Cholera used to be one of the most feared 1.__________ (disease) in the world, until a British doctor. John Snow, showed 2. __________it could be overcome. This illness causes severe diarrhoea, dehydration, and even 3.__________ . In the early19th century, when 4.__________ outbreak of cholera hit Europe, millions of people died from the disease. As a young doctor, John Snow became 5.__________ because no one knew how to prevent or treat cholera. In time, he rose to become a famous doctor, and even attended to Queen Victoria when she gave birth. However, he never lost his desire 6.__________(destroy) cholera once and for all.
In general, doctors in those days had two contradictory 7.__________(theory) to explain how cholera spread. One theory was 8.__________ bad air caused the disease. Another was that cholera 9. __________(cause )by an infection from germs in food or water. Snow subscribed 10. __________ the second theory. It was correct, 11.__________ he still needed proof. 12.__________(consequent) , when an outbreak of cholera hit London in 1854, Snow began to investigate. He discovered that in two particular streets the cholera outbreak was 13. __________ severe that more than 500 people died in ten days. He was determined to find out why.
Snow began by 14. __________(mark) on a map the exact places where all those 15. __________died had lived. There were multiple 16.__________(death) near the water pump in Broad Street (especially house numbers 16, 37, 38, and40). However, some households (such as 20 and 21 Broad Street, and 8 and 9 Cambridge Street) 17. __________(have) no deaths.These people worked in the pub at 7 Cambridge Street. They 18. _____________(give) free beer, and so had not drunk the water from the pump. Snow suspected that the water pump was 19.__________(blame).What is more, in another part of London, a woman and her daughter 20.__________ (die) of cholera after moving away from Broad Street. It seemed that the woman liked the water from the pump so much that she had it 21.__________(deliver) to her house every day. As a result of this evidence, John Snow was able to announce that the pump water carried cholera germs. Accordingly, he had the handle of the pump 22.__________(remove) so that it could not be used. Through this intervention, the disease was stopped in its tracks.
The 23.__________(true) was that the water from the Broad Street pump had been infected by waste. Moreover, Snow was later able to show a link between other cases of cholera 24.__________ the different water companies in London. Some companies sold water from the River Thames 25.__________was polluted by raw waste. The people who drank this water were much more likely 26.__________(get ) cholera than those who drank pure or boiled water
Through Snow’s 27._______________(不懈努力), water companies began to sell clean water and the threat of cholera around the world saw 28.______________________(大幅降低). However, cholera is still a problem. Each year, millions of people around the world get cholera and many die from it. Fortunately, we now know how to prevent cholera, 29. __________(多亏了) the work of John Snow. Moreover, in his use of maps and statistics, Snow transformed the way scientists study diseases. For this reason, Snow 30.__________ (consider) the father of modern epidemiology.

附课文翻译
在英国医生约翰 斯诺向人们展示如何战胜霍乱之前,霍乱曾是世界上最令人恐惧的疾病之一。它可导致严重腹泻、脱水甚至死亡。十九世纪初,崔乱暴发,肆虐欧洲,数百万人丧命。由于当时无人知道如何预防或治疗霍乱,年轻的约翰 斯诺医生很沮丧。后来,他成了一位名医。甚至照料分娩的维多利亚女王。然而,他始终没有放弃彻底根除霍乱的愿望。
关于霍乱的蔓延方式,当时医生大体上有两种截然不同的看法。一种看法是空气污染引发,另一种看法是食物或饮用水中的细菌感染导致霍乱。斯诺赞同第二种看法。这一看法是正确的,但他仍需要证据。因此,1854年伦敦暴发霍乱时,斯诺便开始调查。他发现霍乱疫情在两条街道上尤为严重,十天内就有500多人死亡。他决心查明原因。
斯诺首先在地图上标出所有死者住所的确切位置。宽街水泵附近有多例死亡(尤其是16号、37号、38号及40号住宅),但是有些住户(如宽街20号和21号以及剑桥街8号和9号)却无人死亡。这些幸存者在剑桥街7号的酒吧工作,酒吧为他们提供免费啤酒,因此没有喝水泵抽上来的水。斯诺怀疑水泵就是罪魁祸首。此外,在伦敦的另一个区域,一名妇女和她的女儿从宽街搬来后死于霍乱。该妇女似乎非常喜欢从水泵抽上来的水,每天都让人从那里打水运到家里来。有了这个证据,约翰·斯诺就能够宣布水泵抽上来的水携带霍乱病菌。于是,他让人拆掉了水泵的把手,这样水泵就用不成了。这一干预举措遏制了疾病的蔓延。
事情的真相是宽街水泵抽上来的水被废弃物污染了。此外,斯诺之后还证明了另外几起霍乱病例与伦敦多家饮用水公司有关。有些公司出售的水取自被未处理的废弃物污染的泰晤士河。与饮用纯浄水或开水的人相比,饮用被污染的水的人更容易染上霍乱。
经过斯诺的不懈努力,饮用水公司开始出售洁净水,世界各地霍乱的威胁大幅降低。然而,霍乱仍是问题。每年全球有数百万人感染霍乱,其中许多人因此丧生。幸运的是,由于约翰 斯诺的努力,我们现在知道了如何预防霍乱。此外,通过使用地图和数据,斯诺改变了科学家研究疾病的方式。因此,斯诺被誉为现代流行病学之父。
