【解析】

本文为记叙文，文章主要介绍了John Snow 如何战胜霍乱的故事。

1.考查时态。此句表示他如此出名，以至于曾经护理过维多利亚女王。根据结果状语的attended 可知是一般过去时，根据主语he 可确定用was。

2.考查名词单复数。根据语境可知此处表示减轻她生孩子的痛苦，根据语境可知不是一个孩子，所以用babies。

3.考查形容词，此处修饰disease，要用形容词，deadly表示致命的。

4.考查定语从句。先行词为time，表示那时他看到很多人死于霍乱。从句缺时间状语，用关系副词when。

5.考查固定短语。暴露于用expose。。。to，此处做定语修饰people。

6.考查冠词，此处特指那些死去的人都生活在这里，所以用the。

7.考查定语从句的连词。此处为定语从句，先行词为people，从句缺主语，所以用关系代词who/that。

8.考查过去分词作定语，此处表示污染了的水，所以用polluted，作定语修饰water。

9.考查现在分词作宾语。After 为介词，后加doing。

10.考查被动语态。此处表示水源应该被检查，所以用be examined。
