2019年高中英语 Module 4 Sandstorms in Asia Period 3 Grammar（语法专题课）课后阅读作业 外研版必修3. 阅读理解Most of the sandstorms that had swept China last year came from foreign land, a Chinese official in charge of desertification control said on Monday. And the invasions(入侵)could partly explain the frequent sandstorms in the country in recent years despite its achievements in desertification control. Since the start of last spring, the northern and northwestern Chinese regions had been hit by 17 sandstorms, of which, a dozen came from foreign land. Situated in the central-Asia sandstorm region, one of the worlds four largest sandstorm sources, China also suffers from sandstorms from outside the country while being blamed as a sand source to northeast Asia. The other three major sources are in Africa, North America and Australia. The land suffering from desertification has been decreasing by 7, 585 square kilometres annually in China, and the area of sandy land has also been falling by 1, 284 square kilometres a year. The shrinkage(收缩)forms a clear contrast to the fact that the land suffering from desertification and sandy feature was added by 10, 400 square kilometres and 3, 436 square kilometres late last century, respectively. Currently, the desertification land in China makes up 2. 64 million square kilometres, accounting for 27. 46 percent of the nations land, and its sandy land totals 1. 74 million square kilometres, accounting for 18. 1 percent of the countrys total. 【语篇概述】本文主要讲了中国遭受沙尘暴侵袭, 通过治理在控制沙漠化方面取得了一定成效。1.
