Answer 1

1. B空白部分两句构成转折关系，故选择并列连词but。

2. A沙漠中风多雨少。rain—词为不可数名词。

3. D这里讲沙漠中的一点点雨水并不能满足大多数植物生长的需要，故选择en₀ugh。

4. A see sb. do sth.意为"看见某人做某事"，这里应用省去to的动词不定式。

5. D沙漠之所以出现绿洲的根本原因是有了水，故选water。

6. C call在这里意为"将……称为……"，为正确选项。

7. B every,a和one后面都应该接可数名词单数，不能放在kinds前面。all kinds of意为"各种各样的"。

8. A表示"也"时，too—般放在肯定句末，either放在否定句末，also放在句中，在此为正确选项，而still不合题意。

9. C闳定说法depend on意为"依靠"、"钩借"。

10. C一些动物能在沙漠中生存下来，说明了他们适应了这里雨水稀少的气候，不像其他动物那样需要太多的水，故选择much。

11. D通读本段不难发现，本段承上文接着讲述动物的用途，故选animals。

12. B固定说法look for意思为"寻找"。

13. D other后接可数名词时应用复数形式;the other后接可数名词单数时表示两者中的另一个,不合文意。

14. C根据下文沙漠里的人从不会拒绝帮助别人，说明他们彼此友好。

15. D固定搭配refuse to do sth.意为"拒绝干某事"。
