You can tell the age of a tree by counting its rings. But these records of a tree’s life really say a lot more. Scientists are using tree rings to learn what’s been happening on the sun’s surface for the last 10,000 years. Each ring represents a year of growth. As a tree grows, it adds a layer to its trunk, taking up chemical elements from the air. By looking at the elements in the rings from a given year, scientists can tell what elements were in the air that year. Doctor Stevenson is analyzing one element: carbon 14 in rings from both living and dead trees. Some of the rings go back almost 10,000 years to the end of the Ice Age. When Stevenson followed the carbon 14 trail back in time, he found carbon 14 levels change with the intensity of solar burning. You see, the sun has cycles. Sometimes it burns fiercely, at other times it’s relatively calm. During the sun’s violent periods it throws off charged particles in fast moving streams called solar winds. The particles interfere with the formation of carbon 14 on Earth. When there’s more solar wind activity, less carbon 14 is produced. Ten thousand years of tree rings show that the carbon 14 level rises and falls about every 420 years. The scientists concluded that solar wind activity must follow the same cycle.
Questions 1 to 3 are based on the passage you have just heard.
1. What’s the purpose of the scientists in studying tree rings?
2. What affects the amount of carbon 14 on Earth?
3. What do we learn from the passage about solar wind activity?

问答题Although the American economy has transformed itself over the years, certain issues have persisted since the early days of the republic. One is the continuing debate over the proper role for government in what is basically a marketplace economy. An economy based on free enterprise is generally characterized by private ownership and initiative, with a relative absence of government involvement. However, government intervention has been found necessary from time to time to ensure that economic opportunities are fair and accessible to the people, to prevent flagrant abuses, to dampen inflation and to stimulate growth.Ever since colonial times, the government has been involved, to some extent, in economic decision-making. The federal government, for example, has made huge investments in infrastructure, and it has provided social welfare programs that the private sector was unable or unwilling to provide. In a myriad of ways and over many decades, the government has supported and promoted the development of agriculture.

问答题Pollution is a problem because man, in an increasingly populated and industrialized world, is upsetting the environment in which he lives. Many scientists maintain that one of man’s greatest errors has been to equate growth with advancement. Now “growth” industries are being looked on with suspicion in case their side effects damage the environment and disrupt the relationship of different forms of life. The growing population makes increasing demands on the world’s fixed supply of air, water and land. This rise in population is accompanied by the desire of more and more people for a better standard of living. Thus still greater demands for electricity, water and goods result in an ever increasing amount of waste material to be disposed of.The problem has been causing increasing concern to living things and their environment. Many believe that man is not solving these problems quickly enough and that his selfish pursuit of possessions takes him past the point of no return before be fully appreciates the damage.
