Answer 1

【答案】is；changing；where；Although；suddenly；goes；received；quickly；of；spreading
【解析】
（1）時間狀語是now，主語one fifth of the Earth's surface是第三人稱單數(shù)，故填 is。
（2）前面有be 動詞is ，故用現(xiàn)在進行時，填 changing。
（3）用where 引導(dǎo)定語從句。
（4）盡管沙漠中不經(jīng)常下雨，故填 Although。
（5）有時可能會突然有大雨。句末用副詞 suddenly。
（6）the sun 是第三人稱單數(shù)，故動詞用 goes。
（7）根據(jù)后面的 by the ground 可以推斷此處是過去分詞作后置定語，故填 received。
（8）用副詞 quickly修飾后面的動詞disappears，表示迅速消失。
（9）用固定短語 because of +名詞，意思是：由于這些變化。
（10）prevent ……from doing 表示阻止……，故填 spreading。植樹可以防止沙子擴散。
