答案 1—5
[2026 江苏盐城期末]While studying a map of China, have you ever noticed the Mu Us Desert（毛乌素沙漠）in the northwest? If you haven't, then you probably never will. 1 You might wonder: Why is this happening? Who is the “killer”? Well, this is not a murder（谋杀）story. It is, instead, the result of years of efforts of tree planting. 2 Sandstorms were common in northern Shaanxi. Lots of people had to leave their homes.
The fight against desertification（沙漠化）began in the 1970s. The work was more than tiring. Shi Guangyin led a team to plant trees in a town in Yulin, Shaanxi. 3 That night, however, a strong wind blew away all the young trees. The next day, the team replanted all the trees.
4 One of them is Guo Chengwang. With encouragement from the government, in 1984, he started to plant trees in his village. His children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren have continued the job. The family has turned 30 square kilometres of desert into woods.
These trees have made a big difference. 5 With continuous efforts, the Mu Us Desert will disappear one day. Our motherland is becoming greener and lovelier.
