Answer 1

【答案】a；Luckily；was left；when；making；fell；without；to sell；where；death
【解析】本文属于记叙文，讲述了Johnson赖以为生的奶牛摔死以后，他努力开发被人抛弃的农场的潜力得以生活下去的事情。

（1）a考查冠词。本句中使用不定冠词a，表示泛指。句意：他有一个农村，这个农场看上去好像是被抛弃的。

（2）Luckily 考查副词。根据后一句：他有一头奶牛，每天都产奶。这对他来说是一件很幸运的事情。所以本句中使用副词luckily作状语修饰整个句子。

（3）was left 考查时态语态。根据本文第一句可知本文叙述的是过去发生的事情，所以要使用一般过去时。同时根据句意可知他把剩下的牛奶做成奶酪和黄油。所以使用被动语态was left。

（4）when 考查固定句式。句式be doing sth when...作者做某事在这时发生了意料之外的事情。其中的when是一个并列连词。句意：有一天奶牛正在吃草在这时开始下起了大雨。

（5）making 考查省略句。当状语从句的主语和主句主语一致的时候，可以表示状语从句的主语和系动词一起省略，所以在while的后面省略了she was。

（6）fell 考查时态。本文叙述的是过去发生的事情，所以使用一般过去时。奶牛在跑的时候，摔下了山，死掉了。

（7）without 考查上下文串联。根据上句可知奶牛摔死了，所以他努力地在没有奶牛的情况下活下去。

（8）to sell 考查不定式用法。在高中英语中，常常使用不定式充当目的状语。本句表示他砍树来卖木材谋生。

（9）where 考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是the market，关系代词where引导定语从句，并在句中充当地点状语。

（10）death 考查名词。定冠词the的后面通常要接名词或者名词短语。句意：现在他想起来他的农场很有潜力，奶牛的死也算来了一件幸运的事。
