（2024·广西·中考真题）Have you ever imagined what bees can do with their tiny brains Now scientists are looking into a bee’s brain.
Clint Perry, a scientist, has spent much time studying how bees think. He says studying bees is not very different from studying other animals. “The main difficulty is to design (设计) an experiment (实验) bee and get what we want,” he says. “With humans, we can ask them a question and get an answer. But we can’t use the same way to get an answer from bees. They are just trying to get sugar. Bees like sugar.”
The fact that bees like sugar is helpful for scientists to design experiments. For example, in one experiment, Perry gave bees a task: to find delicious sugar on a landing place above a black bar (棒). Perry made the task easier or harder by moving the landing place farther from or closer to the black bar. He found that bees would avoid the task when it was difficult. And when the task was easy, bees would try it.
As for humans, we might choose not to take a test when we weren’t ready for it. And we might choose to take the test when we were well prepared. In the same way, bees seemed to make decisions like humans.
Perry points out that we are not sure whether bees actually make a thoughtful choice from experiments. Now scientists still do not know how bees manage to do so much with their tiny brains. But learning more about how bees’ brains work could help us learn more about how our own brains deal with information.

（2024·广西贺州·三模）
What can trees tell us about climate (气候) change Quite a lot, actually! But to understand what the trees tell us, we first have to understand the difference between weather and climate.
Weather is a specific (具体的) event — like a rain storm or hot day — that happens over a short period of time. Weather can be tracked (追踪) within hours or days. Climate is the weather conditions in a place over a long period of time (30 years or more).
Scientists at the National Weather Service have been keeping track of weather in the United States since 1891. But trees can keep a much longer record of Earth’s climate. In fact, trees can live for hundreds — and sometimes even thousands — of years!
One way that scientists use trees to learn about past climate is by studying a tree’s rings. If you’ve ever seen a tree stump (树桩), you probably noticed that the top of the stump had some rings.
These rings can tell us how old the tree is, and what the weather was like during each year of the tree’s life. The light-colored rings represent (代表) wood that grew in the spring and early summer, while the dark rings represent wood that grew in the late summer and fall. One light ring and one dark ring represents one year of the tree’s life.
Because trees are easily influenced by local climate conditions, such as rain and temperature, they give scientists some information about that area’s local climate in the past. For example, tree rings usually grow wider in warm, wet years and they are thinner in years when it is cold and dry. If the tree has experienced difficult conditions, such as a drought (干旱), the tree might hardly grow at all in those years.
根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。

A．Telling stories about the weather.
B．Telling stories about the climate.
C．Compare the weather and the climate.
32．When would dark rings would appear

33．Which picture shows the rings in dry seasons
A． B． C．
34．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE
A．Climate is a specific event.
B．These tree rings can tell us how much the tree is.
C．Trees are easily influenced by local climate conditions.
35．What is the text mainly about
A．The life of a tree.
B．Trees and climate change.
C．The need to plant trees.
（2024·广西贺州·三模）China’s 15-year-old Chen Ye won gold in the men’s park final of skateboarding (滑板男子碗池决赛) at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou on Sept 25.
Chen started getting into this sport in 2016. “I remember one day I went to a sports store, and by chance, I saw a skateboard. I decided to give it a try,” Chen told China Youth Daily. Although it was really challenging to stay on the board at first, Chen found it very interesting. “Every time I did some difficult skills, I felt the happiness of making breakthroughs (突破),” said Chen.
Gradually, Chen needed a better skatepark for training. To meet the need, his father decided to make a skate bowl himself. “He would work on it late into the night, sometimes until three or four in the morning,” said Chen. “I’m really thankful for my father’s support.”
As a junior high school student, Chen needed to find a balance between his schoolwork and skateboarding. His only privilege was being free from P.E. classes, during which he would do schoolwork because he needed to practice in his own skate bowl for hours after returning home.
He trained in the morning, studied in the afternoon and sometimes had to extra (额外的) classes with the teachers’ help. While getting ready for the competition this year, Chen even disagreed with his father over his study schedule. He wanted to train for more hours at night to avoid interfering (干扰) with daytime classes.
Looking at the seven years of learning skating, Chen said this experience made him stronger and more confident to do something he truly loves.
