36、the U. S. West Coast. They all kind of look the same and they have a cute little yellow head and a gray body. Typically, birds sing the same one song within one region because the song attracts mates. And different regions can have slightly different dialects of the song. But recently biologists not
37、iced that there are some places that are exceptions to this rule-in some places, there is more than one song in the same place.So we were curious why that would be the case. Brett Furnas, a bio-statistician at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife said.To investigate, Furnas and his team re
38、corded lots of hermit warblers songs. In 10 years, they went to 100 different locations throughout the state and all the different potential habitats of the species. The researchers analyzed all the hermit warbler songs they collected and discovered that the hermit warbler doesnt just break the usua
39、l one-song-per-region rule-they positively demolish it, for the researchers found, actually, an amazing 35 different dialects across the state.But why would the bird repeatedly alter its song when any changes could affect its ability to attract a mate? Basically, hermit warblers are very sensitive t

And then other hermit warblers singing different dialects move into this area. And then they end up, maybe a few years later, with two or more different diale
41、cts in the same place.Furnas says that such musical diversity might actually work in the hermit warblers favor. They may have greater resiliency (恢复力) to things like climate change. So understanding that helps us to make better conservation decisions to protect biodiversity. But its also what makes

What is the purpose of Furnas research on hermit warbler?A. To figure out how the bird breeds. B. To study the one-song-per-re
43、gion rule.C. To find why its songs differ within one region. D. To investigate different habitats of the bird.33. What does demolish in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. To show the rule is wrong. B. To prove the rule to be true.C. To explain what the rule means. D. To make the rule difficult to understa
