【解析】

本文为记叙文。文章叙述Johnson一家靠着农场里的奶牛生活，但是一次意外奶牛死了，他不得不想其他办法继续生活。于是一边种草药和蔬菜，一边砍树去集上卖木头。现在他突然发现他的农场非常有潜力的。

1.考查副词。句意：幸运的是，他还养了一头牛，每天产奶。分析句子可知，空格处在句中修饰整个句子，修饰整个句子应用副词形式，故填 Luckily。

2.考查介词。句意：他去附近的城镇卖掉一些牛奶或用牛奶换成其他食物。“exchange…for…”是固定搭配，意为 “用……交换…”，根据语境可知，Johnson用牛奶来换其他的食物，这里用“exahange...for...”,故填介词for。

3.考查动词的时态和语态。句意：用剩下的牛奶给家里做奶酪和黄油。句中的with是介词， what ___3___(leave)是介词with的宾语从句，宾语从句的主语what与 动词leave是被动关系，故用被动语态。根据语境可知，此处用一般过去时，本空格用一般过去时的被动语态，故填was left。

4.考查连词。句意：有一天，牛正在吃草，这时突然天开始下大雨。“was/were doing...when...”为固定句式，意思为“正在......这时突然......”。根据语境可知，此处应用“when”，故填when。

5.考查非谓语动词作状语。句意：当奶牛拼命逃跑时，从山上摔了下来，死了。本句中没有连词，可知，空格处是非谓语，其逻辑主语是the cow，它与动词make是主动关系，要用动词的ing形式，故填making。

6.考查冠词。句意：后来，约翰逊一家试图在没有奶牛的情况下谋生。“make a living”为固定搭配，意为“谋生”。故填a。

7.考查名词。句意：由于植物需要一段时间才能生长，他开始砍伐树木来出售木材。此处联系上文的herbs and vegetables，是指草药和蔬菜，此处的植物（草药和蔬菜）很多，要用名词复数。故填plants。

8.考查非谓语动词。句意：由于植物需要一段时间才能生长，他开始砍伐树木来出售木材。根据语境可知，此处应用动词不定式作目的状语。 表示砍树的目的就是卖木材，故填 to sell。

9.考查定语从句。句意：当丰收来临时，他已经在镇上的集市上卖草药、蔬菜和棉花。分析句子可知，本句为定语从句。其中先行词为 market，定语从句中关系词在从句中充当地点状语，用 where。故填where。

10.考查代词。句意：现在他突然发现他的农场非常有潜力的，奶牛的死也似乎给他带来了好运气。“某人突然想起……”。根据空后的“his farm”，应填him, 指代Mr. Johnson。故填him。
