解析：本文讲述了人类是如何利用沙漠中的绿洲、动物，并依靠自身的努力而得以在沙漠中种植庄稼，从而生存下来。说明人定胜天的道理。
1. 空白部分两句构成转折关系，故选择并列连词but。
7
2. 沙漠中风多雨少，rain一词为不可数名词，其复数形式rains表示雨水多，故应选rain。
3. 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enough。
4. 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. 沙漠之所以出现绿洲的根本原因是有了水，故选water。
6. call 在这里意为“将……称为……”为正确选项。
7. 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. 表示“也”时，too 一般放在肯定句末，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. 固定说法depend on意为“依靠”、“凭借”。
10. 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. 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. 固定说法look for 意思为“寻找”。
13. 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. 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. 固定搭配refuse to do sth.意为“拒绝干某事”。
