There may be months or even years between one rainstorm and【C5】______. The rainwater quickly runs【C6】______the land, sinks into the sand or evaporates into the dry air.
   No matter how dry a desert may be, it is【C7】______to man. In some of the driest regions【C8】______has found valuable minerals. The discovery of petroleum, in particular,【C9】______great changes to the deserts. Oil is now the most important export of several desert countries in the Middle East, and it has been【C10】______in the Western Sahara. Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Kuwait are【C11】______called oil kingdoms.
   Man has changed the desert in many ways to make it a【C12】______place to live in. But the greatest problem of the deserts【C13】______. That problem is【C14】______water over large areas. Man is turning to the sea【C15】______water.
   Scientists are constantly【C16】______methods of【C17】______the salt from water so that it can be used in industry and agriculture. This is called desalinization. Perhaps the use of atomic power will make desalinization less expensive in the future. Some people believe that man will one day be able to【C18】______the climate and produce rainfall over the desert when it is wanted. This would be a simple【C19】______to the water problem, but we【C20】______much more about the atmosphere before that will be possible.
【C12】
选项 A、better
B、good
C、perfect
D、worse
答案A
解析 本题考查语境理解。句子的意思是： “人类在各方面做出努力以把沙漠变成一个更适合居住的地方”，因此只能选个比较级better。D选项worse“更糟糕”，显然不是人类改造沙漠的目的；B选项good“好的”，沙漠恶劣的自然环境应该不是什么好的居住地点；C选项 perfect“完美的”，又太绝对了，凭现在人类有限的力量还不能把沙漠变成非常理想的居住地。
