Passage Three
"Where is the University?" is the question many visitors to Cambridge ask, but no one could point them in any one direction because there is no campus. The university consists of 31 self-governing colleges. [32]It has lecture halls, libraries, laboratories, museums and offices throughout the city.
[33]Individual colleges choose their own students, who have to meet the minimum entrance requirements set by the university. Undergraduates usually live and study in their colleges, where they are taught in very small groups. Lectures and laboratory and practical work are organized by the university and held in university buildings.
There are over 10,000 undergraduates and 3,500 postgraduates. About 40 percent of them are women and some 8 percent from overseas. As well as teaching, research is of major importance. Since the beginning of the 20th century, more than 60 university members have won Nobel Prizes.
The university has a huge number of buildings for teaching and research. [34]It has more than 60 specialized subject libraries, as well as the University Library, which, as a copyright library, is entitled to a copy of every book published in Britain.
Examinations are set and degrees are awarded by the university. [35]It allowed women to take the university exams in 1881, but it was not until 1948 that they were awarded degrees.

Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32. Why is it difficult for visitors to locate Cambridge University?
正確答案：D
解析：預讀選項可知，這是一道原因推理題。題目詢問為什么參觀者難以確定劍橋大學的范圍。關(guān)鍵是要聽到“這所大學的演講廳、圖書館、實驗室、博物館和辦公室遍布全城?！盌是其同義表達，故為答案。A、B、C在文中均未提及。
33. What does the passage tell us about the colleges of Cambridge University?
正確答案：B
解析：題目詢問文章講述了劍橋大學學院的什么情況。關(guān)鍵是要聽到“每個學院自主選擇學生”，B中的select對應文中的choose，故B正確。A、C、D提及的內(nèi)容都是由CambridgeUniversity而不是其下屬的colleges執(zhí)行的，因此均不正確。
34. What can be learned from the passage about the libraries in Cambridge University?
正確答案：B
解析：題目詢問根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，我們可以了解到劍橋大學圖書館的什么情況。關(guān)鍵是要聽到“大學擁有60多個專業(yè)科目圖書館?！奔碆。選項A、C的內(nèi)容文中均未提及；文中說University Library擁有英國出版的每一版書，而不是題目所指的劍橋大學里所有的圖書館，故D不正確。
35. What does the passage say about women students in Cambridge University?
正確答案：B
解析：題目詢問文章講述了劍橋大學女生的什么情況。關(guān)鍵是要聽到文章最后一句：“1881年，這所大學允許女生參加考試，但是直到1948年才授予女生學位?！奔碆。選項A的內(nèi)容文中未提及；文中說女生大約占學生總數(shù)的40%，故C錯誤；1881年并沒授予女生學位，也就是說那時學校對待她們與對待男生還是不同，故D不正確。
