Do trees have memories This may seem strange, but trees can actually tell us things about the past. When a tree is cut down, you can see rings (树轮) inside. These are the memories of trees. They can tell lots of secrets from the forest.
Every year the tree grows, there is a new ring. Scientists can count the rings to tell the age of the tree. They study tree rings to learn about the climate and the environment. Tree rings are a record of the climate. Some rings are quite wide. This is a good sign because it means the tree grew well and was healthy. This happens when the tree gets enough sun and rain. When it doesn’t rain enough, the tree grows less, and the rings are narrow. Thanks to this, scientists can look at how the rings change to learn about climate change in one place.
Scientists also look at tree rings to study natural disasters. For example, sometimes there is a black area on a tree ring. This usually means there was a forest fire. If scientists count the rings from the black area, they can answer difficult questions, such as “When did the fire happen ” and “How common are forest fires ”.
Tree rings can also help us understand human history. For example, using tree rings, scientists can tell the age of old buildings. Nowadays, they can even look at the chemistry of each tree ring to know exactly when the tree was cut down. With this new method, a team of scientists discovered that a Viking village in Canada was built in the year 1021.
It’s amazing that trees can tell us so much, even though they cannot talk!

8. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3
A．What a black area means.

9. How did the scientists find out when the Viking village was built
A．By counting the number of rings. B．By looking at the color of the rings.
C．By reading books about the village. D．By studying the chemistry of each tree ring.

A．How to Protect Old Trees B．The Secrets of Tree Rings
C．How Trees Grow Year by Year D．Forest Fires and Tree Rings

六、书面表达范文
The power of teamwork
Last month, our class held a group volleyball match. At first, we played separately and lost the first round. Then we realized teamwork mattered most. We discussed our weak points and practised passing together every break. Everyone supported each other when someone made mistakes. Finally, we won the game.
This experience teaches me that no one can succeed alone. Teamwork lets us make up for each other’s shortcomings and achieve goals we can’t finish by ourselves. The power of teamwork pushes us forward.
