33、und, and is usually strong enough to move entire sand dunes.Air is unstable when heated, and this instability (不稳定性) in the air will cause the mixture of higher winds with winds in the lower atmosphere, producing strong surface winds.Sandstorms can disturb travels, and sometimes destroy whole roads,
34、 and dry flat areas, such as parts of the western United States.Similar dust storms can be found on the planet Mars, and are thought to be seasonal.Today, the destruction of forests and too much farming of farmland can cause a sandstorm problem.Overgrazing and too much use of water resources can als

53、这种猫大小的动物数量疯长,根据but判断,这是转折关系,以前由于皮毛交易,海狸鼠处于控制,现在这种海狸鼠之所以能够数量激增,是由于市场不再销售海狸鼠皮毛导致的,可以推断出划线词collapsed 是和Dcrashed倒闭的意思最相近。故选D。31What can we infer about wearing fur in New York according to Morgan?_B_AIts formal.BIts risky.CIts harmful.DIts traditional.解析:推理判断题。根据第二段Model Paige Morgan says, “To give peopl
