You can tell the age of a tree by counting its rings. But these records of 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 ten thousand 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 up the elements in the rings from the given year, scientists can tell what elements were in the air that year. Dr. Stevenson is analyzing one element—carbon-14 in rings from both living and dead trees. Some of the rings go back almost ten thousand 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 and other times it is relatively calm. During the sun’ s violent periods, it throws off charged particles in fast moving strings 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 the solar wind activity must follow the same cycle.
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.
16. What is the purpose of the scientists in studying tree rings?
17. What affects the amount of carbon-14 on earth?
18. What do we learn from the passage about the solar wind activity?
选项
A、The life cycle of trees.
B、The number of trees.
C、The intensity of solar burning.
D、The quality of air.
答案
C
解析
细节辨认题。短文中指出he found carbon-14 levels change with the intensity of solar burning,故地球上碳14的含量受太阳燃烧强度的影响。所以选C。
