However, you can also find many weather signs among wildlife, because of their highly developed senses. Drops in air pressure produce an effect on small animals in many ways. Mice and deer are good weather indicators. People who spend a lot of time outdoors have observed that, before a storm, field mice come out of their holes and run around. Deer leave high ground and come down from the mountains.Birds are especially good weather indicators because they also show the effect of a pressure drop in many ways. For example, some birds become irritable(暴躁) and quarrelsome and will fight over a piece of bread. Other birds chirp and sing just before a storm. It seems they know they wont get another chance for an hour or two. Birds also look for safe places before a storm. You will sometimes see birds settling in trees or gathering together on a wire close to a building. Pre-storm low pressure make the air so thin that birds have difficulty flying.It is unusual to see many birds flying overhead in the summertime, rather than during the periods in the spring or autumn. Watch for other weather signs if you see this. If they fly in the wrong direction, they may be flying ahead of a storm.By paying closer attention to some important signs in nature, we can become better prepared for any kind of weather.（1）The word “indicators” in paragraph 1 probably means .A . mapsB . servicesC . signsD . stations（2）How can birds sense the coming of a storm?A . By feeling a drop in air temperature.B . By noticing the change of wind directions.C . By feeling a drop in air pressure.D . By noticing the movements of other animals.（3）The best title for the text would be.A . Signs of a StormB . Drops in Air PressureC . Animals Sharp SensesD . Natures Weather Signs四、 根据句意，用括号中所给词的正确形式填空，每空一词。 (共5题；共10分)15. （1分）I really dont know what _(wear) at the party. 16. （1分）用括号内所给动词的适当形式填空。After a days hard work, Mrs. Whites biggest dream is _ (lie) on the sofa instead of looking after her 15-month-old son.17. （5分）根据提示完成短文。Last summer, I went on a trip to Italy.It is in the south of E_There are many places of i_there.I traveled to Milan.It is one of the most i_cities in Italy.Its famous for its buildings.The weather there was always sunny.The food_(taste) delicious.I had fun there and it was a special e_for me.18. （1分）Mrs White looks much_（weak）than she was yesterday19. （2分）Lesson 5 is _ (easy)than Lesson 6, but its not so _ (interesting) as Lesson 6. 五、 根据句意及汉语提示，写出各单词的正确形式，每空一词。 (共5题；共19分)20. （5分）（2017泰安）根据句意和首字母或汉语提示，将单词的正确形式完整地写在相应的位置上。 （1）The last bus has already gone.
