16.While many countries in the world have seen a decline in forest resources,China has increased both the area and reserves of its forests and was listed as one of the 15countries preserving the most area of forests by the United Nations Environment Program.Reserved man-made forests in China totaled 53.84million hectares,the forest coverage rate being 18.21percent.
From 1998to 2001,the Central Government invested 42.7billion yuan in central and western China to protect vegetation(植被),support local farmers financially and promote projects for transforming farmland back to forests and grassland.In 2003,the Regulations on Transforming Farmlands to Forest went into official force.The project to reforest farmland has been carried out all over the country.By 2004,13.33million hectares of farmland had been reforested throughout China.Another effective measure of forest protection is the natural forest conservation program started in 1998that stipulated a nationwide end to the cutting of trees in natural forests.
As stipulated by the Research Report on China's Sustainable(可持續(xù)的) Development Strategy on Forestry,China's forest coverage rate is expected to reach 28percent by 2050with an added area of 110million hectares of planted forest.Desertification is one of the most severe environmental problems facing China.The area of desertification,which is 2.62million sq km or about 27percent of China's land area,is far beyond the nation's total farmland.Today,although desertification has been controlled in some areas,it still is expanding at a rate of more than 3,000sq km every year.
The State Forestry Administration has carried out a nationwide sand control program,which has three stages:the first stage aims to get basic control of desertification by 2010; the second stage aims to reduce the area of desertification every year until 2030; and the third stage aims to raise the nation's forest coverage and bring all desertification sources under effective control by the year 2050.

D.controlled
33.We know from the third paragraph thatD.
A.the desertification has been under control
B.the farmland is much larger than deserts
C.desertification area will be 2.65million sq km in 2050
D.forest coverage rate is lower than 28percent at present
34.Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage?D
A.China's progress in preserving forest is appreciated by UN.
B.Lots of farmland and deserts have been reforested up to now.
C.The nationwide sand control program includes three stages.

35.The passage mainly talks aboutC.
A.resource and environment problems facing China
B.China's Sustainable Development Strategy on Forestry
C.protection of forests and control of desertification
D.desertification sources under effective control.
分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了森林保護(hù)和控制土地沙漠化,土地沙漠化已經(jīng)為人類帶來了巨大的影響,必須采取措施治理.
解答 31.A.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第二段"From 1998to 2001,the Central Government invested 42.7billion yuan in central and western China to protect vegetation(植被),support local farmers financially and promote projects for transforming farmland back to forests and grassland"可知政府采取措施,支持?jǐn)U大森林覆蓋率的工作;故選A.
32.B.詞義猜測題.根據(jù)文章第二段"Another effective measure of forest protection is the natural forest conservation program started in 1998that stipulated a nationwide end to the cutting of trees in natural forests"森林保護(hù)的另一有效的措施是自然森林保護(hù)計(jì)劃開始在1998that規(guī)定樹木在自然森林的砍伐全國結(jié)束,可知詞義為規(guī)定需要;故選B.
33.D.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章第三段"The area of desertification,which is 2.62million sq km or about 27percent of China's land area,is far beyond the nation's total farmland"可知森林覆蓋率低于百分之28目前;故選D.
34.D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第四段"the second stage aims to reduce the area of desertification every year until 2030"可知第二階段的目的是每年減少荒漠化地區(qū)到2030年;故選D.
35.C.主旨大意題.通讀全文,可知文章主要講了森林保護(hù)和控制土地沙漠化,土地沙漠化已經(jīng)為人類帶來了巨大的影響,必須采取措施治理;故選C.
點(diǎn)評 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí),要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
