【解析】

试题分析：

【1】考查名词。根据下文He found that it came from the river可知，他想知道的是水的来源。故填source,意为来源，起源。

【2】考查定语从句连接词。本句为非限制性定语从句。横线处所需要的连接词要代指上文出现的river,满足这一条件的是 which.句意为：他发现水来自于河流，而河流却被来自伦敦的脏水所污染了。

【3】考查动词。通过下文so it could not be used可知泵无法使用。那么，只有把把手给卸下来才能达到这个效果。故选用单词：remove，意为去除，拿走。

【4】考查动词短语。根据前文John Snow知道霍乱是由水引起的，故他要求不许喝水，那么，疾病的爆发自然会减慢下来。故填down，构成短语：slow down，意为减慢，减缓。

【5】考查固定搭配。本句考查固定搭配：in addition，意为：除此之外。句意为：除此之外，他还在伦敦的另外一个地方发现了另两起死亡案例。

【6】考查动词。根据所给中文可知所填词为die，再根据上下文的时态，可知需要用died。句意为：在喝水之后死于霍乱。

【7】考查名词。根据所给中文可知填evidence。句意为：有了这个新的证据，John Snow最终很确定地宣称被污染的水里携带了疾病。

【8】考查动词。根据下文John Snow suggested that all water supplies be examined可知他建议水供应要检查，而上文也说到正是水污染导致了疾病。结合这两点可知，John Snow这样做是为了防止这一切再次发生，故填prevent，构成短语：prevent …from doing sth. 意为：阻止某人做某事。

【9】考查动词。根据所给中文可知填deal，再根据介词之后出现动词用ving形式，可知需要填dealing。

【10】考查动词。根据对整篇文章的理解可知，这篇文章主要讲的是John Snow知道了霍乱的形成以及找到了治疗的方法，故可以理解为：霍乱王被击败了。根据句意，填defeated，表示被击败。
