    Easter(复活节) is still a great day for worship, randy 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. Theculpritis climate change, and some
    researchers found that rising temperatures arc having harmful effects on at least five species of rabbit in
    the US.
    Take the Lower Keys March 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 levels. According to the Center for Biological
    Diversity, an ocean level rise of only 0. 6 meters will send these guys 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(捕食者).  As the number of days with snow decreases all across the country, however, more
    and more bunnies arc 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 firs' 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 (迁徙) 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 beats 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.
    1 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
    2. The word "culprit" ( Paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to______.
    A. criminal
    B. judge
    C. victim
    D. producer
    3.According to the passage, some rabbits can now be easily Uncovered by predators because they___.
    A. are exposed lo more skillful hunters
    B. have moved to habitats with fewer plants
    C. haven't adapted themselves to climate change
    D. can't change their fur color into white in the fall and the spring
    4. The problem faced by volcano rabbets and rock rabbits is that________.
    A. both are affected by 1ess snow
    B. both are affected by rising sea levels
    C neither can find enough food
    D. neither can migrate to higher places
    5 Which best describes the writer's tone in the postage?
    A. Approving.
    B. Concerned.
    C. Enthusiastic.
    D. Doubtful.

等考点的理解。关于这些考点您可以点击下面的选项卡查看详细档案。
  • 历史文化类阅读

什么是历史文化类阅读:

本类题型常用的方式是夹叙夹议。叙述的目的是为了议,所以要把握其议才是主要方面。阅读这类文章,先弄清其引入的话题,再弄清里面人物对其不同的看法,然后理解作者本身对话题的观点看法或思考。


历史文化类阅读技巧:

题型说明】历史文化类阅读理解文章属高考常选材料之一。这类文章常涉及历史、文化、法制、宗教等方面的文学艺术、发明创造、文化遗产保护、宗教与文化、风俗与习惯、道德与法制、中外文学名著节选、等等。这类材料的命题点往往落在主旨大意题、事实细节题上。
答题方法】在做这类阅读理解题时,我们应注意以下几个方面:
1、采用先题后文:先读题目,再带着问题读文章。这类阅读理解文章相对来说事实细节题稍多一点,如果带着问题读文章,有利于我们抓细节。
2、先做细节题。因为做完了局部性的事实细节题后,自然会加深我们对文章的理解,这样更有利于做主旨大意题。
3、重点敲定主旨题。主旨大意题提问的形式主要有两大类:一类是Main idea型;一类是Topic或Title型。
在解答这类试题时应注意以下几点:
a.读首句抓大意。
文化教育类阅读理解文章多采用说明文、议论文体裁,而这类文章大都采用文章段落的中心,即主题句在文章开头。因此,要寻找这类文章的主旨大意就需要研究文章的首句。
b.读尾句抓大意。
有时这类文章的主题句安排在文章的结尾,作为对全篇的总结。
c.读首段抓大意。
有些文章或段落的开头和结尾部分都有主题句。这种结构是为了突出主题思想而使用两次点题的写作方法。这两个主题句在句子结构和用词上有所不同,而且在内容上前句和后句也不重复。
d.从段落中抓大意。
有些文章或段落的主题句在文章中,这种文章或段落往往以一句话或几句话引出要表达的主题,在主题句出现后,再举例子陈述细节或继续论证。
e.归纳要点抓大意。
有些文章或段落无明显的主题句,只是暗示性地体现主题。这就要求同学们在阅读过程中根据文中所叙述的事实或线索来概括总结主旨大意。
