【解析】

本文是说明文，介绍了山羊给我们带来的种种好处，是我们最好的朋友。

1.

考查连词。句意：人们说狗是人类最好的朋友，但山羊也很重要。空前一句说“人们说狗是人类最好的朋友”，空后一句说“山羊也很重要”，两个句子之间是语义上的转折，应用but 表示转折关系。故填but。

2.

考查时态。句意：事实上，人们养山羊已经有几千年的历史了——比我们养狗的时间还长。“for+一段时间”常和现在完成时连用；根据时间状语for thousands of years可知应用现在完成时；keep是不规则变化动词，过去分词为kept；句子主语是people，谓语动词应用复数形式。故填have kept。

3.

考查介词。句意：山羊在很多方面对我们都很有用。根据句意，此处是短语 in …way“在……方面”。故填in。

4.

考查过去分词。句意：一种由山羊毛制成的羊毛叫做开司米。分析句子结构，“____ from goat hair”在句中是定语，one kind of wool和make之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，因此用过去分词作后置定语；make是不规则变化动词，过去分词为made。故填made。

5.

考查形容词比较级。句意：你知道世界上喝羊奶的人比喝牛奶的人多吗?。than常和形容词/副词比较级连用，因此many应用比较级形式more。故填more。

6.

考查不定式。句意：羊奶对婴儿来说更容易喝。此处是“be+形容词+不定式”结构，其中不定式需用主动形式表示被动意义。故填to drink。

7.

考查定语从句。句意：有些人把山羊奶涂在皮肤上，这样可以保持皮肤柔软。分析句子结构，“_____ can keep it soft”是非限制性定语从句，先行词goat’s milk在从句中作主语，指物，应用which引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。

8.

考查从属连词。句意：在饲养大量山羊的地方，人们吃山羊肉而不是牛肉或猪肉。根据句意，此处用where引导地点状语从句，意思为“……地方”。故填Where。

9.

考查可数名词单复数。句意：我们也用山羊皮做手套和靴子。此处and是并列连词，连接两个并列的结构；根据boots可知，glove应该用复数形式。故填gloves。

10.

考查介词。句意：有了山羊给予我们的这一切，我们可以说山羊是我们最好的朋友。根据句意，此处用介词with表示“具有”。故填With。
