Ancient man attempted to change the weather by using magic. When experience taught him this was impossible, he tried to forecast weather conditions. Even earlier than 1000 B. C. there were seers (预言家) in Babylon—and priests clever enough to denounce (抨击) as cheaters who predicted the weather a year in advance.
Some forecasters used methods that seem to have no connection with the actual factors controlling the weather. Chickens and other animals were sacrificed and their intestines (肠) poked to find signs indicating rain or drought.
Somewhat more scientific were predictions based on vegetation, "Onion’s skin very thin, mild winter coming in. Onion’s skin thick and tough, coming winter cold and rough."
Insects and animals were also favorite weather clues, " When the glowworm lights his lamp, then the air is always damp (潮湿的)". "If spiders forsake their cobwebs, the weather will for certain break." "If frogs remained in pools, the weather would be fine. If they were seen on rocks, rain and cold were due. "
The frog could be said to indicate______.
选项
A、fine weather
B、cold weather
C、rain
D、all of the above
答案
D
解析
事实细节题。由第四段最后两句“If frogs remained in pools,the weather would be fine.If they were seen on rocks,rain and cold were due.”可知,青蛙的不同反应可以预示三种天气类型,即晴天、雨天、寒冷天气。故正确答案为D。
