25、n important and rarely acknowledged one in the elderly.In Britain, Tracey Crouch was appointed to be the first Minister of Loneliness in order to address the issues caused by loneliness. This is the first time that such a position has been created.In Britain, there are around 9 million people who sa

26、y they are lonely frequently. In Germany, a study conducted by Ruhr University Bochum found that 20 percent of people over the age of 85 felt lonely, and 14 percent of those between age 45 and 65 felt socially isolated. In the United States, more than 25 percent of the people live alone, and more th

27、an 50 percent are unmarried.Isolation is generally associated with cardiovascular disease, depression, obesity, and anxiety.

But the bats h

34、ave been showing up far earlier than they did two decades ago.In a study, scientists at Rothamsted Research, an agricultural laboratory in England, used radar data from 160 U.S. weather stations to analyze activity in the Texas bat colony from 1995 through 2017. They discovered the creatures were le

35、aving 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 bats annu

36、al rhythms, Rothamsted biologist Phillip Stepanian says.A separate study of migratory bats in Indiana, published last year, found that temperature variations affected arrival and departure timeslikewise hinting at the potential influence of climate change. Joy OKeefe, a biology professor at Indiana

37、State University and co-author of that study, says early arrival at their summer habitats could expose these bats to cold snaps(寒流), and they could freeze to death. Joy OKeefe and her colleagues also found that changing bat migration times can also clash with rainfall patterns. Many insects that bat

38、s 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, OKeefe says. She fears this shift could cause Midwestern bats to decrease toward e

39、xtinction, which would be bad news for humans. “Declines in bat populations could have severe effects for crop success,” she says, adding that bats also “control significant disease vectors, such as mosquitoes.” However, scientists are not certain that climate change alone is causing the Bracken Cav

40、e 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 complications. “Bats are mysterious little animals that move mostly at night and a

41、re 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.”32. Scientists at Rothamsted Research found that _.A. bats prefer colder weather B. bats delay their reproductionC. warming affects bat

42、migration D. radar can be used to observe bats 33. Joy OKeefe discovered that _.A. bats are used to living in rainfall seasons B. bats earlier migration might harm farming C. insects reproduction helps to spread disease D. insects shortage makes bats reproduce earlier 34. What does the last paragrap

43、h want to tell us?A. Wind speed and direction affect bats. B. It is difficult to observe and track bats. C. Climate change makes bats migrate earlier. D. Further research on the cause is necessary.35. What is the best title for the passage?A. Bats habitats B. Endangered bats C. Bats schedule D. Bats
