【解析】

本文讲述了作者在非洲一家医院工作一个月后的心得和感受，并且更加坚定了自己的职业目标的故事。

1.

句意：我对在大学学习医学很感兴趣。

考查形容词。be interested in意为“对……感兴趣”，根据句意，故填interested。

2.

句意：我被介绍到了一个与我的世界在很多方面都非常不同的世界。

考查动词。根据句意可知主语和谓语动词是被动关系，又因为本文讲述的过去的事情，所以该句应用一般过去时的被动语态，其结构为was/were+动词的过去分词，故填was introduced。

3.

句意：我感到震惊的是，那里有那么多的家庭如此贫困，他们的生活有多么艰难。

考查名词。so many意为“如此多的”，后面跟可数名词复数形式，family复数形式为families，故填families。

4.

句意：但我也惊讶于人们如何积极地度过他们的日常生活。

考查形容词性物主代词。此处要修饰名词lives，所以应用they的形容词性物主代词their，故填their。

5.

句意：我想我们很多人都没有意识到我们有多幸运。

考查感叹句。根据句意指“我们有多幸运”，是个感叹句，又根据感叹句结构What+(a/an)+形容词+名词或How +adj./adv.+主语+谓语，可知应用how引导感叹句，故填how。

6.

句意：我不仅花了很多时间打扫地板，还花了一些时间照顾病人。

考查副词。not only…but also…意为“不仅……而且……”，根据句意，故填also。

7.

句意：我有机会和一些医生交谈，询问他们有关工作的情况。

考查动词。get the chance to do sth.意为“得到做某事的机会”，根据句意，故填to talk。

8.

句意：我在医院里看到了一些非常可怕的事情，但都没有改变了我做医生的想法。

考查并列连词。根据句意前后两句是转折关系，所以用连词but，故填but。

9.

句意：事实上，他们只会让我更加坚定地去做医学!

考查介词。in fact为固定搭配，意为“事实上”，句首首字母要大写，故填In。

10.

句意：当我完成后，我知道我要做什么：我想为红十字会这样的国际组织工作。

考查疑问词。根据句意指“我知道我要做什么”，所以用what引导宾语从句，故填what。
