Sandstorms hit northwest China’s Gansu Province and north China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (内蒙古自治区) on the first day of the new century.According to Sun Landong，a meteorologist (气象学家) with the Lanzhou Meteorology Observatory，visibility (能见度) was less than 100 meters in Minqin，a Gansu county near Inner Mongolia，because of sand.When visibility drops to less than 1 kilometer，it is called a sandstorm.The sandstorm in Minqin blew up dust in neighboring towns，such as Baiyin，Wuwei，Jinchang and Lanzhou，the capital city of Gansu Province.Dustladen winds also swept into Beijing.Brought by northwesterly blowing at more than 20 meters per second，dust first reached the capital’s suburbs at 7 a．m.，downtown areas at 9 a．m..The winds，which died down during the night，brought the temperature down to as low as 8℃ below zero and many flights put off their planned time from the city’s airport.
It is quite rare for sandstorms，which are frequent between March and June，to happen in winter，when the earth is frozen.The sandstorms in Gansu and Inner Mongolia do not necessarily mean there will be more of them in the spring than last year，when they were serious，but Beijing is taking it very seriously.It is reported that Beijing will spend 6 billion yuan (725 million dollars) in preventing sandstorms in the capital and has already set up a special team to make sure what causes them.

A．Sandstorms struck Gansu Province.
B．Sandstorms happened on the first day of the new century.

D．The experts are trying their best to determine the causes of the sandstorms formed this year.
2．Suppose the dust was 300 kilometers away from Beijing，it would reach Beijing about________ hours later if it travelled at a speed of 20 meters per second.
A．4.2 B．15 C．20 D．25
3．Why did sandstorms begin in the winter this year?
A．Because there was little snow this winter.
B．Because a lot of trees have been cut down.
C．Because people took few measures to control them.
D．It is not mentioned in the passage.
4．The author wrote the passage to________.
A．tell us the environment is becoming worse and worse

My dream ended when I was born.Although I never knew it then，I just held on to something that would never come to pass.__1__But in the morning when you wake up，they are remembered just as a dream.That is what happened to me.
I always had the dream to dance like a beautiful ballerina twirling around and around and hearing people applaud for me.When I was young，I would twirl around and around in the fields of wildflowers that grew in my backyard.__2__I would dance so fast that I would forget where I was，until I would hear sounds that reminded me of where I really was.I thought that if I twirled faster everything would disappear and I would wake up in a new place.Reality woke me up when I heard
a voice saying，“I don’t know why you bother trying to dance.__3__Besides，you don’t have the talent to even be a dancer.” I remember how those words paralyzed every feeling in my body. __4__
As I grew older，I began to realize that the reason why my dream was even born in the first place，was that it was something that was inside of me.__5__It’s not that I wanted it to die，but I allowed it to die the day I started listening to the words，“You can’t do it.”
