六、同学们想知道动物是如何预测天气的吗？阅读材料·选择正确的答案。
Most studies show that many animals can feel the weather changes. Here are some interesting things about animals.
| Animals | Behaviour(行为) | Weather changes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| | A lot of birds get together and stay under the roofs(屋顶) of houses. | Heavy rain will come. |
| | Sharks swim to deeper (更深的) water. | A big storm will arrive. |
| | There are more spiders in autumn and the spiders make larger webs. | A cold and dry winter will come. |
| | There are fewer spiders and they make small webs. | A warm and wet winter will come. |
| | A lot of ants are in the grass. | It's going to rain. |
Sometimes you can not explain why they can tell the weather before the weather report. If you want to know more about them, you can read more articles in School Science Magazine.

1. 通读全文的表格内容，文中提到的动物有鸟类、鲨鱼、蜘蛛、蚂蚁，没有提到兔子，因此选D。
2. 根据表格第二行的内容，大风暴来临对应的鲨鱼行为是游向更深的水域，因此选A。
3. 根据表格第三行内容，蜘蛛在秋天织更大的网对应的天气变化是寒冷干燥的冬天即将到来，因此选C。
4. 逐一排除错误选项：A选项文中开头说明很多动物能感知天气变化，不是几乎没有动物可以，表述错误；C选项文中提到蜘蛛数量多、织大网的现象出现在秋天，不是冬天，表述错误；D选项原文仅说明有时候无法解释动物比天气预报更早预知天气的原因，并非完全无法解释动物的所有行为，表述错误；B选项文中提到大量鸟类聚集待在屋顶下预示大雨将至，大量蚂蚁出现在草地上预示要下雨，符合文意，因此选B。
