36、fficult to predict.American researchers have put together a 700year record of the rainy seasons，which is expected to provide guidance for experts making weather predictions.Every year，moist (潮湿的)air masses，known as monsoon，produce large amounts of rainfall in India，East Asia，Northern Australia and E
37、ast Africa.All this wet air is pulled in by a high pressure area over the Indian Ocean and a low pressure area to the south.According to Edward Cook，a weather expert at Columbia University in New York，the complex nature of the climate systems across Asia makes monsoons hard to predict.In addition，cl
38、imate records for the area are too recent and not detailed enough to be of much use.Therefore，he and a team of researchers spent more than fifteen years traveling across Asia，looking for trees old enough to provide longterm records.They measured the rings，or circles，inside thousands of ancient trees
39、 in more than 300 places.Rainfall has a direct link to the growth and width of rings on some kinds of trees.The researchers developed a document they are calling a Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas.It shows the effect of monsoons over seven centuries，beginning in the 1300s.Professor Cook says the treering
40、records show periods of wet and dry weather.“If the monsoon basically fails or is a very weak one，the trees affected by monsoons at that location might put on a very narrow ring.But if the monsoon is very strong，the trees affected by that monsoon might put on a wide ring for that year.So，the wide an
41、d narrow ring widths of the chronology that we developed in Asia provide us with a measure of monsoon variability.” With all this information，researchers say they can begin to improve computer climate models for predicting the behavior of monsoons.“There has been widespread famine and starvation and
42、 human dying in the past in large droughts.And on the other hand，if the monsoon is particularly heavy，it can cause extensive flooding， ” said Eugene Wahl，a scientist with Americas National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.“So，to get a sense of what the regional moisture patterns have been，dryn
43、ess and wetness over such a long period of time in great detail，I would call it a kind of victory for climate science.”64Whats the passage mainly about?AThe effects of Asian monsoons.BThe necessity of weather forecast.CThe achievements of Edward Cook.DA breakthrough in monsoon prediction.65It is dif
44、ficult for experts to predict Asian monsoons because_.Ait is hard to keep longterm climate recordsBthey are formed under complex climate systemsCthey influence many nationsDthere is heavy rainfall in Asia66What can be inferred from the passage?ALong and detailed climate records can offer useful info
45、rmation for monsoon research.BThe Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas has a monsoon record for about 1,300 years.CThe trees affected by monsoon grow fast if the monsoon is weak.DThe rainfall might be low although the monsoon is strong in monsoonaffected areas.67What do we know about the research according to
46、 Eugene Wahl?AIt is a great achievement in climate science.BIt should include information about human life in the past.CIt has analyzed moisture models worldwide.DIt will help people prevent droughts and floods.DWe bet that on cold wintry days，many of you love to stay in your warm home and，every now
47、 and then，come out into the kitchen for a snack.Unfortunately，plenty of creepycrawly critters(爬行生物) like to do the same thing!Winter is the time when bugs(虫子) invade your house without an invitation.The season can be tough for such creatures.In winter the air is cold，the ground is hard and many tree
