【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是Johnson先生一家人靠着农场里的奶牛维持生活，但是一次意外奶牛死了，Johnson先生不得不想其他办法继续生活。他一边种药草和蔬菜，一边砍树去集上卖木头。上帝在给他关上了一扇门的时候，又给他打开了一扇门。

【1】a 句意：他拥有一个农场，这个农场看起来都快废弃了。a是不定冠词，表示泛指一个……，修饰可数名词单数。根据文意可知，Johnson先生和家人住在树林里，他拥有一个农场。故填a。

【2】Luckily 句意：幸运的是，他还有一头奶牛，每天都能产奶。luckily副词，修饰整个句子。

【3】for 句意：他去附近的镇里卖牛奶，或是用牛奶来换其他的食物。本句话中exchange 的意思是“交换”，根据句意可知，Johnson先生用牛奶来换其他的食物。这里是用短语exchange…for…，故填介词for。

【4】was left 句意：他去附近的镇里卖牛奶，或是用牛奶来换其他的食物，用剩下的牛奶制作奶酪和黄油。leave离开；剩下，留下。根据文意可知，Johnson先生一家靠农场里的奶牛产奶来生活。除去卖掉的和换其他食物的牛奶，剩下的他就用来制作奶酪和黄油。这里what was left是一个宾语从句，根据句意可知用被动语态。

【5】when 句意：一天，奶牛正在吃草，这时突然开始下起大雨。when是并列连词，意思是“正在这时”。这句话使用的句型是be doing sth. when...，表示“正在做某事这时……”。

【6】fell 句意：在慌忙逃跑的时候，奶牛摔下了山死了。fall意为“摔倒，掉下来”，根据文意可知，这篇短文使用的是一般过去时态，故这里填过去式fell。

【7】without 句意：奶牛死了，Johnson先生不得不在没有奶牛的情况下继续生活。with和…一起。根据文意可知，牛奶在慌忙躲雨的时候，不小心摔死了，因此Johnson先生就不得不没有了奶牛来生活。故填without。

【8】to sell 句意：因为这些药草和蔬菜需要花费时间来生长，Johnson先生就开始砍树来卖木头。sell意为“卖，销售”。这里用动词不定式形式在句中作目的状语。

【9】where 句意：丰收的时候，他已经在人们定期赶集的市场上去卖药草、蔬菜和棉花了。where在这里引导的是一个定语从句，在从句中作状语，修饰先行词the market。

【10】him 句意：现在看来好像他的农场是非常有潜能的，奶牛的死也似乎给他带来了好运气。It occurred to sb. that...表示“某人突然想起……”，这是一个固定的句型，因为这篇短文讲述的是Johnson先生，故填him。

【知识归纳】

It suddenly occurred to sb. that...，某人突然想起……；It suddenly struck sb. that...表示“某人突然感到……”.

It occurred to me that I had met him somewhere. 我突然想起在什么地方见过他。

【知识拓展】

while,when,as的用法区别

都译为“当…的时候”,区别为：when后的从句谓语动词既可是延续性动词,也可是短暂性动词,而且还可作并列连词,译为“这时”.但以下句型一定用when,作并列连词：

句型A：be about to do…when…正要做…这时(发生另一事)

句型B：was/were doing…when…正在…这时(发生另一事)

句型C：had done…when…刚做完…这时(发生另一事)

1.We were about to set out when it began to rain.我们刚要出发天突然下雨了.

2.He had hardly sat down when his mobile rang.他刚一坐下手机就响了.

3.I was walking along the bank of the river when I fell into it.我正沿河岸散步突然掉进水里.

while后的从句谓语动词只能是延续性动词,强调主从句的两个动词同时发生；while也可作并列连词,表示两个动作的对比,译为“而”“然而”.as则表示两个变化中的动作的同时性,译为“一边…一边…”.

1.While his mother was cooking in the kitchen,the boy fell asleep in the chair.(在一个延续动作过程中发生另一个动作)

2.He hurried home,looking behind as he went.他匆匆回家,边走边往后看.
