That is, you can decide to pay what you want to or can afford”可知PWYD中你可以決定付款,而四項(xiàng)活動(dòng)中只有Introduction to Waves有PWYD,故選B。 (3)考查主旨大意。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和主旨大意兩個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇介紹類閱讀,考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。 Every year migratory(遷徙的) bats travel from Mexico to Bracken Cave, where they spend the summer consuming insects that would otherwise hungrily eat mon food crops. But the bats have been showing up far earlier than they did two decades ago. annual rhythms, Rothamsted biologist Phillip Stepanian says.Keefe, a biology professor at Indiana State University and coauthor of that study, says early arrival at their summer habitats(棲息地) could expose these bats to cold snaps(寒流), and they could freeze to death.Keefe and her colleagues also found that changing bat migration times can also clash with rainfall patterns. Many insects that bats eat breed in seasonal lakes and puddles. If the bats arrive too early to benefit from summer rainfall and the resulting abundance of insects they may struggle to feed their pups(幼崽) or skip reproduction altogether, O39。 However, scientists are not certain that climate change alone is causing the Bracken Cave bat colony to migrate earlier. They have found a direct link between seasonal temperatures and bird migration, but bats are also influenced by factors such as changes in wind speed and direction. And there are other plications. “Bats are mysterious little animals that move mostly at night and are difficult to observe and track, Stepanian says. We have this conceptual picture of what might be happening, but really tying it to the cause is the next step.(1)Scientists at Rothamsted Research found that _________. A.bats delay their reproductionC.bats are used to living in rainfall seasonsB. reproduction helps to spread diseaseD.Climate change makes bats migrate earlier.Further research on the cause is necessary.(4)What is the best title for the passage? A.Endangered batsD. annual rhythms, Rothamsted biologist Phillip Stepanian says.”羅斯泰德的生物學(xué)家菲利普根據(jù)第四段中的“‘If the bats arrive too early to benefit from summer rainfall and the resulting abundance of insects, they may struggle to feed their pups(幼崽) or skip reproduction altogether, O39。由此可知,喬伊根據(jù)最后一段中的“However, scientists are not certain that climate change alone is causing the Bracken Cave bat colony to migrate earlier.”然而,科學(xué)家們還不能確定僅僅是氣候變化就導(dǎo)致了蕨類洞穴蝙蝠群落更早的遷徙;及“Bats are mysterious little animals that move mostly at night and are difficult to observe and track,” Stepanian says. “We have this conceptual picture of what might be happening, but really tying it to the cause is the next step.”斯捷潘尼安說(shuō):“蝙蝠是神秘的小動(dòng)物,大多在夜間活動(dòng),很難觀察和追蹤。故選D。由此可知選C。 Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it.
