【解析】

试题分析：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】for 考查固定搭配。短语exchange.... for....用...交换....；他到城里卖掉牛奶或把一些牛奶换成其他食物，用剩下的牛奶做奶酪或黄油。

【4】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。

【5】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。

【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】考查代词。本句是一个固定句型：sth occur to sb某人突然想起某事；本句中的it就是指文章的主人公Mr. Johnson。
