六、阅读理解。
The Sahara Desert is the largest hot-and-dry desert in the world. It covers over nine million square kilometres across North Africa. The weather there can be very different in a day's time. During the day, temperatures rise above 40℃, while it can be very cold at night. It is one of the toughest(艰难的) environments on the earth.
The Sahara Desert is very big but has very few people. About two and a half million people live there. Most of them are nomads. Nomads are people who have no permanent(固定的) homes. They move from place to place, carrying everything they need to live. The nomads of the Sahara Desert are called Bedouin, which means "desert people". They depend on goats, sheep, and camels for food and transport. Water is the most important to them. They need water to live, so they must carry enough water or know where to find it. Without water, life is impossible.
A desert is not defined(定义) by sand but by the lack of rain. To be a desert, a place must get less than 250 mm of rain each year. Surprisingly, only 25% of the Sahara Desert is covered in sand. The rest is rock and gravel(沙砾).
Long ago, the Sahara Desert was covered in ice and later turned into grasslands. Over time, it became the desert we see today.

### 六、阅读理解
撒哈拉沙漠是世界上最大的炎热干燥的沙漠。它横跨北非，面积超过900万平方千米。那里一天之内的天气会有很大变化。白天，气温会升到40℃以上，而夜晚则会非常寒冷。它是地球上最恶劣的环境之一。
撒哈拉沙漠非常大，但人口非常少。大约有250万人居住在那里。他们中的大多数是游牧民族。游牧民族是没有固定住所的人。他们从一个地方搬到另一个地方，携带他们生活所需的一切东西。撒哈拉沙漠的游牧民族被称为贝都因人，意思是“沙漠居民”。他们依靠山羊、绵羊和骆驼获取食物和交通工具。水对他们来说是最重要的。他们需要水来生存，所以他们必须携带足够的水或者知道在哪里能找到水。没有水，生命就不可能存在。
沙漠的定义不是由沙子决定的，而是由降雨量少决定的。一个地方要成为沙漠，每年的降雨量必须少于250毫米。令人惊讶的是，撒哈拉沙漠只有25%的面积被沙子覆盖。其余的是岩石和沙砾。
很久以前，撒哈拉沙漠被冰雪覆盖，后来变成了草原。随着时间的推移，它变成了我们今天看到的沙漠。
