【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文講述的是Johnson先生一家人靠著農(nóng)場里的奶牛維持生活，但是一次意

外奶牛死了，Johnson先生不得不想其他辦法繼續(xù)生活。他一邊種藥草和蔬菜，一邊砍樹去

集上賣木頭。上帝在給他關(guān)上了一扇門的時(shí)候，又給他打開了一扇門。

16.句意：他擁有一個(gè)農(nóng)場，這個(gè)農(nóng)場看起來都快廢棄了。a是不定冠詞，表示泛指一個(gè)…，

修飾可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)。根據(jù)文意可知，Johnson先生和家人住在樹林里，他擁有一個(gè)農(nóng)場。故

填a。

17.句意:幸運(yùn)的是，他還有一頭奶牛，每天都能產(chǎn)奶。luckily副詞，幸運(yùn)的是。根據(jù)文意

可知，Johnson先生的農(nóng)場很破舊，都快要廢棄了。但是還有奶牛每天都產(chǎn)奶，能讓他維持

生存，所以這是一件幸運(yùn)的事。這里用副詞形式修飾整個(gè)句子

18.句意：他去附近的鎮(zhèn)里賣牛奶，或是用牛奶來換其他的食物。本句話中exchange的意

思是交換，根據(jù)句意可知，Johnson先生用牛奶來換其他的食物。這里是用短語

exchange...for...,故填介詞for。

19.句意：他去附近的鎮(zhèn)里賣牛奶，或是用牛奶來換其他的食物，用剩下的牛奶制作奶酪和

黃油。leave離開；剩下，留下。根據(jù)文意可知，Johnson先生一家靠農(nóng)場里的奶牛產(chǎn)奶來生

活。除去賣掉的和換其他食物的牛奶，剩下的他就用來制作奶酪和黃油。這里whatwasleft

是一個(gè)賓語從句，根據(jù)句意可知用被動(dòng)語態(tài)。

20.句意：一天，奶牛正在吃草，這時(shí)突然開始下起大雨。when是并列連詞，意思是正在

這時(shí)。這句話使用的句型是bedoingsth.when...,正在做某事這時(shí)…。

21.句意：在慌忙逃跑的時(shí)候，奶牛摔下了山死了。fall摔倒，掉下來，根據(jù)文意可知，這

篇短文使用的是一般過去時(shí)態(tài)，故這里填過去式felL

22.句意：牛奶死了,Johnson先生不得不繼續(xù)生活。with和…一起。根據(jù)文意可知,牛奶

在慌忙躲雨的時(shí)候，不小心摔死了，因此Johnson先生就不得不沒有了奶牛來生活。故填

without?

23.句意:因?yàn)檫@些藥草和蔬菜需要花費(fèi)時(shí)間來生長，Johnson先生就開始砍樹來賣木頭。

sell賣，銷售。根據(jù)文意可知，Johnson先生一邊種植藥草和蔬菜，一邊砍樹去賣掉木柴。

這里用動(dòng)詞不定式形式在句中做目的狀語。

24.句意：豐收的時(shí)候，他已經(jīng)在人們定期趕集的市場上去賣藥草、蔬菜和棉花了。where在

這里引導(dǎo)的是一個(gè)定語從句，修飾先行詞themarket。

25.句意：現(xiàn)在看來好像他的農(nóng)場是非常有潛能的，奶牛的死也似乎給他帶來了好運(yùn)氣。It

occurredtosb.that…某人突然發(fā)現(xiàn)…，這是一個(gè)固定的句型，因?yàn)檫@篇短文講述的是Johnson

先生，故填him。
