解答 61.a 62.luckily 63.for 64.was left 65.when
66.fell 67.without 68.to sell 69.where 70.him
61.a 考查冠词.farm意为"农场",是可数名词,其前加不定冠词a,表示泛指.
62.luckily 考查副词.副词形式修饰整个句子,lucky的副词是luckily.
63.for 考查介词.exchange…for…意为"用…换…",是固定搭配.
64.was left 考查动词时态和语态.what与leave之间为动宾关系,what was left是一个宾语从句,根据句意可知用被动语态.
65.when 考查连词.was doing…when…意为"正在做某事时,突然…",when是并列连词,意为"这时".
66.fell 考查动词时态.and是并列连词,它前后连接两个相同的语法成分,此处与died并列,指动作先后发生,都要用一般过去时态.
67.without 考查介词.根据文意可知,奶牛在慌忙躲雨的时候,不小心摔死了,因此Johnson先生就不得不在没有了奶牛情况下生活.
68.to sell 考查动词不定式.他砍树的目的是卖木材,用动词不定式to sell作目的状语.
69.where 考查定语从句.分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句,先行词the market表示地点,用关系副词where.
70.him 考查代词.It occurred to sb.that…某人突然发现…,是固定的句型,因为这篇短文讲述的是Johnson先生,故填him.
