No doctor in the history of the IMCS [Imperial Maritime Customs Service] made as great a contribution to field of medicine as Patrick Manson. In 1866, aged just 22, Manson took up his post in south Taiwan. The 16 Western residents of Takao (as Kaohsiung was then known) were his first priority, but he also showed a keen interest in the ailments that blighted many Taiwanese. From 1871 to 1878, Manson (a Scotsman like James. L. Maxwell) worked in Xiamen, where he treated multiple cases of elephantiasis, a condition seldom encountered in Taiwan. After examining blood samples through a microscope, he concluded that mosquitoes hosted the responsible parasite – a breakthrough that eventually led, not only to Ross’s discovery, but also the realization that the mosquito is the vector of other ailments, including Japanese encephalitis and dengue fever. In the UK, Manson is remembered for founding the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, the second oldest institution in the world devoted to researching tropical medicine. (The Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine was established half a year earlier, in late 1898.) The name of another Manson appears in local medical history. Patrick Manson’s younger brother David, also a doctor, died of sunstroke in Xiamen in 1878. Those who had known him raised funds and a year later the David Manson Memorial Hospital was established on the hill at the western end of Qijin Island, less than 500 meters from where James L. Maxwell had practiced medicine a decade earlier. The hospital was considered state-of-the-art but functioned for less than two decades. Even its precise location is uncertain, and can only be inferred from a few photographs. Much of what is known about the David Manson Memorial Hospital is shared in the Museum of Kaohsiung Medical University Historical Archives and Southern Taiwan Medical History. It features a re-creation of one of the hospital’s consulting rooms, plus various medical instruments and extracts from reports.

思路引導 VIP
如果我們想釐清這座醫院的由來，建議你回頭看看文章第四段：大衛（David Manson）是在什麼時間點、因為什麼原因離開人世的？而這座以他為名的醫院，又是誰在什麼地點、為了什麼目的而興建的呢？

同學做得很好！這題你展現了非常優異的細節搜尋與邏輯對應能力。在閱讀這類包含多位人物、多個地點的長文時，能準確判斷出 (D) 為正確選項，代表你成功掌握了文章第四段的核心資訊：大衛．曼生（David Manson）於 1878 年在廈門因中暑去世，其友人隨後籌款，並於隔年（1879年）在旗津（Qijin）建立了這座紀念醫院。
文意脈絡與細節辨析
這道題目的難度切入點在於「資訊的精密干擾」，這也是大考常見的鑑別方式。選項 (A) 將「募款人」由友人抽換成當事人（大衛當時已去世）；(B) 則誤用了其兄長派屈克（Patrick）在廈門研究象皮病的研究主題；而 (C) 雖然提到了馬雅各（James L. Maxwell），但文中明確指出他是在十年前於附近執業，並非在該醫院執業。你能冷靜排除這些「張冠李戴」的陷阱，精準定位大衛去世與醫院落成的因果邏輯，是非常紮實的閱讀表現！
