A Famous University Town
When we say that Cambridge is a university town we do not mean that it is a town with a university in it.
1 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 places 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（公寓） 2 This was the beginning of the present day college system.
Today there are nearly thirty colleges. 3 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.
4 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. 5 .
A．Colleges were opened so that students could live cheaply.
B．Students are not allowed to keep cars in Cambridge,
C．Many students were short of money for their education, so college towns were set up then.
D．A university town is one where there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city.
E. Stop in some safe place, and wait.
F. The size of Cambridge University is not so big as the town.
G. Very few students can now live in college for the whole of their course; the numbers are too great.
They say money doesn’t grow on trees. But it certainly appears to do so on the mysterious coin-studded(嵌满) trunks dotted around the UK’s woodland. The strange phenomenon of old trees with coins fixed firmly all over their bark has been spotted on trails from the Peak District to the Scottish Highlands. The coins are usually knocked into felled (砍伐的) tree trunks using stones by passers-by, who hope it will bring them good fortune.
These fascinating spectacles often have coins from centuries ago buried deep in their bark and warped by the passage of time. The tradition of making offerings to gods at wishing trees dates back hundreds of years, but this combination of the man-made and the natural is far more rare. It used to be believed that god’s spirits lived in trees, and they were often decorated with sweets and gifts — as is still done today at Christmas. The act is like tossing money into ponds for good luck, or the trend for couples to attach “love padlocks” to bridges and fences to symbolize lasting romance. Some pubs, such as the Punch Bowl in Askham, Cumbria, have old timbers with splits in them into which coins are forced for luck. There are seven felled tree trunks with coins pushed into them in the picturesque village of Portmeirion, in Wales.
Meurig Jones, an estate manager at the tourist destination, told the BBC, “We had no idea why it was being done when we first noticed the tree trunk was being filled with coins. I did some detective work and discovered that trees were sometimes used as ‘wishing trees’. In Britain it dates back to the 1700s — there is one tree somewhere in Scotland which apparently has an old coin stuck into it. ” He said that a sick person could press a coin into a tree and their illness would go away. If someone then takes the coin out though, it’s said they then become ill. We haven’t made it known at all, it’s just happened,” he added. “It’s quite amazing really.” In Scotland, there is also a legend about a kissing tree. If a young man could drive a nail into a tree with one blow, he earned a kiss from his sweetheart.

The Sauna World Championships (世界桑拿锦标赛) ended in tragedy at the weekend when one of the two finalists collapsed and died. Vladimir Ladyzhenskiy, a Russian amateur wrestler in his 60s, suffered severe burns in the bizarre(怪诞的) annual event in the southern Finnish town of Heinola. He was pronounced dead late on Saturday after he collapsed alongside reigning (卫冕) champion Timo Kaukonen of Finland roughly six minutes into the final round. The “sport” calls on participants to sit in a 230-degree (110 Celsius) room as water was tossed onto a searing stove, officials and witnesses said. Medical workers pulled both men out of the sauna in front of nearly 1,000 horrified spectators.
Both were shaking and bleeding from what appeared to be severe burns, said Hakon Eikesdal, a photographer with the Norwegian daily Dagbladet. Kaukonen, about 40, was in hospital in stable condition Sunday, contest spokesman Ossi Arvela said. The event, which had over 130 participants from 15 countries, had been held since 1999. It will never be held again, Arvela said. A pint of water is added to the stove every 30 seconds and the last person to remain at the sauna is the winner. There was no prize other than “some small things” Arvela said. He declined to provide details. Arvela said Kaukonen — the defending world champion — had refused to leave the sauna despite getting sick. Sauna bathing is a popular past-time in Finland, which has an estimated 1.6 million saunas for a population of 5 million.
Temperatures are normally kept around 158 to 176 degrees (70~80 degrees Celsius). “I know this is very hard to understand to people outside Finland who are not familiar with the sauna habit,” Arvela said. “It is not so unusual to have 110 degrees in a sauna. A lot of competitors before have sat in higher temperatures than that.” Arvela said all rules in Saturday’s competition were followed and the temperatures and times were similar to those in previous years.
1.Which of the following is True of Paragraph 1?
A．Only the Russian amateur wrestler suffered severe burns in the Sauna World Championships.
B．Timo Kaukonen won a world sauna championship though he was badly burned.
C．In the Sauna World Championships Vladimir Ladyzhenskiy was badly burned and then died.
D．Both of the finalists were pulled out of the sauna, then they were horrified to death.
2.The underlined word “searing” means “__________”.
A．burning B．comfortable C．warm D．extinct
3.What can we conclude from the situation after the tragedy?
A．There was no prize other than “some small things”, which the world champion would refuse to accept.
B．Ossi Arvela suggested there were great risks in the sauna contest and it never be held in the future.
C．The contest would be continued in which the temperatures were kept around 158 to 176 degrees.
D．It was unusual to have 110 degrees in a sauna and it was hard to understand to some people outside.
4.We can infer from the news that ___________.
A．sauna is so popular that there are often competitions on weekdays in Finland.
B．the temperatures in usual saunas are too high for most people to stand in Finland.
C．the sauna contest is much too horrible even for the spectators in Finland.
D．there is a sauna for more than three people on average in Finland.
The time of year a baby is born can shape what profession they will embark on (从事) in later life, a new study has suggested. Being born in a certain month appears to indicate the statistical likelihood of what job a person will end up with, the study by the Office for National Statistics found. Researchers have uncovered that the month in which babies are born could also affect everything from intelligence to length of life.
A child born December is more likely to become a dentist while someone whose birthday falls in January will tend to a debt collector, they found. A February birth appears to increase the chances of being an artist while March babies appear to go on to become pilots. Meanwhile, April and May are said to have a fairly even spread of professions, births in the summer months mean a much lower chance of becoming a high-earning football player, doctor or dentist.
The study was derived (推导出) by researchers who analyzed the birth months of people in 19 separate occupations using information from the last census, the Daily Mail reported. Although these trends may be difficult to explain, correlations (关联) between birth months and specific health problems have a scientific basis. Spring babies are at greater risks of illnesses including schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, asthma and autism. They may also be less clever than classmates born in other parts of the year.
1.What is the main idea of this passage?
A．The year when a baby is born may not be associated with the job he or she will end up with.
B．Researchers have found the birth month could affect both intelligence and length of life.
C．The birth time can give signs of future development of what professions people will start.
D．The study indicates there are correlations between birth months and some terrible risks.
2.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．A child born in December is more likely to become an artist while someone born in January will tend to be a dentist.
B．A February birth appears to have the possibilities of being an artist while March babies appear to become pilots.
C．Children born in April and May are said to have equally balanced chances in their future professions.
D．Births in the summer months mean they have few chances to earn a lot of money as a football player, doctor or dentist.
3.What do the researchers also study besides the analyses of the trends between birth months and professions?
A．Some serious diseases from births of many children.
B．A lot of mental illnesses caused by giving birth to children.
C．The secret of births and healthy problems.
D．The relationship between birth months and certain health problems.
