五、阅读短文，回答问题
Haoyuan Village lies in the Gobi Desert, next to Helan Mountain. In 2008, as part of an environmental improvement programme, it was decided that, with its long hours of sunshine, large temperature difference between day and night, and loose soil, the area was ideal for growing grapes. Su Jinping was among the first to plant vines (葡萄藤).
“The village used to be a terrible, lifeless place. The wind was so strong that the rocks moved. You couldn't see any birds in the sky. All you ever saw was desert. When the wind was strong, your mouth would be full of sand. The seedlings(幼苗)looked so weak. I didn't know if they would survive. Anyway, I planted and watered them. To my surprise, they survived!” Su says. “Now, see the bunches of grapes! All shining and heavy! For a farmer, it's such an exciting sight.”
Grapes love barren(贫瘠的)land. The more barren the land is,the higher the quality will be. Before planting the vines,people need to plant trees as a windbreak(防风林). The rule is that windbreaks should be at least 15% of the area. The grape vines themselves also act as a windbreak.
Thanks to grape growing, 230 square kilometres of desert on the eastern part of the Helan Mountains has been changed into an oasis (绿洲). 70% of Haoyuan's people have found jobs in the wine industry and make over 30,000 yuan more than before every year.
“It's magical. Desert has been turned green. I'll work hard to protect the mountains. Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable treasure!" Su says.

解析：
【分析】
1. 第1题是地点信息题，解题思路为：快速浏览短文开头，寻找描述Haoyuan Village位置的语句，直接提取对应内容即可。
2. 第2题询问过去的环境，解题思路为：定位到Su Jinping描述过去村庄的段落，找到他对过去环境的评价语句，提取核心描述。
3. 第3题考查葡萄质量的关键因素，解题思路为：找到文中介绍葡萄生长与土地关系的句子，根据“土地越贫瘠，葡萄质量越高”的表述，提炼出关键因素。
4. 第4题是句意理解题，解题思路为：先分析划线句中的重点词汇，再结合上下文的环保主题，将句子转化为通顺的中文解释，或者提炼出保护自然的核心含义。
5. 第5题分析人物形象，解题思路为：结合Su Jinping率先种植葡萄、精心照料幼苗、坚持劳作并致力于保护山林的行为，归纳出他的性格特点。
【解析】
1. 根据短文第一句“Haoyuan Village lies in the Gobi Desert, next to Helan Mountain.”，直接提取地点信息。
2. 根据Su Jinping的描述“The village used to be a terrible, lifeless place.”，可知过去村庄环境糟糕、毫无生机。
3. 根据文中“Grapes love barren(贫瘠的)land. The more barren the land is,the higher the quality will be.”，可知贫瘠的土地是决定葡萄质量的关键。
4. 划线句“Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable treasure!”中，“Lucid waters”指清澈的水域，“lush mountains”指葱郁的山林，“invaluable treasure”是无价之宝，所以句子意思是“清澈的水和葱郁的山是无价之宝”，也就是强调保护自然的重要性。
5. 从Su Jinping率先尝试种植葡萄，悉心照料幼苗，最终让葡萄存活并带动村庄发展，还表示要努力保护山林的行为，能看出他是勤劳的人。
