kang ling, a scientist, attributed，（将归因为）the dry weather and sudden temperature changes to the widespread(分布广泛的) dust this spring. but peng xizhe, from fudan university, said the root cause of sandstorms was human activities, for example, excessive grazing（过度放牧）, overuse of water resources and population growth in the western regions. rapid population growth is the main challenge, as the environmental problems are basically associated with people and their activities. “dont be misled(误导) by the figure that population density（密度） in the region is only 52 persons per square kilometer(平方公里far less than the national average of 130 persons per square kilometer). the truth is that most people crowd the limited lands that are habitable（可居住的） there,” said peng. “it puts the already serious and damaged environment in more danger.” some experts say that moving people out of the area would be a good way. but others say china should encourage wise and scientific use of resources and improve family-planning in western regions. 71 1. the happening place and 72 73 february, march, april and may2. effects on peoples life threaten traffic safety 74 3. causes of sandstorms 75 dry weather sudden temperature changes human activities; 76 overuse of water resources 77 in western regions4. 78 79 80 improving family-planningsection b (10 marks) directions: read the following passage; answer the questions according to the information given in the passage. directions: write an english composition according to the instructions given below in chinese.though i dont have much money, i always try to think positively. however, sometimes, i also feel depressed and sad when i think how others have more than me, so i hate thinking about money. when i was younger, i always wondered why money was so important. but as i get older, of course that changes.last night, on my way home i stopped by to buy some hamburgers at a fast food restaurant. on my way in, a homeless man came over and asked, “do you have any bottles lying around?” i knew he w
