【解析】

試題分析：本文介紹倫敦著名的醫(yī)生治“霍亂”疫病的故事。

【1】exposed 固定詞組：be exposed to遭受，暴露于……。此處是過(guò)去分詞作后置定語(yǔ)，故填exposed。

【2】which 此處cholera是先行詞，指物，在后面的非限制性定語(yǔ)從句中作主語(yǔ)，故填關(guān)系代詞which。

【3】an 這里表示“一次爆發(fā)”，outbreak以元音音素開(kāi)頭，故填an。

【4】be controlled 此處表示“霍亂被控制”，故填be controlled。

【5】possibly 副詞修飾動(dòng)詞，故填possibly。

【6】into 句意：這種病進(jìn)入到他們的身體。故填into。

【7】affected 這里表示“被感染的人”。過(guò)去分詞作前置定語(yǔ)，故填affected。

【8】but 句意：第二個(gè)證據(jù)是正確的，但他需要證據(jù)。故填but。

【9】enquiry 句意：他準(zhǔn)備開(kāi)始他的詢問(wèn)。此處用名詞作賓語(yǔ)，故填enquiry。

【10】to find 固定詞組：determine to do sth決定做某事，故填to find。

【知識(shí)拓展】

1.不定冠詞a 和an的用法。a用在以輔音音素開(kāi)頭的詞前，表示“一”；an用在以元音音素開(kāi)頭的詞前，表示“一”。比如小題1，university 這個(gè)詞以輔音開(kāi)頭，所以前面加a，表示一所大學(xué)。an important meeting 一個(gè)重要的會(huì)議；an interesting story 一個(gè)有趣的故事；an old man 一位老人；an hour 一小時(shí)；an honest boy 一個(gè)誠(chéng)實(shí)的男孩；an American lawyer一個(gè)美國(guó)的律師；a useful tool 一個(gè)有用的工具；a European friend一位歐洲的朋友。

2. 以e結(jié)尾的形容詞變成副詞時(shí)，有的直接加ly；有的把e去掉再加ly。

possible---possibly； simple---simply; gentle---gently; terrible---terribly; true---truly; flexible---flexibly

immediate--- immediately; brave---bravely; wise---wisely；active---actively
