解析

【分析】
首先通读全文,了解文章围绕撒哈拉沙漠的地理特征、过去的生活状况、资源开发及如今的保护措施展开。解题时需结合语境、语法规则和固定搭配逐一分析每个空:
1. 第15空:主语it指代撒哈拉沙漠,是第三人称单数,描述客观事实用一般现在时,动词需用第三人称单数形式;
2. 第16空:考查固定句型“It's + adj. + to do sth.”,表示“做某事是……的”,所以填动词不定式;
3. 第17空:once表示“曾经”,是一般过去时的标志词,动词要用过去式;
4. 第18空:“one of + the + 形容词最高级 + 可数名词复数”是固定结构,表示“最……之一”,所以填形容词最高级形式;
5. 第19空:考查固定搭配“sell sth. to sb.”,表示“把某物卖给某人”;
6. 第20空:前文提到人们有钱建道路和房屋,后文说生活条件仍艰苦,前后是转折关系,需用转折连词;
7. 第21空:even用来修饰形容词比较级,且句中有than,提示用bad的比较级;
8. 第22空:定冠词the后接名词,需将形容词important转换为名词形式;
9. 第23空:考查固定短语“as a result”,表示“结果”;
10. 第24空:remind是及物动词,后面接人称代词的宾格形式作宾语。
【解析】
15. covers:主语it是第三人称单数,描述客观事实用一般现在时,故cover变为第三人称单数形式covers;
16. to grow:固定句型“It's hard to do sth.”,表示“做某事很困难”,此处填动词不定式to grow;
17. reached:once“曾经”是一般过去时的标志,故reach用过去式reached;
18. the richest:“one of + the + 形容词最高级”表示“最……之一”,rich的最高级是richest,前面加定冠词the;
19. to:固定搭配“sell sth. to sb.”,表示“把某物卖给其他国家”,填介词to;
20. But:前文提到生活有改善,后文说仍艰苦,表转折,用连词But(句首首字母大写);
21. worse:even修饰比较级,且than提示用比较级,bad的比较级是worse;
22. importance:定冠词the后接名词,important的名词形式是importance;
23. a:固定短语“as a result”,意为“结果”,填不定冠词a;
24. us:remind是动词,后接人称代词宾格,we的宾格是us。
