Most people know at least some of the old ways of predicting weather. Most of these older ways depended on careful observation of the behavior of animals and insects and of the appearance of clouds, the sun. the moon and growing plants. But we are mostly city-living people and have forgotten the origin of many of these ways of foretelling weather. We should not laugh at these examples of weather wisdom, however. Since they are based on what people have seen year after year they are often quite accurate.
Animals are commonly thought to be more sensitive to changes in the weather than we human beings. Our senses have become dull: we are not so close to nature and our lives do not depend so much on warnings given by the senses as animals do.
Every country has its own particular weather wisdom connected with animals. In northern countries, where winters are hard, the behavior of animals which hibernate or migrate is taken to indicate what sort of winter is coming. The squirrels may be seen gathering their food supply of nuts earlier than usual; the dormouse may dig more deeply than usual, the migrating birds may gather for their flight south earlier than usual. All these signs would be seen by the countryman as predictions of an especially severe winter to come. According to so many examples we could see animals are so sensitive, and their senses are more accurate than our human beings. If we’ll find the extraordinary of their behaviors, so pay attention to it.
选项
A、Because human beings are close to nature.
B、Because human beings depend on weather forecasting warnings.
C、Because senses of ours are not useful as that of animals.
D、Because human beings don’t depend on the senses.
答案
D
解析
Why are human beings not as sensitive to the changes of weather as animals?
四个选项都是“Because”来开头的,因此推测本题考查的是关于原因方面的。
本题关键词为“sensitive(敏感的)”。文中指出动物对于外界的刺激比人类要敏感的多,人类的感官都已经钝化了(we are not so close to nature and our lives do not depend so much on warnings given by the senses as animals do...)。因此正确答案选D)。
