請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題： A wet spring in Las Vegas has spawned hordes of grasshoppers so large that they are showing up on the weather radar.
In viewing the radar, CNN meteorologist Allison Chinchar said it looked like there were two storms over the Vegas area:
one in the north of the city (that was actual rain) and another right over Las Vegas. But the second one wasn’t moving as
rain normally would, she said. “It looked as though it should be torrentially downpouring in Las Vegas,” said Chinchar.
By changing the settings on the radar, meteorologists could see that the other “storm” was actually the massive hordes
of grasshoppers that have settled over the city in recent days, Chinchar said. Las Vegas, like all of Nevada, has had almost
twice as much rain in 2019 than normal, Chinchar said. “It appears through history that when we have a wet winter or
spring, these things build up often down below Laughlin and even into Arizona,” Jeff Knight, state entomologist, said.
“We’ll have grasshopper migrations about this time of the year, and they’ll move northward.” Knight said the swarms
aren’t terribly unusual given the amount of rain the state has had this year. “We have records clear from the ’60s of it
happening, and I have seen it ... at least four or five times in my 30-plus years,” he said. “There are some special weather
conditions that trigger the migration.” 【題組】46 Which of the following is the topic of this passage?
(A)Las Vegas’ grasshopper invasion is so big that you can see it on weather radar.
(B)Grasshoppers lead to more rain in Las Vegas.
(C)Las Vegas’ grasshoppers have started their migration earlier than usual.
(D)Las Vegas’ deserts are soon disappearing due to vast amounts of rain.
【題組】47 What could have possibly caused the oversized grasshoppers?
(A)Meteor showers. (B)Exposure to radar system.
(C)Unusual amount of rain. (D)Change of sunlight.
【題組】49 According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about grasshoppers?
(A)They can be easily seen on the radar system.
(B)They often migrate to Arizona.
(C)They like torrential downpouring.
(D)The swarms of grasshoppers are a common scene in Arizona.
