　　2. D。推理判斷題。推斷詞義。根據文章最后一句No man in the desert would ever refuse to give a stranger food and water由沙漠里沒有人會拒絕給一個陌生人飯和水，可推斷他們是很友好的(hospitable)，故答案為D。

　　3. C。推理判斷題。根據第1段最后一句There is little rain in the desert, but it does fall often enough for most plants可知沙漠有少量降水，但并不充足。故答案為C。

　　4. C。推理判斷題。根據第2段第2句People also live outside oases(綠洲)和第3段中they trade their skins and their goats and camel hairs with the people of oases for wheat and fruit 可知人們有住在綠洲內的，也有住在綠洲外的。故答案為C。

　　5. A。推理判斷題。根據第3段The people of the desert have to move constantly from place to place可知沙漠人住得不穩定；They usually live in tents住得不舒服；When there is no more food for their animals食物不充足。由此可推斷沙漠生活的艱難。故答案為A。
