A
13、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 place and so on, but most of it is universitycolleg
14、es, 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 p
15、resent 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 t
16、he 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 drive through Cambridge during the five minutes between lectures, as you will find crowds of people on bicycles hurrying in al
17、l 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.31 Cambridge can be described as a university town because_.（A）the university building fit in well with the rest of the town（B）
18、the size of Cambridge is just as big as the town（C） the separating line between the university and the town is not obvious（D）the university is located in the town32 In the first paragraph “but most of it is university“ , “it“ refers to_.（A）the rest of the city（B） the town（C） the heart of Cambridge（D

This is the research finding of a team of Japanese
22、 doctors, who say that most our brains are not getting enough exercisesand as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted 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
23、 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 a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations.“ Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise (精确的) measurements of the vol
24、ume 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 of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotion
25、al facilities.Contraction of front and side partsas cells die offwas observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty- and seventy-year-olds.Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with ageusing th
26、e 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 at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, howeve
27、r, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.Matsuzawas findings show that thinking can prevent 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 circ
28、ulation is through using the brain, “ he says, “Think hard and engage in conversation. Dont rely on pocket calculators.36 The team of doctors wanted to find out_.（A）how to make people live longer（B） the size of certain peoples brains（C） which people are most intelligent（D）why certain people age soon
29、er than others37 On what are their research findings based?（A）A survey of farmers in northern Japan.（B） The study of brain volumes of different people.（C） Tests performed on a thousand old people.（D）The latest development of computer technology.38 The doctors tests show that_.（A）our brains shrink as
30、 we grow older（B） the front section of the brain does not shrink（C） sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-olds（D）some peoples brains have contracted more than other peoples39 The word “subjects“ in the sentence of Paragraph 5 “Contraction of front and side partsas cells die off was obs
31、erved in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty- and seventy-year-olds. “ means_.（A）something to be considered（B） branches of knowledge studied（C） any member of a state except the supreme ruler（D）persons chosen to be studied in an experiment40 According to the pa
32、ssage, which people seem to age slower than the others?（A）Shop assistants, lawyers, and professor.（B） Farmers, doctors and clerks.（C） Clerks, professor and farmers.（D）Lawyers, professor and doctors.40 When we turn on a tap to get water, or press a switch to get electricity, we do not think of all th
33、e pipes and wires which bring these main services to our homes.The water is brought from the waterworks to each street 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
34、 pipes bring the water down from the storage tank to the kitchens and bathrooms in the building.When the water has 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
35、the sewage works where it is cleaned. This “clean“ water is then poured into the sea or into a river, or in some 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, i
36、t may hang above ground on pylons. The cable is connected to a meter in the building. This meter measures the amount 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 a
37、nd the wires which take the electricity to each of the switches in the building. All these wires, fuses and switches are the “wiring circuit“.41 It can be inferred from this passage that_.（A）water and electricity are the only main services in our homes（B） the pipes bringing water to our homes are un
38、important（C） water is less significant than electricity in our homes（D）we are unaware of how water or electricity is brought to our homes42 We call water, electricity and sewer_.（A）wiring circuit（B） pipes, cables and drains（C） main services（D）underground services43 How is clean water brought to our
39、homes?（A）Through pipes from the sewage works.（B） Through underground main pipes.（C） Through pipes from storage tanks.（D）Through small pipes under the road.44 What happens to the waste water?（A）It is kept in a large storage tank.（B） It flows away through drains to a sewer.（C） It flows away through a
40、water main.（D）It is returned to the waterworks.45 Between a main cable and the master switch in our homes is_.（A）a light switch（B） a pylon（C） a fuse box（D）a meter45 How 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,
41、unlike animals, invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and 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 so
42、unds, whether spoken or written in letters, are called words.The power of words, then, 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
43、our past, and the more we read and learn, the more number of words increases.Great 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 ca
44、n express his meaning in words which sing like music and can move men to tears. We should, therefore, learn to choose our words carefully and use them properly, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.46 The origin of language is_.（A）treasure handed down from the past（B） a matter that is hidde
45、n or secret（C） a problem not yet solved（D）a question difficult to answer47 One of the reasons why men invented certain sounds to express thoughts and actions was that_.（A）they could write them down（B） they could agree on certain signs（C） they could communicate with each other（D）they could combine th
46、em48 Which of the following is true about words?（A）They 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.49 The real power of words exists in their_.（A）convenience（B） prop
47、erties（C） invention（D）representative function50 In expressing their thoughts, great poets are able to_.（A）move us to action（B） move men to tears（C） move us to succeed（D）move men to fight三、Cloze50 Many teachers believe that the responsibilities for learning lie with the student.【51】a long reading ass
