任務型閱讀(5小題,共10分) (2014 •北京海淀區(qū)九年級上學期期中)
When we want to find out what the weather will be like tomorrow,we usually turn on the TV. But people also needed to forecast (predict) the weather before they had TVs. How did they do it in the past? They would find an outdoor space,look up,look around,and listen.
Look up
Red sky at night,sailors’ delight!
Red sky in the morning,sailors take warning!
This weather poem was written a long time ago,but it still works today. Weather in many parts of the world moves from west to east. Whatever weather is in the west tonight will probably be with us tomorrow. So a red sky at night,as the sun is setting,usually means a sunny day for the next day.
Look around
Animals,insects,and plants are natural weather forecasters.
When a summer storm is coming,you may notice that dogs,cows and horses grow restless. These animals don't have some mysterious sixth sense,but they do have super-sensitive hearing. Scientists think the animals can forecast thunderstorms (雷暴雨) because they can hear the sound waves (聲波) made by thunderstorms many miles away.
When leaves show their undersides,be very certain,rain happens.
Listen
If you hear a cricket,it can tell you the exact temperature. Just count its chirps (啁啾聲) for fourteen seconds and then add forty. This will give you the Fahrenheit temperature of the cricket within a very few degrees. Since crickets are cold-blooded,the temperature of the cricket is about the same as the air around it.
So learn to predict the weather the way people did in the past. Get outside,look up,look around,and listen. Soon you’ll be your very own weather forecaster.

(2015 •河南)
There is little doubt that house cats first developed naturally from ancient wild cats. The closest relative is the African wild cat which still lives in Africa today. This is understandable because the first house cats came from Africa. .
Cats first started to live around people in Egypt about 6,000—7,000 years ago. From Egypt,cats started to move around the world. This is about the same time that Egyptians began storing grain (谷物) in buildings. Scientists used to believe that people tamed cats to catch mice and protect the grain. However,cats don't like to be told what to do!Now,scientists believe that cats followed the mice and learned to accept people. Finally,some of the cats began to grow comfortable around people. These were smaller cats that needed protection. As these cats and people got used to each other,then they moved in together. Around 5,000 years ago,cats started to live with people.
Soon cats were in Greece,then the Middle East and China. They moved along Egyptian business roads keeping away mice and keeping people around them. After the Romans came to Egypt,they also accepted the cats and brought them to Europe. These cats likely bred (繁殖) with other cats to form the many kinds of house cats we have today.
Cats are relatively recent house animals. House cats still have a lot in common with their wild relatives. Cats sleep a lot to save energy just like wild cats. They will often get food at night as well. House cats are generally peaceful and friendly,but be careful!If a cat feels it is in danger,it will fight back—just like a wild cat!
