Câu hỏi:

Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.

1. As global temperatures rise and the population increases, desertification is becoming a growing concern. Desertification is the process in which land that was once fertile and suitable for farming becomes desert. This occurs mainly in drylands, which include arid, semi-arid, and sub-humid regions. [I] These areas have low or unpredictable rainfall and make up more than 40% of the Earth's land.

2. Desertification affects over 100 countries, especially those with poor communities that depend on farming for survival. According to the European Commission’s World Atlas of Desertification, more than 75% of the Earth's land has already been degraded, and by 2050, up to 90% of the land could be affected. [II]

3. The causes of land degradation differ from one region to another. [III] In Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, excessive irrigation for agriculture has caused the Aral Sea to shrink, turning it into a salty desert. In Africa’s Sahel region, rapid population growth has led to more wood cutting, illegal farming, and land clearing for housing. These activities have worsened the state of the land.

4. Climate change may worsen desertification. [IV] A 2-degree Celsius rise in temperature could cause southern Spain to turn into desert, and 30% of the Earth’s land could dry out. When land becomes desert, it can no longer support human life or animals. Food cannot grow, water becomes scarce, and habitats disappear. This can lead to health problems, such as malnutrition and diseases from dust and contaminated water.

5. In 1994, the United Nations created the Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD). This agreement involves 122 countries that have committed to protecting the land and preventing desertification. The UNCCD supports projects like the Great Green Wall in Africa to restore land and improve land management. Similar efforts are taking place in China.
