六、阅读短文,回答问题(每题答案不超过4个词)(共3小题;分别为1、2、2分,满分5分)
Some deserts have a magical wonder—singing sand dunes沙丘. These special dunes can make surprising and amazing sounds.
Not every sand dune can sing—only the ones in places like China's Gobi Desert, the Sahara Desert, and some deserts in America. People can hear the sounds from very far away, sometimes lasting for several minutes. Some dunes even make different musical sounds, depending on how fast you move down the dunes!

When the wind blows strongly or when people move down these dunes, the sand makes deep, musical noises. Scientists say this happens because the sand grains沙粒 are all very similar in size and shape. When they move, they rub摩擦 each other and make these special sounds.
The best time to hear the singing is on sunny days when the sand is very dry. Many visitors love moving down the dunes to make the sand sing!
This natural wonder shows how amazing our planet is. Next time you think deserts are just hot and quiet places, remember—some can put on a musical show! Wouldn't you love to visit one and make the sand sing for you?
