阅读下面短文,从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳答案.
If you can find a tree which has been cut down you will see many rings or circles on the base of the trunk (树干基部). By learning to read these rings you can find out the tree's life.
The number of rings tells you how old the tree is. Each year new wood is formed on the outside of the tree. This new wood is light in colour when the tree is growing in spring and summer and dark in winter when the tree is not growing much. So if you count the rings in dark-or-light-coloured wood you can often find out how old the tree is.
You can also tell which years have been good years and which years have been bad years. When the light-coloured rings are very wide it means that the tree has been growing quickly that year. If the light rings are narrow it has been growing slowly. If the rings on a tree trunk were greatly magnified (放大) you would be able to see why the rings are light-coloured when the tree is growing quickly and dark-coloured when the tree is growing slowly. The tree trunk is made up microscopic tubes (毛细管) like long pipes carrying water from the soil through the trunk and up to the leaves. They are wide and thin-walled when the tree is growing quickly and they are carrying a lot of water. They are narrow and stuck together when the tree is not growing so quickly.
When a tree is old the tubes in the centre of the tree don't carry water. The walls of the tubes have become thick with materials which have stuck along them over the years forming a kind of wood called “heartwood”. This kind of wood is darker in colour than the young growing wood on the outside of the tree.
You don't very often see whole tree trucks which have been cut across. But once you learn to read a cross section (横断面)of the wood you can see much more in wood which had been used to make boxes houses and other things.
In most wood instead of seeing the trunk cut across you are seeing it cut along its length. Because you don't see the whole tree you can't tell how old it was.

解析:
(1) 这是一道细节题.从短文第二段中The number of rings tells you how old the tree is.可知,树干上的年轮的年龄告诉我们树木的年龄,答案为A. (2) 这是一道细节题.文中第二段This new wood is light in colour when the tree is growing in spring and summer.可以判断出,颜色浅时,树木长得快,因为春夏季节树木长得快,答案为B. (3) 这是一道细节题. 根据短文第四段When a tree is old,the tubes in the centre of the tree don't carry water. The walls of the tubes have become thick with materials which have stuck along them over the years,forming a kind of wood called “heartwood”. This kind of wood is darker in colour than the young,growing wood on the outside of the tree.可知,当树木老时,就会在树干形成颜色黑暗的heartwood 答案为A. (4) 该题考查细节. 由短文第三段中The tree trunk is made up microscopic tubes,like long pipes,carrying water from the soil,through the trunk,and up to the leaves. They are wide and thin-walled when the tree is growing quickly and they are carrying a lot of water. 可知,树木的横断上年轮宽的树木生长得快.答案为A. (5) 这是一道识图解意题. 根据题干叙述的这个国家每隔两年下大雨 树木生长快,可以确定D图正确.
