【解析】

试题分析：短文主要讲的是Mr. Watson的奶牛去世，自己挣钱谋生的故事。

【1】a 考查冠词。这里说的是有一个农场，故填a。

【2】deserted 考查形容词。结合上下文，但是农场是荒芜的，故填deserted。

【3】Fortunately 考查副词。结合下文可知，他是幸运的，放在句首要用副词，故填Fortunately。

【4】for 考查介词。exchange…for…意为“用某物换……”；结合句意，用牛奶换其它食物，故填for。

【5】was left 考查被动语态。剩下的牛奶与leave之间是被动关系，要用被动语态；主语是milk，be动词用was；故答案填was left。

【6】when 考查副词。这里说的是当下大雨的时候，故填when。

【7】without 考查介词。由前文的she fell over the hill and died. 可知，这里说的是没有了奶牛，他必须谋生，故填without。

【8】to sell 考查动词。砍树的目的是为了卖木材，要用动词不定式来表示，故填to sell。

【9】where 考查副词。该句是定语从句，先行词是market ，要用表示地点的关系副词，故填where。

【10】him 考查代词。to后跟人称代词的宾格形式，这里说的是Mr. Watson，故答案填him。
