【解析】

试题分析：

1.Who/that 本句是一个定语从句，先行词是John Snow，定语从句中使用who/that指代先行词做主语。

2.exposed 固定搭配be exposed to…接触到…；本句中使用形容词短语exposed to cholera修饰前面的名词ordinary people指接触到霍乱的人。

3.deadly 形容词deadly致命的，修饰后面的名词disease，指霍乱是一种致命的疾病。

4.nor 句意：霍乱的原因和治愈方法都没有人知道。Neither…nor…既不…也不…；表示全部否定。

5.so 句意：霍乱的原因和治愈方法都没有人知道，所以很多人都死于这种疾病。根据句意可知上下文是因果关系，所以使用so来连接上下文。

6. be controlled 句意：John Snow认识到直到霍乱的原因被查明这个疾病才可以被控制。因为control是一个短暂性动词，所以使用not…until…的结构。本句的否定使用的是never。

7.a 句意：他帮助收集信息，为此他制作了一幅地图。动词短语Make a map制作一幅地图。

8.result 固定搭配as a result结果是；句意：结果，他找到了霍乱的原因，并建议水源要被立刻检查。

9.immediately 句意：他找到了霍乱的原因，并建议水源要被立刻检查。使用副词immediately做状语修饰谓语动词。

10.to 句意：幸亏有他，“King Cholera”才被打败了。固定搭配thanks to…幸亏…；这个短语含有很强的感情色彩。
