【解析】

试题分析：通过本文考查了学生对一些英语语法的理解和应用。如固定搭配，谓语和非谓语动词的用法，形容词和副词的区别，冠词的用法等。

1.Luckily 考查副词。用副词作状语修饰全句。

2.producing 考查非谓语动词，have something doing 让….一直发生。用producing做宾语补足语。

3.was left 考查一般过去时的被动语态。with后是宾语从句，what是主语，和leave是被动关系，全文是一般过去时，这里应该保持一致，所以用was left。

4.when 考查固定搭配。 be doing when…意思是：某事正在发生这时… 。所以填when。

5.efforts 考查固定搭配。make great efforts to do意思是：努力去做……。

6.fell 考查动词的过去式。全文是一般过去时，这里应该保持一致，所以用动词的过去式fell。

7.a 考查固定搭配。make a living 谋生。

8.to sell 考查动词不定式做状语。 他砍树的目的是卖木头。

9.where 考查地点状语的关系词。where引导的从句在这里做状语，意思是：在…….的地方。

10.it考查代词。It occurred to him that…他突然想到…。

考点：语篇理解以及语法知识。
