题目

课内阅读。每一片法国梧桐树的落叶，都像一个金色的小巴掌，熨帖地、平展地粘在水泥道上。它们排列得并不规则，甚至有些凌乱，然而，这更增添了水泥道的美。我一步一步小心地走着，一片一片仔细地数着。我穿着一双棕红色的小雨靴。你瞧，这多像两只棕红色的小鸟，在秋天金黄的叶丛间，愉快地蹦跳着、歌唱着……要不是怕上课迟到，我会走得很慢很慢的。一夜秋风，一夜秋雨。当我背着书包去上学时，第一回觉得，门前的水泥道真美啊！阅读理解Most of the sandstorms that had swept China last year originated from foreign land,a Chinese official in charge of desertification control said Monday.And the invasions(入侵)could partly explain the frequent sandstorms in the country in recent years despite its achievements in desertification control.Since the start of last spring,the north and northwestern Chinese regions had been hit by 17 sandstorms,of which,a dozen came from foreign land.Situated in the central-Asia sandstorm region,one of the world’s four largest sandstorm sources,China also suffers from sandstorms from outside the country while being blamed as a sand source to northeast Asia.The other three major sources are in Africa,North America and Australia.The land suffering from desertification has been decreasing by 7,585 sq.km annually in China,and the area of sandy land has also been falling by 1,284 sq.km a year.The shrinkage(收缩)forms a clear contrast to the fact that the land suffering from desertification and sandy feature was added by 10,400 sq.km and 3,436 sq.km late last century,respectively.Currently,the desertification land in China makes up 2.64 million sq.km,accounting for 27.46 percent of the nation’s land,and its sandy land totals 1.74 million sq.km,accounting for 18.1 percent of the country’s total.1.What does the underlined word “decreasing” mean in Paragraph 4?A.Going down.
