题目：A Case Study: Desertification around the Gobi Desert

THE PROBLEMS

The GOBI Desert，in the north of China，is now seven times bigger than Britain.China has large desert areas and much of its agricultural land is being threatened by desertification，which is getting worse.In addition，soil erosion has led to a huge loss of farmland and the drying up of rivers.Consequently，the livelihoods of 35 million people are being threatened.Furthermore it is even affecting cities.The nearest sand dune is less than 100 miles from Beijing，where unpleasant sandstorms are becoming more frequent.The worse the situation，the more pressure there is on the government to take action.

The Causes

The reasons for the changes are complex.It is clear that pollution of the air and water by factories is affecting the environment.Trees and other vegetation die，and so soil is eroded.The more trees that die，the less water is held in the earth.The need for wood for fuel and buildings leads to further deforestation，which causes further soil erosion.Local farmers find it more and more difficult to make a living.They end up using inefficient farming methods，which again leads to soil erosion.

The Solutions

The Government is carrying out anti-desertification projects，including the creation of a forest belt around deserts.The tree-planting campaign，known as the Great Green Wall，is meant to protect Beijing from sandstorms.China hopes to control the expansion of desert land by the year 2010 and plans to establish a protected eco-system in desert areas by 2050. 操作提示：通过题干后的下拉框选择题目的正确答案。
