【解析】

試題分析：

1.句意：他死于癌癥。Be dying of死于，是一個固定短語，所以填寫dying。

2.句意：在他最后的日子，他告訴你……。根據(jù)上句He is dying of cancer可知此句是說在他最后的日子里，他告訴你……，所以填寫final。

3.句意：當我死的時候，務(wù)必讓我的兒子上醫(yī)學院。Make sure確保，務(wù)必，是一固定短語，所以填寫sure。

4.句意：但他的兒子是一個花花公子，對上醫(yī)學院沒興趣并且會在很短的時間內(nèi)浪費那些錢。所以填寫interest。

5.句意：但他的兒子是一個花花公子，對上醫(yī)學院沒興趣并且會在很短的時間內(nèi)浪費那些錢。所以填寫waste。

6.句意：但你兒子上大學，他愿意成為一個醫(yī)生。Be willing to樂意，愿意，所以填寫willing。

7.句意：從著名的大學校長到普通士兵總統(tǒng)我都都問了這個問題。根據(jù)前面from可知這里填寫to。

8.句意：它從未沒有失去過一個討論機會。所以填寫failed。

9.句意：每個人都有自己的觀點，大多數(shù)人不同，但他們都對。根據(jù)連詞不同可推知本句是指大多數(shù)人觀點不同但都正確，所以填寫correct。

10.句意：有時這一話題要持續(xù)整個晚上。根據(jù)句意結(jié)合this one topic是單數(shù)第三人稱可知填寫lasts。

考點：短文填空。
