41、and can undergo, specifically desertification, that“s the process through which land becomes part of a desert. Now a desert is defined as a place that receives a certain maximum amount of rainfall. But you may not know that it usually takes more than just a lack of water to turn productive land into
42、 a desert. There are several specific human activities that when combined with a lack of rainfall encourages desertification. For example, over cultivation, growing more crops than soil can support. The soil loses its nutrients, so it needs either to be fertilized or to be left unused for at least a
43、 season. But if neither of these things happens, if these nutrients in the soil don“t get replaced, the damaged soil stops producing. Another cause of desertification is overgrazing. That“s when the grasses and trees and shrubs of an area are expected to feed more animals than they reasonably can. T
44、oo many animals eating in the same area will kill the vegetation. And because it“s the roots of this vegetation that hold much of the soil together, when too much of the vegetation dies, the soil erodes. But maybe the most ironic example of human behavior that can lead to desertification is irrigati
45、on. It may seem to run counter to common sense to say that introducing water into an area can cause it to become more like a desert. But there are plenty of bad irrigation practices that do just that. Bringing in too much salty water and then not providing adequate drainage for it will fill the soil
46、 with salt, and turn the area into a desert. How is the soil damaged by over cultivation? 解析 细节题。根据 For example, over cultivation, growing more crops than soil can support. The soil loses its nutrients 可知，过度耕种也就是超过土地承载力种植过多的植物，会导致土地营养流失。因此，正确答案是 D。A.Too many animals eating the plants in one small ar

49、 does overgrazing damage soil? 解析 细节题。根据 Too many animals eating in the same area will kill the vegetation. And because it“s the roots of this vegetation that hold much of the soil together, when too much of the vegetation dies, the soil erodes. 可知，过度放牧会严重破坏植被，而这些植被的根能够凝沙固土，一旦植被被破坏，土地就会退化。因此，正确答案是 B。A.It can cause floodingB.It can carry diseases that affect animals.C.It can introduce too much salt into the soil. D.It can divert water from important cr
