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 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 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 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 place, and wait. [br] Why did people find it hard to drive in Cambridge at five minutes between lectures?
选项
A、Because of the large number of the cars in the streets.
B、Because of the safety checks for the ’cars at this time~
C、Because of the streams of bikes going in all directions.
D、Because of the speed limit of the car.
答案
C
解析
根据题干关键词hard to drive,at five minutes定位到文章末段第二句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.(不要试图在课间的5分钟时间在城内开车,因为你会发现到处是骑自行车的拥挤人群。)由此可知原因是朝各个方向骑自行车的人都太多了,答案为C。
