【分析】
这是一篇基于《农夫与蛇》故事的阅读理解题，分为判断正误和补全句子两类题型。解题思路如下：
1. 对于判断题，先逐个阅读题目，然后回到原文中定位对应的句子，对比题目表述和原文内容是否一致，一致则为T，不一致则为F。
2. 对于补全句子题，同样需要根据句子的描述，在原文中找到相关的语句，提取缺失的词汇进行填写。
【解析】
一、Read and judge.
1. 定位原文句子“It was nearly dead.”，题目表述和原文一致，所以填T。
2. 定位原文句子“it raised its head and tried to bite the farmer”，可知蛇想要咬农夫，并非感谢农夫，题目表述错误，所以填F。
3. 定位原文最后一句“Then he killed the snake with a stick.”，可知农夫最后杀死了蛇，题目表述正确，所以填T。
二、Read and fill.
1. 根据原文“A farmer found a snake on the ground.”，可知缺失的词汇是snake。
2. 根据原文“He brought it carefully to his house and put it near the fire.”，可知缺失的词汇依次是house和fire。
3. 根据原文“it raised its head and tried to bite the farmer”，可知缺失的词汇依次是head和bite。
