【解析】

试题分析：文章大意：文章讲述的是沙漠里的一朵花希望自己快点长大，能够为沙漠的一隅增添美丽。

【1】考查定语从句。句中的先行词为desert，在从句中作地点状语，故用关系副词where。句意：有朵小花生长在遍地干旱、满目悲凉的沙漠中。

【2】考查非谓语动词。句中的逻辑主语为it，代指young flower，与enjoy之间为主动关系，故用现在分词作状语。句意：它独自生长在那里，享受着每一天……

【3】考查关系词。根据句意可知，这里表示“什么时候”，故用关系词when。句意：她问太阳公公，“我什么时候才能长大？”

【4】考查形容词。这里为形容词作表语。句意：要有耐心！ 我每次抚摸你，你都会长大一点。

【5】考查连词。前后句为因果关系，故用because。句意：因为她也有机会为沙漠的一隅增添美丽了。

【6】考查连词。前后句为转折关系，故用连词but。句意：但是一天，一位猎人经过，正好踩在她身上。她快要死了。

【7】考查动词。这里表示“垂死的”，故用dying。句意：并不是因为她即将死去，而是因为再没有机会为沙漠增添一丝美丽了。

【8】考查副词。根据句意可知这里表示否定，故用never。句意：因为再没有机会为沙漠增添一丝美丽了。

【9】考查冠词。这里a second表示“再一次”。 句意：他俯下身，抚摸着她，再给予她一次生命。

【10】考查介词。这里考查短语because of因为，后接名词。句意：由于她的存在，这沙漠的一隅变得如此美丽。
