解析：
本题考查选词填空，需结合语境、固定搭配和词形变换完成填空：
1. 第一空：固定搭配want to do sth. 意为“想要做某事”，结合语境“人们从来不想住在那里”，将live变为不定式形式to live。
2. 第二空：固定短语all over the world 意为“世界各地”，作介词from的宾语，指代来自全球的科学家，直接用原形。
3. 第三空：some后接可数名词复数，此处指代身份，将名词science变为表职业的scientist的复数形式scientists，意为“科学家们”。
4. 第四空：后文是前文“他们通常不会在那里待超过六个月”的原因，用连词because引导原因状语从句。
5. 第五空：用形容词fine修饰名词weather，fine weather意为“晴朗无风的好天气”，符合后文没有风的语境。
6. 第六空：此处修饰“得知那里并不潮湿”这件事，将interested变为描述事物属性的interesting，作表语，表达“有趣的”。
7. 第七空：固定搭配just like 意为“就像”，符合“南极气候干燥，就像撒哈拉沙漠一样”的语境。
8. 第八空：固定短语thousands of 意为“数以千计的”，修饰后面的kilometres，表达南极周边海面结冰的范围很广。
9. 第九空：“get + 形容词比较级”是固定结构，意为“变得更……”，结合语境地球正在变暖，将warm变为比较级warmer。
