B
Minqin County, located in the city of Wuwei in Gansu Province, is between China’s third and fourth largest deserts—the Badain Jaran and the Tengger. Local people plant suosuo trees, a plant that can survive in the desert, to prevent further desertification (沙漠化).
A number of local people have worked hard to turn the place into an oasis (绿洲). 27-year-old Zhong Lin is one of them. Growing up in Minqin, Zhong experienced sandstorms throughout his childhood. He once wanted to run away from his hometown and build his future in southern China.
However, he changed his mind when he saw the villagers’ hard lives and the terrible environment there. He said, “Suddenly I understood—running away isn’t the solution. Making a change is the key.” After graduating from university in 2020, Zhong returned to his hometown. “If suosuo trees can take their roots in sandstorms, why can’t young people?” he wrote in his diary.
Since then, Zhong has tried planting suosuo trees in the desert. He planted 500 trees in 2021, but most of them died. So he studied, learned from experienced villagers, and then planted more. After three years’ efforts, the trees he planted are now growing well in the desert, the land becoming green and lively.
To draw more attention to his hometown’s environment, Zhong shared videos about tree planting online and started an activity called “Please Plant a Tree in Minqin”. Encouraged by Zhong’s tree-planting stories, more and more volunteers from all over the country have come to Minqin to plant trees. Their common goal is to turn the desert into an oasis.

6. 定位第一段，原文提到民勤地处两大沙漠之间，当地人种植梭梭树防治沙漠化，可推断当地环境恶劣，村民生活条件较差。A选项“小县”、B选项“人口少”、C选项“多为农田”均未在第一段提及，故答案为D。
