano rabbits and rock rabbits is that
A. both are affected by less snow B. both are affected by rising sea levels
C. neither can find enough food D. neither can migrate to higher places
45. Which best describes the writer’s tone in the passage?
A. Approving. B. Concerned. C. Enthusiastic. D. Doubtful.

Two friends have an argument that bleaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can
remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across
the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence,
threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the
terrible reality of violence
way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?
First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle
school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a
relatively minor insult (侮辱). For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a
peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn
can lead to violence. The problem isn't in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.
Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict
resolution (解决) stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm
the other person down as well. Rude words, name-calling, and accusation only add fuel to the emotional
fir On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes
out of control.
After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy for conflict resolution;
