Saihanba is China's largest manmade forest. Saihanba means “beautiful and high mountains”.
Around the 10th century, the rulers of the Liao Dynasty made it a royal (皇家的) hunting place because it was home to beautiful forests, green grassland, clear lakes and different kinds of wild animals. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty liked Saihanba so much that he made hunting there a royal festival. The royal festival finally stopped because of no money and it had to be open to the public. After that, the cutting down of trees and wildfires changed green Saihanba into gray deserts. By the 1950s, the beauty of Saihanba had completely disappeared with only one tree left. The tree is now famous as “the Tree of Honor(荣耀)”.
On seeing the tree, Chinese scientists made up their minds and dreamt of restoring Saihanba. In February, 1962, plans were made and more than 120 foresters joined 242 local people in Saihanba to begin rebuilding it. Over the next few decades, those first treeplanters fought against many difficulties to continue planting trees. After their deaths, their children and relatives followed them and went on with their hard work of planting trees.
Today, the scientists' dream has come true and beautiful grassland and flowers appear again around the Tree of Honor. Chinese people have successfully changed Saihanba in recent years.
53. ( )What's the right order of the events (事件) in Paragraph 2?
①Saihanba became a royal hunting place.
②Saihanba was a desert and disappeared.
③Saihanba wasn't closed to the public any more.

A.①③②④ B.①③④② C.①④③② D.①④②③
54.( )What does the underlined word “restoring” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

C.Arriving at. D.Travelling to.
