【解析】

本文是记叙文，讲述了一位农民在赖以生存的奶牛死后，设法在农场种植草药、蔬菜、棉花等养活家人。奶牛的意外死去让他意识到了农场的潜力。

1.考查冠词。句意：他拥有一个农场，看起来几乎是废弃了的。此处用不定冠词a表示数量，意思为“一个”；farm的发音是以辅音音素开头，因此用不定冠词a。故填a。

2.考查副词。句意：幸运的是，他还有一头每天产奶的奶牛。修饰整个句子，应该用副词形式。故填Luckily。

3.考查固定短语。句意：他到附近城镇把一些牛奶卖掉，或者用牛奶来换取其他食物，并用剩下的牛奶为家人做奶酪和黄油。短语exchange…for…. “把……交换成……”。故填for。

4.考查时态和语态。句意：他到附近城镇把一些牛奶卖掉，或者用牛奶来换取其他食物，并用剩下的牛奶为家人做奶酪和黄油。分析句子结构，what后是宾语从句，what 和leave之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，因此用被动语态；全文是叙述过去的故事，因此用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was left。

5.考查从属连词。句意：一天，牛正在吃草，突然下起了大雨。句型be doing …when“正在做……这时”，when引导时间状语从句。故填when。

6.考查时态。句意：在拼命跑的时候，牛从山上摔下来死了。全文是叙述过去的故事，因此用一般过去时；fall是不规则变化动词，过去式为fell。故填fell。

7.考查介词。句意：这样一来，约翰逊一家就不得不在没有奶牛的情况下谋生了。根据上文语境，牛摔死了，应该是约翰逊一家没有奶牛了。故填without。

8.考查非谓语动词。句意：由于植物需要一段时间才能生长，他开始砍树卖木头。根据句意，此处是不定式作目的状语，意思为“为了……”。故填to sell。

9.考查定语从句。句意：当有了收获时，他已经开始在镇上的人们经常见面的市场上出售草药、蔬菜和棉花。分析句子结构，空后是定语从句，先行词the market在从句中作地点状语，应用where引导定语从句。故填where。

10.考查固定句式。句意：现在他突然想到，他的农场很有潜力，那头牛的死也是一种运气。

句型It occurs to sb. that…“某人突然想到”；所填词作to的宾语，因此用代词的宾格形式。故填him。
