《2025年仁爱英语同步练习与测试九年级全一册仁爱版》

(B)
There are deserts all over the world. Over half of Africa is desert (沙漠). There are deserts in China and Latin America as well. The United States has deserts in the southwest part of the country. In some places, deserts are growing. This is a serious problem. When people can not grow food or find animals to eat, they have to leave their homes.
Deserts spread for different reasons. Sometimes nature causes this problem. Wind can move sand away from deserts and onto useful land. When there is no rain for a long time, many plants die and the land becomes a desert. However, humans also cause deserts to grow. This process (过程) is called “desertification” and it happens in many ways. One way is caused by a lot of air pollution, which makes an area hotter. Hotter weather can reduce the amount of rain. Also, too many people in one area can damage the land. If they have many animals, their animals can also harm the land. When large animals like cows walk on soil too much, they turn it into dust. The wind easily blows the dust away. Trees help hold water in the ground. When people cut down a lot of trees, the water runs away and soil is ruined. Plants stop growing in these places.
All of these things can speed up desertification. To stop deserts from growing, people must think of ways to treat the land better.
