Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

Most of the sandstorms that had swept China last year originated from foreign land, a Chinese official in charge of desertification control said on Monday. And the invasions (入侵) could partly explain the frequent sandstorms in the country in recent years despite its achievements in desertification control.

Since the start of last spring, the north and northwestern Chinese regions had been hit by 17 sandstorms, of which, a dozen came from foreign land.

Situated in the central­Asia sandstorm region, one of the world's four largest sandstorm sources, China also suffers from sandstorms from outside the country while being blamed as a sand source to northeast Asia. The other three major sources are in Africa, North America and Australia.

The land suffering from desertification has been  decreasing  by 7,585 km2 annually in China, and the area of sandy land has also been falling by 1,284 km2 a year.

The shrinkage (收缩) forms a clear contrast to the fact that the land suffering from desertification and sandy feature was added by 10,400 km2 and 3,436 km2 late last century, respectively.

Currently, the desertification land in China makes up 2.64 million km2, accounting for 27.46 percent of the nation's land, and its sandy land totals 1.74 million km2, accounting for 18.1 percent of the country's total.

[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了去年席卷中国的沙尘暴大多来自国外的事实，并介绍了我国目前土地荒漠化及沙地现状。

1．What does the underlined word “decreasing” mean in Paragraph 4?

A．Going up.　　　 B．Going down.

C．Coming from.  D．Taking up.

解析：B　[词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“and the area of sandy land has also been falling by 1,284 km2 a year”可知，沙地面积每年也在减少1,284平方公里，根据句中关键词and和also可知，本句与上句是并列关系，由此可推断出上句中提到的“The land suffering from desertification”也应该是每年减少了7,585平方公里。Going down意为“下降”，符合语境。故选B项。]

2．Where do most of the sandstorms in China come from?

A．The northern Chinese regions.

B．The northwestern Chinese regions.

C．Foreign countries.

D．The western part of China.

解析：C　[细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Most of the sandstorms that had swept China last year originated from foreign land, a Chinese official in charge of desertification control said on Monday.”可知，席卷中国的沙尘暴大多来自国外。故选C项。]

3．Which of the following is believed to be the sand source to northeast Asia?

A．China.  B．Africa.

C．Mongolia.  D．Australia.

解析：A　[细节理解题。根据第三段中的“China also suffers from sandstorms from outside the country while being blamed as a sand source to northeast Asia”可知，中国被指责为东北亚的沙源。故选A项。]

4．In a magazine，the passage may be found in the column of  ________ .

A．entertainment  B．health

C．education  D．environment

解析：D　[推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Most of the sandstorms that had swept China last year originated from foreign land, a Chinese official in charge of desertification control said on Monday.”可知，文章介绍了去年席卷中国的沙尘暴大多来自国外的事实。再根据最后一段中的“Currently, the desertification land in China makes up 2.64 million km2, accounting for 27.46 percent of the nation's land”可知，文章介绍了我国目前土地荒漠化及沙地现状，而土地荒漠化及沙地现象都与环境有关，所以本篇文章应该出现在杂志中的“环境”专栏。故选D项。]
