13、D.as a resultWhen 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 ove
14、r the town. The heart of Cambridge has its shops, restaurants, market place and so on, but most of it is universitycolleges, 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 w
15、ere 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 the
16、m 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. Dont try to dr
17、ive 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 11 know that you are in a university town. Stop in some safe place, and wait.（分数：

This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most our brains are not getting enough exercisesand as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon. Professor Taiju Matsuzawa w
23、anted 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 (同事) at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of
24、a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations. “ Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise (精确的) measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect (智能) and emotion, and determine the human character. “ The rear section
25、 of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional facilities. Contraction of front and side partsas cells die offwas observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in
26、 some sixty- and seventy-year-olds. Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with ageusing 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 a
27、t 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. Matsuzawas findings show that thinking can prevent
28、the brain from shrinking. Blood 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 the brain, “ he says, “Think hard and engage in conversation. Dont rely on pocket calculators.（分数：10.00）(1).The team
29、of doctors wanted to find out_.（分数：2.00）A.how to make people live longerB.the size of certain peoples brainsC.which people are most intelligentD.why certain people age sooner than others(2).On what are their research findings based?（分数：2.00）A.A survey of farmers in northern Japan.B.The study of brai

31、-oldsD.some peoples brains have contracted more than other peoples(4).The word “subjects“ in the sentence of Paragraph 5 “Contraction of front and side partsas cells die off was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty- and seventy-year-olds. “ means_.（
32、分数：2.00）A.something to be consideredB.branches of knowledge studiedC.any member of a state except the supreme rulerD.persons chosen to be studied in an experiment(5).According to the passage, which people seem to age slower than the others?（分数：2.00）A.Shop assistants, lawyers, and professor.B.Farmers
33、, doctors and clerks.C.Clerks, professor and farmers.D.Lawyers, professor and doctors.When we turn on a tap to get water, or press a switch to get electricity, we do not think of all the pipes and wires which bring these main services to our homes. The water is brought from the waterworks to each st
34、reet by a large underground pipea water main. The water in this pipe is then forced by pressure into the smaller pipes which carry it to storage tanks at the tops of the buildings. Other pipes bring the water down from the storage tank to the kitchens and bathrooms in the building. When the water ha
35、s been used, it is taken away from the building by drainpipe. These take the waste water to another large pipe under the roadthe main sewer. The waste water then flows along the sewer to the sewage works where it is cleaned. This “clean“ water is then poured into the sea or into a river, or in some
36、countries, sent back to the waterworks to be used again. Electricity is also brought to the house by a main, in this case a cable. This cable may be underground or, in country districts, it may hang above ground on pylons. The cable is connected to a meter in the building. This meter measures the am
37、ount of electricity that is used in the building. Near the meter there is a master switch which can cut off the supply of electricity. There are also fuse boxes between the master switch and the wires which take the electricity to each of the switches in the building. All these wires, fuses and swit
38、ches are the “wiring circuit“.（分数：10.00）(1).It can be inferred from this passage that_.（分数：2.00）A.water and electricity are the only main services in our homesB.the pipes bringing water to our homes are unimportantC.water is less significant than electricity in our homesD.we are unaware of how water
39、 or electricity is brought to our homes(2).We call water, electricity and sewer_.（分数：2.00）A.wiring circuitB.pipes, cables and drainsC.main servicesD.underground services(3).How is clean water brought to our homes?（分数：2.00）A.Through pipes from the sewage works.B.Through underground main pipes.C.Throu
40、gh pipes from storage tanks.D.Through small pipes under the road.(4).What happens to the waste water?（分数：2.00）A.It is kept in a large storage tank.B.It flows away through drains to a sewer.C.It flows away through a water main.D.It is returned to the waterworks.(5).Between a main cable and the master
41、 switch in our homes is_.（分数：2.00）A.a light switchB.a pylonC.a fuse boxD.a meterHow men first learned to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and
42、 things, so that they could communicate with each other, and later they agreed on certain signs. These signs were called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds and could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, are called words. The power of words, the
43、n, exists in their associationsthe things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience, and the longer we live, the more certain words remind us of the glad and sad events of our past, and the more we read and learn, the more number of words increases. Great
44、writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which deeply attract our minds and emotions. This skillful use of words is called “literary style“. Above all, a real poet can express his meaning in words which sing like music and can move men to tears. We
45、should, therefore, learn to choose our words carefully and use them properly, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.（分数：10.00）(1).The origin of language is_.（分数：2.00）A.treasure handed down from the pastB.a matter that is hidden or secretC.a problem not yet solvedD.a question difficult to ans
46、wer(2).One of the reasons why men invented certain sounds to express thoughts and actions was that_.（分数：2.00）A.they could write them downB.they could agree on certain signsC.they could communicate with each otherD.they could combine them(3).Which of the following is true about words?（分数：2.00）A.They
47、can not be used correctly by most people.B.They are used to express feelings only.C.They are simply sounds and can be written down.D.They cannot be used to express thoughts.(4).The real power of words exists in their_.（分数：2.00）A.convenienceB.propertiesC.inventionD.representative function(5).In expre
48、ssing their thoughts, great poets are able to_.（分数：2.00）A.move us to actionB.move men to tearsC.move us to succeedD.move men to fight三、Cloze(总题数：1，分数：40.00)Many teachers believe that the responsibilities for learning lie with the student.【51】a long reading assignment is given, instructors expect stu
