Children play baseball in sports fields or parks.At summer picnic, there is often an informal（非正式的） baseball game. Boys and girls, young and old take turns to play. There are nine players on each team.The baseball season goes from April to September. During this time, baseball matches are showed on TV and members of the important baseball teams become Americas heroes（英雄）. At the end of the season, the two top teams play against each other. Many baseball fans go along to watch the game. Millions of others listen to the radio or watch television. People seem to talk only about the game. Even long after it is over, they still talk about the result and the players.American football is perhaps the most popular sport in the U.S.A. The football season begins when the baseball season ends. More people are interested in football than baseball. When there is an important game, thousands of people sit beside radios or in front of television sets to get the result.36 . There areplayers on each baseball team.AsevenBelevenCfourDnine37 .

We interviewed a biologist and asked her what research on dolphin communication has shown. This is what she told us.Just like dogs, cats and other mammals, dolphins communicate by using sound, vision (视觉), touch and taste. Each dolphin has its own signature whistle to identify itself and to call others. Dolphins dont have the ability to smell, but their hearing and eyesight are excellent.We also asked Jane if dolphins have got their own language. She told us that they have and that dolphins started talking to each other from birth. They make different sounds, including whistles, squeaks and click. Sometimes they even sound like a heavy metal band!We then asked Jane if any interesting experiments have been done. She told us that a very interesting experiment had been done with a mother dolphin and her two-year-old baby in an aquarium. They talked to each other over the telephone! The two dolphins were in separate tanks which were connected by a special under water system. Unfortunately the biologists couldnt understand what the dolphins were talking about because they havent been able to decode (转换) dolphin language yet. However, it was very clear that the dolphins knew what they were talking about.Finally we asked Jane if there was hope that we would be able to understand dolphins in the near future. She told us that she and her team have been listening to dolphins for more than 17 years, using special equipment to record and analyze their language. Unfortunately they havent been able to decode it yet, but who knows maybe one day well get a phone call from a dolphin.41 .

The point is because of weather change, and some researchers found that rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at least five kinds of rabbits in the US.Take the Lower Keys Marsh rabbit as an example. It lives on the islands, but it is seriously affected（影响）now by rising sea levels. According to the Center for Biological Diversity, an ocean level rise of 0.9-meter would destroy their living place completely.The snowshoe hare, on the other hand, has a color problem. Most of these rabbits change their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer, which gives them better cover from predators (捕食者) . As the number of days with snow becoming less, more and more rabbits are being left in white fur during the days of both fall and spring, making them an easier mark for predators. American pikas or rock rabbits might be the first of these species to go die out because of the weather change. Pikas live high in the cool, damp mountains. As global temperatures rise, they would naturally move to higher ground but they already live on the mountaintops. They cant go any higher. The National Wildlife Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their living place heats up.The volcano rabbit has the same problem. Recent studies have shown that their lower living place has already moved upward about 700 meters, but there are not right plants for them to move higher, so they have to stay in the middle.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 living places have been destroyed by development. They also live on winter cover, but lesser snowfall is leaving them unprotected.All of these give new meaning to dressing up in a huge rabbit costume（服装）this Easter.46 . Why does the writer mention Easter at the beginning of the passage?ATo raise the problem about rabbits.BTo remind people of Easter traditions.CTo show the importance of Easter Day.DTo discuss the relationship between Easter and rabbits.47 . Why can some rabbits be easily discovered by predators now?ABecause they have moved to the places with fewer plants.BBecause they can hardly live on color cover as before.CBecause they cant change their color into white.DBecause they are left to more skillful hunters.48 . What is the problem faced by rock rabbits and volcano rabbits?AThey are both affected by less snow.BNeither of them can find enough food.CNeither of them can move to higher place.DThey are both affected by rising sea levels.49 . What can you infer from the passage?APredators are more skillful than before.BThe weather is getting much hotter now.CThere will be no rabbit costume for Easter soon.DPeople should care more about the rabbit problem.六、短文改错短文改错下面短文中的划线部分可能是错误的, 如果是错误的请改正, 如果是正确的请打, 并将答案写在右边相应题号后的横线上并不得改变原句意思。The Internet are changing the world,50 .
