【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文中介绍了约翰斯诺打败霍乱王的故事。

【1】考查固定句型。句意：他是那样的出名，以至于他去照顾维多利亚女王。so…that太…以至于，该句型是固定句型，所以填So。

【2】考查形容词。该空修饰名词disease，用形容词，表示“致命的疾病”，所以填deadly。

【3】考查常用结构。thousands of people 与expose之间是被动关系，所以用see sth. / sb. done 表示“看见某人或某物处于某种状态”，所以填exposed。

【4】考查宾语从句。句意：他在地图上标记出去世的病人居住过的地方。___4___ all the dead people ___5___（live）作动词marked的宾语，所以___4___ all the dead people ___5___（live）是一个宾语从句。引导词在从句中作地点状语，所以填where。

【5】考查宾语从句的时态。主句的谓语动词marked用的一般过去时，宾语从句中的动作发生在“过去的过去”，用过去完成时，所以填had lived。

【6】考查冠词。句意：他发现许多喝了从这个井里取出的脏水的人死亡了。特指“这些脏水”，用定冠词the。

【7】考查常用结构。“水”和“递送”之间是被动关系，所以用have sth. done结构，所以填delivered。

【8】考查句意理解。句意：随着更多证据的出现，约翰·斯诺宣布被污水的水应该受到责备。文中表示“随着…”，所以填With。

【9】考查固定用法。句意：随着更多证据的出现，约翰·斯诺宣布被污水的水应该受到责备。be to blame该受责备，应承担责任，该用法是固定用法，所以填to blame。

【10】考查v+ing。句中of是介词，介词后用v+ing形式，所以填dealing。
