问题     For much of its history, innumerable epigrams have been
coined about London by both her enthusiasts and detractors.
The great 18th-century writer and the wit Samuel Johnson                    【S1】______
said that a man who is tired of London are tired of life.                   【S2】______
Oliver Wendell Holmes said, "No person can be said to
know London. The most that anyone can claim is what                         【S3】______
he knows something of it." Simply stating, London is                        【S4】______
one of the most interesting places on earth. There is no
another place like it in its agglomeration of architectural                 【S5】______
sins and sudden intervention of almost rural sights, in
its medley(混合) of styles, in its mixture of the green
loveliness of parks and the modem gleam of neon.
Thankfully, the old London of Queen Anne and Georgian
architectures can still be discovered under the hasty routine               【S6】______
of later additions.
    Today, that sense of modernity is weaker than ever.                     【S7】______
Everyone is talking about swinging-again London. It is
still, like Vanity Fair proclaimed, "the coolest, hottest                   【S8】______
city on the world." Millennium fever left its trophies                      【S9】______
—a panoply of new buildings. The boom economy
of the mid-’90s helped the city’s art, style, fashion, and
dining scenes made headlines around the world.                              【S10】______
【S1】
选项
答案删去and后面的the。
解析 在英语中，当表示某人具有多重身份时，仅使用一个定冠词，如the writer and teacher,表示“作家兼老师”，而文中The great l8th-century writer and the wit则表示“那位伟大的18世纪作家以及那位智者”，此时分别表示两个人。根据文中意思显然是指第一种情况。
