t we do there largely determines our standard of living and our status to a considerable extent. It is sometimes said that because leisure has bee more important, the injustices of work can be pushed into a corner, and that because most work is pretty intolerable, the people who do it should pensate for its boredom, frustrations and humiliations by concentrating their hopes on the other parts of their lives. For the foreseeable future, however, the material and psychological rewards which work can provide will continue to play a vital part in determining the satisfaction that life can offer. only for a small minority does work offer scope for creativity, imagination or initiative. The most glaring inequality is that between managers and the rest. For most managers, work is an opportunity and a challenge. Their jobs engage their interest and allow them to develop their abilities. They are constantly learning. They are able to exercise responsibility. They have a considerable degree of control over their own and others39。s opinion, people judge others mainly by ________.

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。 A separate study of migratory bats in Indiana, published last year, found that temperature variations affected arrival and departure times—likewise hinting at the potential influence of climate change.

She fears this shift could cause Midwestern bats to decrease toward extinction, which would be bad news for humans. “Declines in bat populations could have severe effects for crop success,’ she says”奧基夫說,如果蝙蝠來得太早,無法從夏季降雨和由此產(chǎn)生的大量昆蟲中獲益,它們可能難以喂養(yǎng)幼崽,或者完全跳過繁殖?!膀饠?shù)量的減少可能對(duì)作物的成功產(chǎn)生嚴(yán)重影響,”她說,可知,蝙蝠過早地遷徙會(huì)因?yàn)槿鄙偈澄铮瑢?dǎo)致喂養(yǎng)幼仔的困難,或者跳過繁殖期,這將導(dǎo)致蝙蝠數(shù)量減少,害蟲增加,從而對(duì)農(nóng)作物產(chǎn)生影響。奧基夫發(fā)現(xiàn),蝙蝠過早的遷徙可能會(huì)危害農(nóng)業(yè)。 (3)考查推理判斷?!?。”可推知,對(duì)蝙蝠遷徙提前的原因還需要進(jìn)一步的研究。 (4)考查主旨大意。由此可知,本文主要圍繞蝙蝠的遷徙時(shí)間變化展開介紹分析。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解,推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇科研類閱讀,要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上,進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進(jìn)行分析,推理,概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。 For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner.
