2．Look to many of history's cultural symbols，and there you'll find an ancestor of Frosty，the snowman in the movie Frozen.It appeared on some of the first postcards，starred in some of the earliest silent movies，and was the subject of a couple of the earliest photos，dating all the way back to the 1800s.I discovered even more about one of humanity's earliest forms of life art during several years of research around the world.
For example，snowmen were a phenomenon in the Middle Ages，built with great skill and thought.At a time of limited means of expression，snow was like free art supplies dropped from the sky.It was a popular activity for couples to leisurely walk through town to view the temporary works of chilly art.Some were created by famous artists，including a 19-year-old Michelangelo，who in 1494 was appointed by the ruler of Florence，Italy，to build a snowman in his mansion's courtyard.
The Miracle of 1511 took place during six freezing works called the Winter of Death.The city of Brussels was covered in snowmen -- an impressive scene that told stories on every street corner.Some were political in nature，criticizing the church and government.Some were a reflection of people's imagination.For the people of Brussels，this was a defining moment of defining freedom.
At least until spring arrived，by which time they were dealing with damaging floods.
If you fear the heyday of the snowman has passed，don't worry：I've learned that some explosive snowman history is still being made today.Every year since 1818，the people of Zurich，Switzerland，celebrate the beginning of spring by blowing up a snowman.On the third Monday of April，the holiday Sechselauten is kicked off when a cotton snowman called the Boogg is stuffed with explosive and paraded through town by bakers and other tradesmen who throw bread to the crowds.The parade ends with the Boogg being placed on a 40-foot pile of firewood.After the bells of the Church of St.Peter have rung six times，representing the passing of winter，the pile is lit.
When the snowman explodes，winter is considered officially over -- the quicker it is burnt down，the longer summer is said to be.
（1）According to the passage，why did snowmen become a phenomenon in the Middle Ages？
A．People thought of snow as holy art supplies.
B．People longed to see masterpieces of snow.
C．Building snowmen was a way for people to express themselves.
D．Building snowmen helped people develop their skill and thought.
（2）"The heyday of the snowman" （paragraph 4）means the time when.
A．snowmen were made mainly by artists
B．snowmen enjoyed great popularity
C．snowmen were politically criticized
D．snowmen caused damaging floods
（3）In Zurich，the blowing up of the Boogg symbolizes.
A．the start of the parade
B．the coming of a longer summer
C．the passing of the winter
D．the success of tradesmen
（4）What can be concluded about snowmen from the passage？
A．They were appreciated in history.
B．They have lost their value.
C．They were related to movies.
D．They vary in shape and size.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5 -
3．Easter （復活節(jié)） 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 instjye.aice.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 guys jumping to higher ground and a 0.9-meter rise would wipe out their habitat 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 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 （遷移） 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.
（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．a(chǎn)re 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 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組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5
