Why would anyone want to set aside a day to honor a lowly little groundhog? The answer to that question is not certain, but a group of people get together every February 2 in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, to watch Punxsutawney "Pete" leave his burrow. What "Pete" does next, many believe, will indicate whether spring is just around the comer or a long way off, You see, in Pennsylvania on this date there is usually a great deal of snow on the ground, and the little animal has been hibernating during the long, cold winter. He gorged himself during the autumn months and then went into his burrow for a long sleep, his body fat helping keep him alive. But as he emerges on February 2, he looks very thin. If the sun is shining brightly and he sees his shadow, according to legend, it scares him back into his home where he will stay another six weeks. Should it be cloudy and gray, the little animal will supposedly wander While many believe in the groundhog’s predictions, it is unwise to accept them as factual.
What prediction does the groundhog supposedly make?
选项
A、If he sees his shadow, it will soon be spring.
B、If he sees his shadow, spring will arrive in six weeks.
C、If he does not see his shadow, spring will arrive in six weeks.
D、If he does not see his shadow, all the snow will disappear immediately.
答案
B
解析
理解题。从倒数第二三句话得出:根据传说,如果阳光明媚,它看到自己的影子,它就会吓回自己的窝里再待上六个星期。如果天气阴沉,它就会出来游荡。
