【分析】首先通读对话，理解对话围绕恶劣天气（沙尘暴）带来的灾害及应对措施展开。再逐个分析每个空的语境，结合方框内单词的词义、词性，选择合适的词并调整形式（若需要）：第1空对应恶劣天气，选sandstorm；第2空是被破坏的事物，选farmland；第3空需表达“短缺”，用short的名词形式shortage，构成固定搭配a shortage of；第4空问帮助的主体，选government；第5空与food并列，选名词support；第6空在won't后接动词原形，选bring about。
【解析】1. 根据前文“bad weather”，此处指“沙尘暴”，故填sandstorm；2. 沙尘暴破坏的是“农田”，farmland为不可数名词，故填farmland；3. 固定搭配a shortage of表示“……的短缺”，short是形容词，此处需名词，故填shortage；4. 询问提供帮助的主体，应为“政府”，故填government；5. 与food并列，指提供的物资，此处用名词support，故填support；6. won't后接动词原形，bring about表示“导致”，符合语境，故填bring about。
【答案】1. sandstorm 2. farmland 3. shortage 4. government 5. support 6. bring about
【知识点】单词适当形式填空；名词词义辨析；动词短语
