【解析】

试题分析：

【1】the 考查冠词。这种疾病是特指前面的cholera，故要加定冠词the。

【2】cure 考查名词。这里说的是不知道这种病的原因和疗法，故填cure。

【3】challenge 考查名词。由前文可知，这里说的是John Snow决定面对这个挑战，故填challenge。

【4】When 考查副词。该句是时间状语从句，根据句意，当霍乱在1854年又一次袭击伦敦的时候，答案填When。

【5】marking 考查动词。这句话中已经有了谓语动词gathered and made，这里要用非谓语动词，故填marking。

【6】blame 考查动词。根据句意，应该归咎于水，故填blame。

【7】With 考查介词。With表示伴随，结合句意，有了充足的证据，答案填With。

【8】happening 考查动词短语。Prevent…from…doing意为“阻止做某事”；结合句意，阻止这种事情再次发生，答案填happening。

【9】be examined 考查动词。这里考查固定结构Suggest sth. (Should) be done“建议做某事”，结合句意，所有的供水源头都应该被检查，故填be examined。

【10】handling 考查动词。Hand意为“处理”，介词of后跟动名词形式；根据句意和汉语提示，答案填handling。
