( C )How much rain has fallen on the earth in the pastMan has not always kept weather records Because scientists need a way to learn about past rainfall, they study the tree ringsA trees trunk (树干) keeps growing year by year. Under its bark(树皮) , a tree adds a layer（分层） of new wood each year it livesIf you look at a tree stump (树根）, you can see the layers. They are called annual rings (年轮) On some trees, all of the rings are of the same width. But the ponderosa (美国黄松) that grow in the Arican southwest have rings in different width. The soil in the southwest is dryThe pines depend on rainfall for waterIn a year of good rainfall, they form wide ringsIn a dry year they form narrow ones Scientists do not have to cut down a pine to study its ringsWith a special tool, they remove a narrow piece of wood from the trunk without harming the treeThen they look at the width of each ring to see how much rain fell in the year it formed Some pines are hundreds of years old and have hundreds of ringsThese rings form an annual record of past rainfall in the southwest66.We could infer from the passage that Aa tree grows faster when it has a lot of water Bscientists cut down trees to study tree rings Cpine trees form rings of the same width every year Dthe ponderosa grows in the southeast67.A tree grows a new layer of wood Aeach week Bwhenever it rains Cevery year Devery season68.On the whole, this passage is about A.why the tree trunks grow bigger Bwhy scientists study tree rings Ctrees that lived hundreds of years ago Dthe ponderosa in the US69.
