解答 16 a 考查冠词.句意为:他拥有一个农场,这个农场看起来都快废弃了.a 是不定冠词,表示泛指一个…,修饰可数名词单数.根据文意可知,Johnson先生和家人住在树林里,他拥有一个农场.故填a.
17 Luckily 考查副词. 幸运的是,他还有一头奶牛,每天都能产奶.luckily副词,幸运的是.根据文意可知,Johnson先生的农场很破旧,都快要废弃了.但是还有奶牛每天都产奶,能让他维持生存,所以这是一件幸运的事.所以填Luckily.
18 for 考查介词搭配.根据上下文可知:他去附近的镇里卖牛奶,或是用牛奶来换其他的食物.本句话中exchange 的意思是"交换",根据句意可知,Johnson先生用牛奶来换其他的食物.这里是用短语exchange…for…,故填介词for.
19 was left 考查时态语态. 他去附近的镇里卖牛奶,或是用牛奶来换其他的食物,用剩下的牛奶制作奶酪和黄油.leave离开;剩下,留下.根据文意可知,Johnson先生一家靠农场里的奶牛产奶来生活.除去卖掉的和换其他食物的牛奶,剩下的他就用来制作奶酪和黄油.这里what was left是一个宾语从句,根据句意可知用被动语态.
20 when 考查连词.句意:一天,奶牛正在吃草,这时突然开始下起大雨.when是并列连词,意思是正在这时.这句话使用的句型是be doing sth.when…,正在做某事这时….
21 fell 考查动词时态. 在慌忙逃跑的时候,奶牛摔下了山死了.fall摔倒,掉下来,根据文意可知,这篇短文使用的是一般过去时态,故这里填过去式fell.
22 without 考查介词. 奶牛死了,Johnson先生不得不继续生活.with和…一起.根据文意可知,牛奶在慌忙躲雨的时候,不小心摔死了,因此Johnson先生就不得不没有了奶牛来生活.故填without.
23 to sell 考查非谓语动词.句意为:因为这些药草和蔬菜需要花费时间来生长,Johnson先生就开始砍树来卖木头.sell卖,销售.根据文意可知,Johnson先生一边种植药草和蔬菜,一边砍树去卖掉木柴.这里用动词不定式形式在句中做目的状语.
24 where 考查关系副词.丰收的时候,他已经在人们定期赶集的市场上去卖药草、蔬菜和棉花了.where 在这里引导的是一个定语从句,修饰先行词the market,从句中不缺主语、宾语和表语,所以用关系副词where.
25 him 考查人称代词.现在看来好像他的农场是非常有潜能的,奶牛的死也似乎给他带来了好运气.It occurred to sb.that…某人突然发现…,这是一个固定的句型,因为这篇短文讲述的是Johnson先生,故填him.
