IV Choose the item (A, B, C or D) that best completes the unfinished statement (or best answers the question) about each passage
The size and location of the world's deserts are always changing
Over millions of years, as climates change and mountains rise, new dry and wet areas develop But within the
last 100 years, deserts have been growing at a "frightening" speed This is partly because of natural
changes, but the greatest desert makers are humans
In developing countries, 90 percent of the people use wood for cooking and heating They cut down trees for firewood But trees are important They cool the land under them and keep the sun off the smaller plants When leaves fall from a tree, they make the land richer When the trees are gone, the smaller plants die, and there is nothing but sand Yet people must use firewood, raise animals, and grow crops in order to live
Humans can make deserts, but humans can also prevent their growth
Algeria planted a green wall of trees across the edge of the Sahara to' stop the desert sand from spreading Mauritania planted a similar wall around Nouakchott, the capital Iran puts a thin covering of petroleum on sandy areas and plants trees The oil keeps the water and small ir the land, and men on motorcycles keep the sheep and goats away Other countries build long canals to bring water to desert areas
Yet land that will probably become desert in the future equals the size of Australia, the United States, and the former Soviet Union together Can people stop the growth of the world's deserts and save the land that is so essential to life?
41 Most people in developing countries .
A planted trees on the edge of the deserts B cook on wood fires
42 We can infer that men on motorcycles keep the sheep and goats away so that .
A they won't eat the small trees B they won't destroy the covering of oil
C they won't drink water in the canals D they won't blow the sand away
43 When all the trees in an area are cut down, .
A their leaves make the land richer B the smaller plants can grow better
C they cool the land under their leaves D there is nothing left but sand
44 The word "frightening" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to
A “awful” B "extremely fast" C “powerful” D "wonderful"
45 According to the passage, which of the following is the most important cause of desertification?
A The change of climate B The spread of deserts C Human activities D Cattle destroying trees
V Choose the word or phrase (A, B, C, or D) that best fits each space in the following passage
DESERTIFICATION The Sahara Desert is growing by 10km each year The whole earth gets 600km2 of desert area more every year This process is called "desertification." This term started being (46) in the 1950s
The idea of desertification was first known in the 1930s Much of the Great Plains grew very dry (47) a result of drought and poor farming techniques It was called the "Dust Bowl." Millions were forced to leave their farms and their ways of life Since then, (48) _have been great improvements in farming practices in the Great Plains These have prevented the "Dust Bowl" disaster (49) again
Grazing is one worry Cows do two things to the soil First, they eat grasses and plants that hold the soil in place Second, their hooves break down the top layer of soil The result is that the good soil can be blown away by the wind The dirt (50) behind is not good for growing

We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a meal Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish, brown bread, potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit Chocolates, sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad, especially when we eat them between meals They are harmful because they stick
to our teeth and cause decay
