30、g about the history of weather? Don“t look at the sky. Don“t look for the old weather report. Looking at tree rings is more important. Correct weather reports date back to only one century, but some trees can provide an exact record of the weather even further back. It“s natural that a tree would gr
31、ow best in a climate with plenty of sunlight and rainfall. It is also expected that little sunlight or rainfall would limit the growth of a tree. The change from a favorable to an unfavorable climate can be determined by reading the pattern of rings in a tree trunk. To find out the weather of ten ye
32、ars ago, count the rings of a tree trunk from the outside to the inside. If the tenth ring is far from the other rings, then it is certain that plenty of sunny and rainy weather occurred. If the rings are close together, then the climate was bad for the tree. Studying tree tings is not only importan

45、30.00）_正确答案：()解析：It has been several months since the United States encountered the warm climate, especially in March. It broke the national record and the degree is still increasing. The scientist and meteorologists has warned that the global warming is inevitable and that this warm climate is abno
46、rmal. People feel not good in this uncommon weather. While enjoying the warm spring, people are afraid of the adverse effect which may be caused by this weird weather. Meteorologists say that although global warming is inescapable, this warm climate is not necessary. They think that human activities
47、 may accelerate the process of global warming. Fossil fuels such as coal and oil are the main causes of this climate. In my opinion, as the global warming is becoming more and more serious, the government should take compulsory measures to decrease the air pollution. Public transportation should be promoted while private cars should be restrained. What“s more, heavy industry factories should be under more strict supervision than ever before. And people should be aware that they should lead an environment-friendly life.
