parch

数月无雨使河床干涸破裂，如同碎裂的陶器。

Months without rain had ___parched the riverbed until it cracked like pottery.

沙漠的风让她下车几分钟嘴唇就干裂了。

The desert wind ___parched her lips within minutes of leaving the car.

连年酷暑使曾经肥沃的农田干涸成了一片荒芜之地。

Years of scorching summers ___parched the once fertile farmland into a barren wasteland.
