plants to survive if the rain is spread throughout the year. if it falls within one or two months and the rest of the year is dry, those plants may die and a desert may form.sand begins as tiny pieces of rock that get smaller and smaller as wind and weather wear them down. sand dunes (沙丘) are formed as winds move the sand across the desert. bit by bit, the dunes grow over the years, always moving with the winds and changing the shape. most of them are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high.there is, however, much more to a desert than sand. in the deserts of the southwestern united states, cliffs (悬崖)and deep valleys were formed from thick mud that once lay beneath a sea more than millions of years ago. over the centuries, the water dried up. wind, sand, rain, heat and cold all wore away at the remaining rocks. the faces of the desert mountains are always changingvery, very slowlyas these forces of nature continue to work on the rock. most deserts have a surprising variety of life. there are plants, animals and insects that have adapted to life in the desert. during the heat of the day, a visitor may see very few signs of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. as the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely.

something happenedthe earthquake. our eyes turned quickly from beijing towards sichuan. day after day we watched the terrible pictures on television. they went deep into our hearts. but our spirits were also lifted as we saw so many ordinary people become heroes. many people risked their own lives to save the lives of others. soon people from all over the country were trying to help. some travelled to sichuan to join the rescue effort; others sent food, water and clothes. and it seemed as if everyone was digging deep into their pockets to donate money.the sichuan earthquake was a terrible thing but it did teach us some valuable lessons. fist, it taught us the importance of helping others. without everyone joining together, the situations would have been much worse. it also taught us to appreciate our friends and family. we realized that the people we love so much could be taken from us very quickly.we also learned to respect the power of nature. the earth is our home but it can sometimes be a dangerous place to live in. earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and droughts can happen at any time. we cant do anything about that, but we do have the power to show our respect for nature by not causing pollution. that may be the most valuable lesson of all.根据短文内容，从a.b.c.d四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。（共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分）34.which of the following statements if ture according to
