【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了一个人在沙漠里迷路了两天，在极度干渴的时候发现了一口水泵，但是水泵需要加一壶水进去才会出水，这个人犹豫了，但是他还是按照纸条上所说的将水倒进了水泵，然后他真的打出了水。最后他在纸条上加上“相信我，照着纸条上的做”。

1.句意：他渴望喝水，却在沙漠中发现了一所空房子。

根据“There was a water pump (水泵）in the house!”可知他在沙漠里发现了一座房子，发现的英语表达可用find和see，且这是过去时态，故将find和see改为found和saw。故填 found/saw。

2.句意：但是不管他怎么努力，水还是出不来。

根据“But no matter how…he tried, no water came out.”的语境可知无论他怎么努力，都没有水出来，且横线处是修饰动词tried，故用副词hard努力地。故填hard。

3.句意：瓶子上有一张旧纸条，上面写着：“你必须先把水倒入泵中，才能取水。”

根据“He sat sadly on the ground when he saw a little bottle with a cork（软木塞）in it.”可知是说他看到地那个瓶子上贴着纸条。故填bottle。

4.句意：男人拿出软木塞，高兴地发现瓶子里装满了水。

根据“The man took the cork out and happily found the bottle was full ____4____ water!”可知考查词组be full of意为充满。故填of。

5.句意：“如果我自私，只要我喝了水，我就能活着走出这个房间，”他想“如果我照纸条上说的做，我可能会渴死。”

根据“If I do as the note says, I might die of thirst (口渴)”可知如果他照着纸条上的做法，他可能就会渴死，相反的，如果他把水喝了就会活着走出这个房子，我们可用alive作后置定语，表示活着走出房子。故填alive。

6.句意：最后，他决定照纸条上说的去做，并开始打水。

根据“he decided to do as the note said 和began to draw water.”可知前后句是顺承关系，可用and来表达。故填and。

7.句意：真是个大惊喜！

根据句子结构可知这是一个感叹句，感叹句句型：What + a / an + 形容词 + 名词 + 主语 + 谓语! 故填What。

8.句意：“相信我，照纸条上说的做”他写道。

根据文章可知这个人最开始是怀疑纸条上写的，但是他还是照做了，最后他得到了大量的水，因此为了让下一个人相信纸条上的字，他写上的应该是相信我，要按纸条上的去做，因此可以填相信的英语表达believe和trust，且位于句首，首字母大写。故填Believe/Trust。
