The Taklimakan Desert(塔克拉玛干沙漠), which is in the northwest part of China, is the biggest desert in our country. It has been a big worry because it's really large, about 337,600 square kilometers and there are a lot of sandstorms that come from it. These sandstorms are very bad for the nature and the way people live around it. So, people started a big project to put a green belt(带) around the desert.
By the end of 2023, a large part of a 2,761-kilometer-long green belt had already been made around the desert. In 2024, the last 285 kilometers, mostly in the south of the desert where the sandstorms are super bad, were finished. Now the whole Taklimakan Desert has a green belt all around it. This Project has to do with six counties(县) in three parts of Xinjiang.
The building of this green belt used many different scientific ways. For example, the ChinaRailway Construction Development Group (中铁建发展集团) made a system to stop the sand. This system has three main things. There are tall things to stop the sand, squares made of straw(草方格) and wide lines of trees. These things work together well to stop the desert from getting bigger.
When the green belt around the desert was successfully finished, it brought a lot of good things.First, it made the nature around the desert better. There are fewer and not as strong sandstorms now.Second, it kept the farming near the desert safe. So, farmers can grow food more easily. Also, the places where people live in cities and in the countryside are nicer. Because there are fewer sandstorms, there is less harm to the things like roads and buildings, and more people come to visit. So, the local people can make more money from having visitors. This project shows how much China wants to stop the desert from getting worse and make the nature better.
51. Where does the Taklimakan Desert lie in China?
A. Southwest. B. Northwest. C. Southeast. D. Northeast.
52. What is the total length of the green belt around the Taklimakan Desert in 2024?
A. 2,761 kilometers. B. 285 kilometers C. 3,046 kilometers. D. 337,600 kilometers.
53. What does the underlined phrase“These things” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The six counties. B. The sandstorms.
C. The visitors. D. Ingredients of the sand-stopping system.
54. What is the right order of the following events?
① The green belt project around the Taklimakan Desert was started.
② A large part of the green belt was constructed by the end of 2023.
③ The final part of the green belt was finished in 2024.
④ Sandstorms from the Taklimakan Desert caused various problems.
A. ④①②③ B. ①④②③ C. ④②①③ D. ①②③④
55. What could be the best title of the text?
A. The History of the Taklimakan Desert
B. The Different Types of Deserts in China
C. China's Largest Desert Fully Encircled with Green Belt
D. Advantages of the Green Belt around the Taklimakan Desert

Dear Li Hua,
I'm sorry to hear about your problems. Here are some suggestions for you.
First, it's important to understand why parents ask us to do chores. They want us to learn independence and responsibility.You can talk to them and make a chore plan. For example, do the dishes or fold clothes for 15 minutes daily.That way,you'll share the housework without feeling stressed.
Second, to make weekends meaningful, try new hobbies! You can read interesting books,practise drawing, or even cook simple meals. If you feel bored, call a friend to do homework together or play sports outside.
Remember, relaxing doesn't mean doing nothing-- doing what you love makes time worthwhile. I hope these ideas help! Keep a positive attitude, and you'll find life more colorful.
