What can trees tell us about climate change Quite a lot, actually! But to understand what the trees tell us, we first have to understand the difference between weather and climate.
Weather is a specific (具体的) event—like a rainstorm or hot day—that happens over a short period of time. Weather can be tracked (追踪) within hours or days. Climate is the weather conditions in a place over a long time (30 years or more).
Scientists at the National Weather Service have been keeping track of weather in the United States since 1891. But trees can keep a much longer record of Earth's climate. In fact, trees can live for hundreds, and sometimes even thousands of years.
One way that scientists use trees to learn about climate is by studying a tree's rings. If you've ever seen a tree stump (树桩), you probably noticed that the top of the stump had some rings.
These rings can tell us how old the tree is, and what the weather was like during each year of the tree's life. The light-colored rings represent (代表) wood that grew in the spring and early summer, while the dark rings represent wood that grew in the late summer and fall. One light ring and one dark ring represents one year of the tree's life.
Because trees are sensitive to local climate conditions, such as rain and temperature, they give scientists some information about that area's local climate in the past. For example, tree rings usually grow wider in warm, wet weather and they are thinner when it is cold and dry. If the tree has experienced difficult conditions, such as a drought (干旱), the tree might hardly grow at all in those years.

11.A　细节理解题。根据“What can trees tell us about climate change.”可知,作者是通过提问引入主题的。
12.C　细节理解题。根据“while the dark rings represent wood that grew in the late summer and fall”可知,深色的年轮代表了夏末和秋天生长的树木。
13.B　词义猜测题。根据“Because trees are sensitive to local climate conditions, such as rain and temperature”及“For example, tree rings usually grow wider in warm, wet weather and they are thinner when it is cold and dry.”可知,正因为树木对周围环境敏感,所以才能给人们了解气候变化提供信息。
