In a study, scientists at Rothamsted Research, an agricultural laboratory in England, used radar data from 160 . weather stations to analyze activity in the Texas bat colony from 1995 through 2017. They discovered the creatures were leaving their winter quarters in Mexico earlier and reproducing sooner. They were also astonished to find increasing numbers of bats overwintering(過(guò)冬) at Bracken Cave instead of heading back to their cold weather quarters in Mexico. Overwintering is a sign that warmer temperatures change the bats39。 (1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇生活類(lèi)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)行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。 only for a small minority does work offer scope for creativity, imagination or initiative.根據(jù)第三段中的‘The greening over the last twenty years shows an increase in leaf area on plants and trees which is as large as the area of the entire Amazon rainforest,’ Chi Chen, a Boston University researcher and lead of the study told Nature Sustainability.“過(guò)去20年的綠化表明,植物和樹(shù)木的葉子面積增加了,相當(dāng)于整個(gè)亞馬遜雨林的面積,波士頓大學(xué)研究員、該研究的負(fù)責(zé)人陳馳告訴《自然B.India根據(jù)第一段中的”Scientists at the University of Oxford have developed new artificial intelligence(AI) software to recognize and follow up the faces of chimpanzees(黑猩猩)in the wild. ”可知,新軟件的開(kāi)發(fā)是為了識(shí)別和追蹤野外黑猩猩的面孔。 For species(物種)like chimpanzees which have plex social lives and live for many years, getting photos of their behavior taken from shortterm field research can only tell us so much, says Dan Schofield, researcher and DPhil student at Oxford University39。根據(jù)第一段中的“According to a team of researchers,an animal39。Time perception of animals.(2)What does Kevin Healy39。 Professor Graeme Ruxton of the University of St Andrews in Scotland, who worked jointly on the research project, said in a statement, Having eyes that send updates to the brain at much higher frequencies than our eyes do is of no value if the brain cannot process that information equally quickly. Thus, this work highlights the impressive abilities of even the smallest animal brains. Flies might not be deep thinkers, but they can make good decisions very quickly.2.閱讀理解 可知Lars Eric Lindblad去南極洲的最初目的是為了讓人們知道南極洲大陸的重要性。The development of Antarcticas Lars Eric Lindblad39。B.s first expedition ship, the MS Lindblad Explorer, which was specifically designed to transport tourists to Antarctica.The number of people travelling to Antarctica is increasing.D.

The research showed flies observe motion in a shorter time than our own eyes can achieve, which allows them to avoid being hit.B.D. Scientists at the University of Oxford have developed new artificial intelligence(AI) software to recognize and follow up the faces of chimpanzees(黑猩猩)in the wild.

But the bats have been showing up far earlier than they did two decades ago. 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. reproduction helps to spread diseaseD.Climate change makes bats migrate earlier.Endangered bats由此可知,喬伊ll describe three nowin situations that monly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap.

Most important of all, they have opportunities to initiate. By contrast, for most manual workers, work is a boring, dull, even painful experience. They spend all their working lives in intolerable conditions. The majority have little control over their work. It provides them with no opportunity for personal development. Many jobs are so routine that workers feel themselves to be mere cogs
