Part II. Reading Comprehension(60 points)
Passage 1
When we say that Cambridge is a university town we do not mean that it is a town with a university in it. A
university town is one where there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city.
The
university
is
not
just
one
part
of
the
town,
it
is
all
over
the
town.
The
heart
of
Cambridge
has
its
shops,
restaurants, market place and so on, but most of it is university
——
colleges, libraries, clubs and other places for
university staff and students.
The town was there first. Cambridge became a center of learning in the thirteenth century. Many students
were
too
poor
to
afford
lodgings.
Colleges
were
opened
so
that
students
could
live
cheaply.
This
was
the
beginning of the present day college system.
Today there are nearly thirty colleges. Very few students can now live in college for the whole of their course, the
numbers are too great. Many of them live in lodgings at first and move into college for their final year. But every
student is a member of his college from the beginning. He must eat a number of meals in the college hall each
week.
Students are not allowed to keep cars in Cambridge, so nearly all of them use bicycles. Don't try to drive
through
Cambridge
during
the
five
minutes
between
lectures,
as
you
will
find
crowds
of
people
on
bicycles
hurrying in all directions.
If
you are in
Cambridge at five
minutes
to the hour any
morning of the
term,
you'll
know that you are in a university town. Stop in some safe place, and wait.
31. Cambridge can be described as university town because ________ .



A. the university buildings fit in well with the rest of the town



B. the size of Cambridge is just as big as the town



C. he separation line between the university and the town is not obvious



D. the university is located in the town
3
2. In the first paragraph “but most of it is university”, “it” refers to ________ .




A. the rest of the city
























B. the town



C. the heart of Cambridge
























D
. the university
33. Which of the following can best give the main idea of second paragraph?



A. Cambridge has a long history.












B. Many students lacked money, so colleges were set up then.



C. The town was built before the university.



D. It was cheaper for students to live in college than in lodgings.
34. It is possible for the college students to ________ .



A. live in college from the beginning













B. keep both bikes and cars in college



C. have all the meals outside the college each week



D. live in college for their final year of the course
35.
People
found
it
hard
to
drive
through
Cambridge
at
five
minutes
to
the
hour
in
the
morning
because
of
________ .


A. the large numbers to cars in the streets












B. safety checks for the cars at this time


C. streams of bikes going in all directions











D. the speed limit of the car
Passage 2
If you want to stay young sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese
doctors,
who
say
that
most
our
brains
are
not
getting
enough
exercises,
and
as
a
result,
we
are
ageing
unnecessarily soon.
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to
be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed
down.
With a team a colleague at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand
people of different ages and varying occupations.
“Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side
sections of the
brain, which related to intellect and emotion, and determine the human character.” The rear section
of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breaking, does not contract with age, and one can continue
living without intellectual or emotional facilities.
Contraction of front and side parts
——
as cells die off
——
was observed in some subjects in their thirties,
but it was still not evident in some sixty and seventy-year-olds.
Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is simple remedy to contraction normally associated with age using
the head.
The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than
in
the
towns.
Those
least
at
risk,
says
Matsuzawa,
are
lawyers,
followed
by
university
professors
and
doctors.
White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as
the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.
Matsuzawa’s
findings
show
that
thinking
can
prevent
the
brain
from
shrinking.
B
lood
must
circulate
properly
in
the
head
to
supply
the
fresh
oxygen
the
brain
cells
need.
“The
best
way
to
maintain
good
blood
circulation
is
through
using
brain,”
he
says,
“Think
hard
and
engage
in
conversation.
Don't
rely
on
pocket
calculators.”
