3.a---an outbreak

【解析】这篇文章主要讲了约翰斯诺打败霍乱王的故事。

考查句子结构。这个句子是一个简单的主谓宾结构，没有含有一个定语从句，所以删除who。

考查固定短语。expose to暴露于，是固定用法，所以exposed in---to。

考查冠词。Outbreak的首字母发音是元音，所以a---an outbreak。

考查代词。约翰斯诺是男士，所以her---his attention。

考查名词。evidence是不可数名词，所以evidences---evidence。

考查主谓一致。他发现大多数的死者都靠近水泵并且这种疾病是通过水传播的。“most of the deaths”是复数意义，所以the deaths was---were。

考查介词。他发现大多数的死者都靠近水泵并且这种疾病是通过水传播的。表示“通过……的方式”，用介词by，所以with---by water 。

考查非谓语动词。Pollute与water之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词作定语，polluting---polluted。

考查虚拟语气。the source of all the water supplies be examined.是一个省略了that的宾语从句，suggest表示建议，所以这个宾语从句需要使用should+动词原形，should可以被省略的虚拟语气，was---be examined。

考查语态。“霍乱王”和“打败”之间是被动关系，所以用被动语态，defeated之前加was。
