B
Have you ever heard of a foreign teacher from Bristol, UK? He is working very hard to achieve his Chinese dream. His name is James. He has been a teacher at Hunan University of Arts and Science for eight years. His students love him and call him a “legendary” foreign teacher.
Since he was a little child, he felt like he had a feeling of friendship with China. Now, he spends a lot of time doing charity(慈善) work. And he has always worked wholeheartedly for the people. He cares about the veterans(退伍军人) who fought in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931—1945). He has been volunteering at a local aid center in Changde, Hunan province for those veterans for over six years. He often travels to many small villages to visit the veterans with other volunteers. “Charity is our duty,” says James. “We shouldn’t forget these veterans. Everyone should care for them.”
James also helps poor students by supporting their education. He believes every student should have a chance to learn. Because of his effort, in September 2014, James won Hunan’s Seventh Xiaoxiang Friendship Award(奖). This award is given to foreigners who help make Hunan a better place by the People’s Government of Hunan province.
Now James is trying to get a Chinese green card. He wants to stay in China forever. “Some people think being successful means having enough money,” he says. “But my dream is to help more people in need.” He hopes to become part of Chinese society and take real action to achieve his Chinese dream step by step.

C
The Taklimakan Desert is the largest desert in China. It is about 337,600 square kilometers in the Tarim Basin in Xinjiang. The dry environment makes it difficult for life there. Sandstorms often happen, and the moving sand seriously influences the lives of local people and the natural environment in this area. However, the Chinese government and people have been making much effort to control the desert. Here are some of scientific and effective ways they have used.
One of the main ways is to build a tree belt(带) around the desert. By the end of 2023, a 2,761-kilometer-long green belt had already been built around it. In 2024, the last part of the belt, 285 kilometers, was finished. It’s about 3,046 kilometers in total. The belt lies as a strong wall against the spread of the desert.
Biological ways are also widely used. For example, people grow special plants that can grow well with little water, like huyang, suosuo, shabang and so on. These plants hold the sand and reduce sandstorms. At the same time, they can also bring certain economic(经济的) benefits to local people.
And the method of using solar power generation(太阳能发电) has been used too. By building greenhouses, people can grow vegetables and fruits. In this way, they can make full use of the land and light in the desert area.
Great changes have already taken place. The natural environment around the desert has been improved greatly. The local economy has also been developed rapidly. The success in the control of this desert shows: as long as we have a strong will and use scientific methods, we can protect the environment and build a better future for both people and nature.

A. By listing facts.
B. By giving examples.
C. By answering questions.
30. What does the underlined word “effective” probably mean in Paragraph 1?
A. Expensive.
B. Simple.
C. Useful.
31. Why do people grow special plants in the desert?
A. To make the desert more beautiful.
B. To prevent sandstorms and get economic benefits.
C. To provide food for animals and make more money.
32. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? (P=Paragraph)

答案： 29.A [解析]细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The Taklimakan Desert is the largest desert in China. It is about 337,600 square kilometers in the Tarim Basin in Xinjiang. The dry environment makes it difficult for life there. Sandstorms often happen, and the moving sand seriously influences the lives of local people and the natural environment in this area.”可知，作者开篇先列举塔克拉玛干沙漠的面积、位置及恶劣的环境等事实，引出治理话题。故选A。
30.C [解析]词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“scientific and effective ways they have used”并结合后文所列举的建造树木带、种植耐旱植物、利用太阳能发电等措施及其良好效果可知，effective意为“有用的，有效的”。故选C。
31.B [解析]细节理解题。根据第三段中的“These plants hold the sand and reduce sandstorms. At the same time, they can also bring certain economic(经济的) benefits to local people.”可知，种植特殊植物既防风固沙，又为当地人带来经济收益。故选B。
