Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 26 to 30: The Sahara Desert is growing by 10km each year. The whole earth get 600km² of desert area more every year. This process is called “desertification”. This term started being used in the 1950s. The idea of desertification was first known in the 1930s. Much of the Great Plains grew very dry as a result of drought and poor farming techniques. It was called the “Dust Bowl”. Millions were forced to leave their farms and their ways of life. Since then, there have been great improvements in farming practices in the Great Plains. These have prevented the “Dust Bowl” disaster from occurring again. Grazing is one worry. Cows do two things to the soil. First, they eat grasses and plants that hold the soil in place. Second, their hooves break down the top layer of soil. The result is that the good soil can be blown away by the wind. The dirt left behind is not good for growing. Some think that drought cause this condition. In fact, it is mostly caused by people. It has become one of the most serious global problems. Droughts are normal in dry and semi-dry places. Well-managed lands can recover from droughts when the rains return. It is man’s effect on nature that is the key. A five-year drought was worsened by poor land management in West Africa some years ago. It caused the deaths of more than 100.000 people and 12 million cattle.
