六、任务型阅读。（2025·江苏无锡·调研）
阅读短文，回答下列问题。
Can a cricket(蟋蟀) really tell you the temperature outside? Do fish know if it's going to be a cold winter? Some of the sayings, like "If a cat sits with its back to the fire, hard weather can be predicted", may sound unbelievable, but some may be true. Many animals have stronger senses than humans.
Birds fly low when there is a drop in air pressure(气压) before a storm. Insects stay close to the ground and wolves howl because their ears can sense the pressure change. A good rule is, when animals act strangely, we had better be careful with the environment around us.
Do you know the chirping(鸣叫) of crickets can tell you how hot the day is? Crickets are cold-blooded, so when the temperature in the air changes, the cricket's body temperature changes with it. As the temperature rises, the cricket's metabolism(新陈代谢) increases. So, when the heat rises, crickets chirp.
Do you know other animals that can predict the weather?
1. Why can some animals know the weather changes?
2. What do birds do before the storm?
3. When should we be careful with the environment?
4. What can the chirping of crickets tell us?
5. What do you think of the crickets in our life?

解析
【分析】
本题为任务型阅读，解题思路是先通读全文理解主旨，再根据每个问题的关键词回到原文定位对应信息，提取关键语句作答；开放型问题结合短文内容合理表达即可。具体步骤：1. 针对问题1，定位原文中动物感官的描述找原因；2. 针对问题2，定位鸟类在暴风雨前的行为语句；3. 针对问题3，定位需小心环境的条件；4. 针对问题4，定位蟋蟀鸣叫与温度的关联；5. 针对问题5，结合短文对蟋蟀的介绍合理作答。
【解析】
1. 定位原文第一段最后一句“Many animals have stronger senses than humans.”，提取动物知道天气变化的原因；
2. 定位原文第二段第一句“Birds fly low when there is a drop in air pressure before a storm.”，提取鸟类暴风雨前的行为；
3. 定位原文第二段最后一句“A good rule is, when animals act strangely, we had better be careful with the environment around us.”，提取需小心环境的时间条件；
4. 定位原文第三段关于蟋蟀鸣叫与温度的描述，提取对应信息；
5. 开放题结合短文提到蟋蟀可测温度，给出合理表述。
【答案】
1. Because they have stronger senses.
2. They fly low.
3. When animals act strangely.
4. The temperature rises.
5. They are useful.（答案不唯一）
