Living in the Taklamakan Desert brings daily challenges, from high temperatures to awful sandstorms. For those born and raised in this area, sports u 1 to be a dream. Now things are changing. When the 29th Farmers' and Herders' Games were held in Yutian County, Xinjiang in April, local athletes took part in competitions alongside the desert. Among them, a group of local women farmers s 2 like stars in the sky, and Aygul Metohi was one of them.
In the past, Aygul never i 3 playing sports with friends in her village. Villagers had no all - weather roads or mobile phone signals (信号). Visiting a neighbour often meant walking more than 10 kilometers across sandy hills. In 2019, the local g 4 helped the whole village move to a better living place as part of a poverty relief (脱贫) program. Now, the village has tidy rows of brick houses with electricity, natural gas, the Internet and green trees around. A new hospital and a primary school provide a high level of service for everyone in the village.
On the school playground, Aygul l 5 the village's first all - women Maire Ball team in their training period before the games. Maire Ball was listed as an intangible cultural heritage in 2021. With one s 6 from Aygul at her gate, teammates, also neighbours, gather (聚集) on the playground to practise. Three years ago, the newly formed team made everyone s 7 by winning the third place in the women's Maire Ball competition at the 26th County Games.
Beyond a 8, the sport has also helped form a fresh relationship. After matches, players share farm work, ride into town, and exchange gifts bought online. Encouraged by Aygul's team, younger women in the village now ask h 9 they can play the sport.
“On the field, we move as one; off it, we are sisters.” Aygul said, “Life here can grow richer only by working c 10 with each other.” In a place which was lonely in the past, playing sports is developing communication and new chances among the moving sands.

五、【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了生活在塔克拉玛干沙漠地区的人们，曾经因环境恶劣而使体育运动成为奢望，随着脱贫计划推进，阿依古丽带领村里女子麦热球队伍参与比赛并取得成绩，这项运动在沙漠中创造了交流和新机遇。
1. used 根据下文“Now things are changing.”和“In the past, Aygul never i 3 playing sports with friends in her village.”可知过去阿依古丽从未想过能在村里做体育运动，现在情况正在发生变化，由此可知体育运动过去曾是一个梦想；used to be表示“过去曾经是”。故填used。
2. shone/seemed 根据空后“like stars in the sky”可知女农民在农牧民运动会中表现出色，如同星星闪耀，或理解为仿佛是天空中的繁星；根据空后“was”可知句子时态是一般过去时。故填shone/seemed。
3. imagined 根据下文“Villagers had no all - weather roads or mobile phone signals.”可知由于环境恶劣，阿依古丽从未想象过能和朋友在村里做体育运动；imagine doing sth.表示“想象做某事”，根据“In the past”可知句子时态是一般过去时。故填imagined。

6. shout 根据空后“from Aygul at her gate, teammates, also neighbours, gather on the playground to practise”可知阿依古丽喊一声，队友们会聚集在操场上训练。故填shout。
7. surprised 根据空后“winning the third place”可知新组建的队伍获得季军会让人感到惊讶。故填surprised。
8. awards 根据上文“the newly formed team made everyone s 7 by winning the third place in the women's Maire Ball competition at the 26th County Games”可知新组建的队伍在于田县第26届少数民族传统体育运动会女子麦热球比赛中获得季军，此处指除了奖项之外，还有其他意义。故填awards。
9. how 根据空后“they can play the sport”可知此处询问方式，如何能参与运动。故填how。
10. closely 根据下文“playing sports is developing communication and new chances among the moving sands”可知运动正在发展交流和新的机会，由此可知需要彼此紧密合作；修饰空前动词“working”，应用副词。故填closely。
