　　Ⅳ.阅读理解

　　Scientists are trying to make the deserts into good land again.They want to bring water to the deserts so that people can live and grow food there.They are learning a lot about the deserts，but more and more of the earth is becoming desert all the time.Scientists may not be able to change the desert in time.

　　Why is more and more land becoming desert？Scientists think that people make deserts.People are doing bad things to the earth.For example，scientists tell the people how important plants are for stopping land becoming desert, but people don’t pay enough attention to the green plants.

　　Some places on the earth don’t get much rain.But they still don’t become deserts.This is because some green plants are growing there.Small green plants and grass are very important to dry places.Plants don’t let the sun make the earth even drier.Plants don’t let the wind blow the soil away.When a bit of rain falls，the plants hold the water.Without plants, the land can become desert more easily.The present fact is that green plants on the earth are fewer and fewer.If there were no green plants on the earth，the whole earth would become desert.

　　1．Deserts________.

　　A．never have any plants or animals in them before

　　B．can all be turned into good land soon

　　C．have little water or plants

　　D．make the earth drier

　　解析：选C。本文为常识题和推断题。由短文第一段第二句“They want to bring water to the deserts so that people can live and grow food there.”可推出deserts为缺水的地区，再由常识“沙漠就是缺水少植物的地区” 我们也可选出答案。

　　2．Small green plants are very important to dry places because________.

　　A．they don’t let the sun make the earth into good land

　　B．they don’t let the wind blow soil away

　　C．they are green

　　D．they have leaves

　　解析：选B。本题由第三段第六句“Plants don’t let the wind blow the soil away.”可以知道植物可以阻止风把土壤吹走，由此得出答案B项。

　　3．Land is becoming desert little by little because________.

　　A．few plants grow there

　　B．there is not enough rain

　　C．people haven’t done what scientists want them to do

　　D．scientists know little about the deserts

　　解析：选A。本题为推理判断题。由整篇文章可知植物在保护土地沙漠化方面起着重要的作用，土地沙漠化就反映了植物少的事实。由此选择A项。

　　4．From the second paragraph，we know that________.

　　A．scientists know how to change desert into good land

　　B．to stop the earth becoming desert，people should do good things to the earth as scientists say

　　C．if scientists can bring water to desert，people can live and grow food there

　　D．more and more places are becoming deserts all the time

　　解析：选B。本题为推理判断题。第二段主要告诉我们土地沙漠化是由于人们对地球正在进行破坏(砍伐树木等)，因此我们可以知道：要想阻止地球的沙漠化，人们必须对地球做些好事(植树造林等)。

　　5．After reading this，we learn that________.

　　A．plants can keep dry land from becoming desert

　　B．it is good to get rid of the grass in the deserts

　　C．all places without much rain will become deserts

　　D．it is better for the dry land to grow grass than to grow trees
