【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文。Mr. Johnson拥有一个几乎废弃的农场，靠一头奶牛谋生。一大雨奶牛摔死，约翰逊开始种植草药和蔬菜。当收获来临的时候，他突然想到，他的农场有很大的潜力。

【1】考查不定冠词。句意：他拥有一个农场，它看起来几乎快要废弃了。结合句意可知答案为a。

【2】考查副词。副词修饰整个句子，故答案为Luckily。

【3】考查一般过去时态的被动语态。句意：他在附近的城镇出售或交换了一些牛奶，以获得其他食物，并用剩下的为家里做了奶酪和黄油。With后面是what引导的宾语从句；what指的是milk（不可数名词），在宾语从句中充当主语，和leave（剩下）之间是被动关系，所以此处用一般过去时态的被动语态，故答案为was left。

【4】考查固定句式。句意：一天，奶牛正在吃草，这时候天开始下大雨。was/were doing sth.---when---，正在做某事，这时候---，故答案为when。

【5】考查现在分词做状语。句意：她在努力逃跑的时候，倒在了山上，死了。此处she和make之间是主动关系，这里是现在分词做时间状语，故答案为making。

【6】考查介词。句意：然后，约翰逊试图在没有奶牛的情况下谋生。结合句意答案为without。

【7】考查时态。句意：约翰逊开始种植草药和蔬菜。根据整篇文章可知句子用一般过去时态，故答案为began。

【8】考查动词不定式。句意：由于这些植物生长需要花费一段时间，他开始砍伐树木来卖木材。此处是动词不定式做目的状语，故答案为to sell。

【9】考查定语从句。句意：当收获来临的时候，他已经在镇上的人经常见面的市场上卖草药、蔬菜和棉花。此处the market是先行词，分析句子结构，the market在后面的定语从句中做地点状语，故答案为where。

【10】考查人称代词。句意：现在他突然想到，他的农场有很大的潜力，而牛的死也是有点运气。固定句式：It occurred to sb. that---，某人突然想起，故答案为him。
