(60%;2 points each)Passage 1Boost for Beijing - Tianjin Sandstorm Control ProgramAs spring draws near, Beijingers thoughts are turning to the annual onslaught of March sandstorms on their city - ordeals which see many tons of sand and grit dumped on large areas and which get into buildings and clog peoples hair, eyes and nostrils. Last year saw one two-day storm dump more than 30 tons of choking sand/grit on local streets before high winds carried it east to South Korea. Meanwhile, in efforts to reduce the effects of the storms, the Chinese government is reinforcing the Beijing-Tianjin sandstorm source, control program with new policies to boost the efficacy of current tree-planting and greening measures.: The program covers 75 counties in Hebei and Shanxi provinces, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous region and Beijing and Tianjin municipalities - a total area of 458,000 square kilometers. Over the next 10 years, 205,000 square kilometers of desert and soil-eroded land will be grassed. To date, a total of 2. 28 million hectares of such land have been transformed and 1.4 million hectares of woods planted. Just over two million hectares of new grassland and forestry have emerged in the regions covered by the program, resulting in a gradual improvement in overall ecological conditions. Despite this, it has become harder for the program to be carried out. To reduce or negate sandstorms in the capital as soon as possible, it is imperative to readjust current policies for desertification control and afforestation under the present program. Thus new policies will include permission for individuals to enjoy the same state subsidies for afforestation as official economic entities.Questions (11- 15) Multiple Choice: Choose the best answer among the choices given.
