題目列表(包括答案和解析)

　　When we say that Cambridge is a university town, we do not mean just that it is a town with a university in it．London and Liverpool have universities, but we do not call them university towns．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, market-places and so on, but most of it is university－colleges, libraries, clubs and other places for university staff and students．Students fill the shops, cafes, banks, and churches, making these as well part of the university．

　　The town was there first．Two Roman roads crossed there, and there are signs of building before Roman times(earlier than 43 AD)．Trouble in Oxford in 1209 caused some students and their teachers to move．Cambridge became a center of learning, and the authority of the head of the university was recognized by the king in 1226．

　　At that time many of the students were very young(about fifteen), and many of the teachers were not more than twenty-one．At first they found lodgings(寓所)where they could, but many students were too poor to afford lodgings．Colleges were opened so that students could live cheaply．This was the beginning of the college system which has continued at Cambridge up to the present day．

　　The colleges were built with money from kings, queens, religious houses, or other sources．Today there are nearly thirty colleges．The newest are University College, founded in 1956, and Clare Hall, founded in 1966, both for graduates．Very few students can now live in college for the whole of their course; the number is too great．Many of them live in lodgings at first and move into college for their final year．

　　With about 8,250 undergraduates and over 2,000 postgraduates, the city is a busy place．Don't try to drive through Cambridge during the five minutes between lectures．If you are in Cambridge any morning at five minutes to the hour(the time lectures start), you know you are in a university town．Stop in some safe place and wait．
