答案：【解析】：這是一道閱讀理解判斷題，需要閱讀關(guān)于沙漠重要性的播客腳本，并根據(jù)腳本內(nèi)容判斷每個(gè)句子的真假或是否提及。題目考查的是對(duì)文章內(nèi)容的理解和判斷能力。
1. 第一個(gè)句子“The podcast host has visited several deserts.”在原文中沒有提及，因此答案為NM。
2. 第二個(gè)句子“About one fourth of the world’s land is covered by deserts.”與原文中“Deserts cover about one third of the planet’s land.”相矛盾，因此答案為F。
3. 第三個(gè)句子“Deserts make climate change much worse.”與原文中“Deserts can help slow down climate change and keep the planet’s temperature balanced.”相矛盾，因此答案為F。
4. 第四個(gè)句子“Deserts can help us understand the past.”與原文中“Deserts also have objects from ancient societies. In this way, deserts help us learn about the past.”相符，因此答案為T。
5. 第五個(gè)句子“Deserts could be an important source of energy in the future.”與原文中“Since deserts get so much sunlight, they could be a great place to get solar energy. Deserts could power our future!”相符，因此答案為T。
