试题分析：
小题1:句意：他死于癌症。Be dying of死于，是一个固定短语，所以填写dying。
小题2:句意：在他最后的日子，他告诉你……。根据上句He is dying of cancer可知此句是说在他最后的日子里，他告诉你……，所以填写final。
小题3:句意：当我死的时候，务必让我的儿子上医学院。Make sure确保，务必，是一固定短语，所以填写sure。
小题4:句意：但他的儿子是一个花花公子，对上医学院没兴趣并且会在很短的时间内浪费那些钱。所以填写interest。
小题5:句意：但他的儿子是一个花花公子，对上医学院没兴趣并且会在很短的时间内浪费那些钱。所以填写waste。
小题6:句意：但你儿子上大学，他愿意成为一个医生。Be willing to乐意，愿意，所以填写willing。
小题7:句意：从著名的大学校长到普通士兵总统我都都问了这个问题。根据前面from可知这里填写to。
小题8:句意：它从未没有失去过一个讨论机会。所以填写failed。
小题9:句意：每个人都有自己的观点，大多数人不同，但他们都对。根据连词不同可推知本句是指大多数人观点不同但都正确，所以填写correct。
小题10:句意：有时这一话题要持续整个晚上。根据句意结合this one topic是单数第三人称可知填写lasts。
