29、death of the cow was a bit of luck.解析文章大意：这篇短文讲述的是约翰逊先生一家人靠着农场里的奶牛维持生活，但是在一次意外中奶牛死了，约翰逊先生不得不想其他办法继续生活。他一边种药草和蔬菜，一边砍树去集上卖木头。故事说明：上帝在给他关上了一扇门的时候，又给他打开了一扇门。1句意：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，约翰逊先生和家人住在树林里，他拥有一个农场。故填a。2句意：幸运地，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，约翰逊先生的农场很破旧，都快要废弃了。但
30、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。这里用副词形式修饰整个句子。3句意：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，约翰逊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。4句意：他去附近的镇上卖牛奶，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，约翰逊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。5句意：一天，奶牛
31、正在吃草，这时突然下起大雨。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。6句意：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。7without除外，没有。根据文意可知，奶牛在慌忙躲雨的时候，不小心摔死了，因此约翰逊一家就没有了可供谋生的奶牛。故填without。8句意：因为这些植物需要花费时间来生长，约翰逊先生就开始砍树来卖木头。sell卖，销售。根据文意可知，约翰逊先生一边种植药草和蔬菜，一边砍树去卖掉木材。这里用动词不定式形式在句中作目的状语。9句意：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。10句意：现在看来，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，这是一个固定句型，因为这篇短文讲述的是约翰逊先生的故事，故填him。
