【解析】

本文介绍了沙漠里除了沙子还有绿洲。人们就住在那里，在那里的田地里种各种各样的作物。人们也住在绿洲以外。他们有不同种类的动物，如骆驼和绵羊。绵羊用来提供肉和牛奶，骆驼用来帮助人们搬运东西。最后介绍了人们非常友好，决不会拒绝帮助任何有困难的人。

【1】句意：许多人认为沙漠里只有沙子。根据原文的句子You may think there is only sand in the desert of the world, but it is not true. 你可能认为世界上的沙漠里只有沙子，但事实并非如此。可知，句子Many people think there is _____1_____ but sand in the desert. 中的空应该填nothing符合语境。这句话的语境是：许多人认为沙漠里除了沙子，什么都没有。故答案填：nothing。

【2】句意：这些地方叫做绿洲。根据原文的句子We call these places oases (绿洲). 我们称这些地方为绿洲。分析句子These places are _____2_____ oases.可知，句子中有are，因此后面的是一个过去分词形式，“被叫做……”用英语be called…来表达。语境是：这些地方叫做绿洲。故答案为：called。

【3】句意：这些动物对生活在沙漠中的人们很有用。根据原文的句子In the oases, there are villages and towns. People grow all kinds of crops in the fields there. 在绿洲，有村庄和城镇。人们在那里种各种各样的庄稼。可知，沙漠里有人居住。我们再分析句子The animals are useful to the people ____3____ in the desert.的结构可知，本题是用现在分词做定语，修饰the people，是指生活在沙漠里的人。住在某地用英语“live in +地点”表达。语境是：这些动物对生活在沙漠中的人们很有用。故答案为：living。

【4】句意：他们给人们提供肉和牛奶，帮助人们搬运东西。根据原文的句子They have camels, sheep and other animals. 他们有骆驼、绵羊和其他动物。和句子The desert people keep moving from one place to another. 沙漠中的人们不断地从一个地方迁移到另一个地方。可知，住在沙漠里的人，在从一个地方迁移到另一个地方的时候，可以用骆驼来帮助他们搬东西。因此本题填carry；help sb. do sth. 帮助某人做某事。语境是：他们给人们提供肉和牛奶，帮助人们搬运东西。故答案为：carry。

【5】句意：他们非常友好，决不会拒绝帮助任何有困难的人。句子They are so friendly that they would _____5_____ refuse to help anyone in trouble. 中有anyone，因此本题是一个否定句，在根据前面的friendly和后面的refuse to可知，填never。语境是：他们非常友好，决不会拒绝帮助任何有困难的人。故答案为：never。
