【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文讲述了陈先生被诊断患有癌症而需要手术，但因为家境贫穷，而且两个孩子都在上学而不能得到治疗。在当地医保工程帮助下，只需支付很少的钱就得到了治疗。这个医保项目帮助了很多其他的病人。

1.句意：一年前他发现患了癌症。由于是对过去事情事情的陈述，用一般过去时found,做谓语。

2.句意：他说手术要花费数千元。Cost花费，其主语一般是物，前面有would，所以动词用原形。

3.句意：他们没有工作，而且两个孩子都在上学。从后面的sons，是复数，结合所给的词，选both两者都。

4.句意：情况看起来毫无希望。Situation情况，名词，在句中作主语。Hopeless，没希望的

5.句意：一个医保工程将为西部的病人提供治疗。Provide提供，在句中作谓语，前面有would，故用原形。

6.句意：他们需要支付一半甚至更甚的费用。Need to do sth.需要做……,对过去事情的陈述，用一般过去时，做谓语

7.句意：多谢了这个医保工程，他可以及时接受手术防止病情变得严重。Prevent…from doing sth防止某事的发生。Get worse,变得严重，用bad比较级。

8.句意：这项工程的目的就是为了改善西部贫困人口的状况。结合上下文，可知填purpose目的

9.句意：到目前为止，这项工程已经帮助了5000多人。Help帮助，作谓语，结合语境此处要用现在完成时，表示过去发生的动作一直持续到现在，其结构为have/has+过去分词，主语为project,所以填has helped。

10.句意：中国政府希望建立一个新的医保模式。Hope to do希望做……,主语是第三人称单数，用hopes.

考点：短文填空。
