When people say that Cambridge is a university town, they do not mean that it is a town with a university in it.A university town is a place 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 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.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 courses; 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 during the five minutes any morning of the term, you’ll know that you are in a university town.Stop in some place, and wait. [br] According to the second paragraph, which of the following is NOT true?
选项
A、Cambridge has a long history.
B、The town was built earlier than Cambridge.
C、Many students lacked money, so colleges were opened.
D、It was more expensive for students to live in colleges than in lodgings.
答案
D
解析
根据文章第二段第一、二句可知,这个城镇先于剑桥城存在,后来到13世纪成为一个学习中心,由此推断选项A)和B)正确;由该段第三、四句可知,那时大学生贫穷,付不起住宿费,因此大学里开始有一些学院为学生提供便宜的住宿,因此C)正确,D)错误。因此本题答案为D)。
