On the other hand, the major diseases threatening
Americans today are cancer, stroke, high blood

drugs. So the first important lesson is not to expect

an inevitable triumph, they will do a great deal to __7__

答案:
1. it——them
them指代上文的drugs
2. 在think和is之间加of或about
此处为不及物动词,一般在后面跟of或about
3. treat——cure
cure特别用以指病后通过治疗得以恢复健康;treat则只强调治疗本身
4. 在wonder前加no
根据上下文意义,医生没有治愈上文提及的各种疾病的特效药
5. many——much
用much指代“期望”这一抽象的概念性的东西
6. more——rather
此处不是比较概念,而是否定概念“不是”
7. they——it
it指代上文的the fact that the war against many of our most devastating
diseases is, at best, a holding operation more than an inevitable triumph.
8. describe——prescrible
根据上下文意义和语法,应为“医生为每一种症状开药”
9. an——the
此处的injection特指上文的a short of penicillin
10. 删除not
根据上下文意义,“患者会一直寻求,直到找到愿意为其打针或开药的医生为止”
