1、单选题：
‏Down on the brick floor of the University of Maryland’s Davidge Hall, a noted professor of medicine is about to perform a most unusual postmortem. Although this domed amphitheater with its steeply rising seats has hosted medical lectures and demonstrations for more than 200 years, today’s offering is exceptional, for the deceased’s remains are nowhere in sight. And at the conclusion of the autopsy, a string quarter will present a program of 18th-century music. The occasion is the university’s sixth annual historical clinical pathology conference. Each year the university’s medical school invites a physician to diagnose the mysterious maladies of historical figures ranging from Edgar Allan Poe to Alexander the Great. This year’s patient is a 35-year-old male who died in Vienna after a two-week illness. His body was consigned to a common grave, but his genius still resounds in concert halls the world over. ‌Controversy has surrounded this particular case history, Fitzgerald explains, because of the deceased’s celebrity status: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s death “wouldn’t have been mysterious at all if Wolfgang Amadeus Muller had died that December night.” Strastruck physicians have since ascribed Mozart’s death to more than 100 causes. “Each of these [diagnoses] is argued with a passion disproportionate to the data,” Fitzgerald points out. “And of course, Mozart died of syphilis as well as everything else, because every great man dies of syphilis.” ‌‌According to musicologist Neal Zaslaw of Cornell University, who sketches a brief Mozart biography, the death and burial entries in two church registers list the cause of death as “severe miliary fever,” a generic descriptor at the time for any syndrome marked by a seedlike rash. Press reports of his passing supplied such colorful and sinister diagnosis as poisoning, venereal disease, and dropsy of the heart, the 18th-century term for fluid retention and severe swelling. ‌Thus, overweight imaginations and the sands of time have turned tragedy into a medical mystery aching to be solved. That’s just the sort of material that appeals to the school’s vice chair of medicine, Philip Mackowiak, who launched the conference six years ago after reading an account in a Maryland historical magazine of Edgar Allan Poe’s final days. He hired an actor to play Poe and asked his colleague Michael Benitez to review the writer’s medical history. The diagnosis — death by rabies — was topped off, appropriately enough, with a monologue from Poe’s story The Black Cat. The rabies theory attracted enough attention to become a question on the TV game show Jeopardy. ‌It’s instructive, too, to watch another physician work through a case without the benefit of modern technology, says Sehdev. In Mozart’s example, the most compelling symptom — anasarca— has three common causes: liver disease, kidney disease, and congestive heart failure. Lacking modern lab techniques, Fitzgerald must use deductive reasoning.   ‌‌1. What is special about the sixth annual historical clinical pathology conference is that ___________. ‌‌‏‌

8、单选题：
Lord Chesterfield, to whom Johnson had paid the high compliment of addressing to his Lordship the Plan of his Dictionary, had behaved to him in such a manner as to excite his contempt and indignation. The world has been for many years amused with a story confidently told, and as confidently repeated with additional circumstances,（翻译 1） that a sudden disgust was taken by Johnson upon occasion of his having been one day kept long in waiting in his Lordship’s antechamber, for which the reason assigned was, that he had company with him; and that at last, when the door opened, out walked Colley Cibber; and that Johnson was so violently provoked when he found for whom he had been so long excluded, that he went away in a passion, and never would return. I remember having mentioned this story to George Lord Lyttelton, who told me, he was very intimate with Lord Chesterfield; and holding it as a well-known truth, defended Lord Chesterfield, by saying, that ‘Cibber, who had been introduced familiarly by the back-stairs, had probably not been there above ten minutes.’ It may seem strange even to entertain a doubt concerning a story so long and so widely current, and thus implicitly adopted, if not sanctioned, by the authority which I have mentioned; but Johnson himself assured me, that there was not the least foundation for it. He told me, that there never was any particular incident which produced a quarrel between Lord Chesterfield and him; but that his Lordship’s continued neglect was the reason why he resolved to have no connection with him. When the Dictionary was upon the eve of publication, Lord Chesterfield, who, it is said, had flattered himself with expectations that Johnson would dedicate the work to him, attempted, in a courtly manner, to sooth, and insinuate himself with the Sage, conscious, as it should seem, of the cold indifference with which he had treated its learned author; and further attempted to conciliate him, by writing two papers in The World, in recommendation of the work（翻译 2）; and it must be confessed, that they contain some studied compliments, so finely turned, that if there had been no previous offence, it is probable that Johnson would have been highly delighted. Praise, in general, was pleasing to him; but by praise from a man of rank and elegant accomplishments, he w
