10、ANSWER SHEET.Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.A scorching sun, an endless sea of sand and a waterless, forbiddingly lonely land that is the image most people have of deserts.

11、 falls in deserts: it may fall once or twice a year in a fierce torrent that fades almost as soon as it has begun, or which evaporates in the hot air long before it has got anywhere near the earth. It may fall in a sudden sweeping flood that carries everything in its path. Rains may only come once i

12、n five or six years or not fall for a decade or more. The Mojave desert in the United States remained dry for twenty-five years.Without water no living thing can survive, and one feature of the true desert landscape is the absence of vegetation.

Wind and torrential rain sweep away and erode the surface further.Eight million square kilometers of the worlds land surface is desert. Through

14、out history deserts have been expanding and retreating again. Cave paintings show that parts of the SaharaDesert were green and fertile about 10,000 years ago, and even animals like elephants and giraffes roamed the land. Fossil and dunes found in fertile and damp parts of the world show that these

15、areas were once deserts. But now the creation of new desert areas is happening on a colossal scale. Twenty million square kilometers, an area twice the size of Canada, is at a high to very high risk of becoming desert. With a further 1.25 million square kilometers under moderate risk, an area coveri

16、ng 30% of the earths land surface is desert, becoming desert, or in danger of becoming desert. The rate of growth of deserts is alarming.

17、hese regions are becoming deserts at the rate of more than 58,000 square kilometers a year or 44 hectares a minute. In North Africa at least 100,000 hectares of cropland are lost each year. At this rate there is a high risk that we will be confined to living on only 50% of this planets land surface

22、oks to television are one-way propositions: they push their content at us. The Web is two-way, push and pull.

28、 same thing can be found in operation at Hewlett-Packard, where engineers use the Web to help kids with science or math problems.
