Section B
Passage One
Cambridge is about 90 kilometres northeast of London. [26]It is one of the most beautiful places in Britain. Everything about the city of Cambridge reminds you of its famous university: students on bicycles, the atmosphere of learning, traditions and the magnificent buildings of the 30 colleges that are in the University of Cambridge. Most of the colleges stand on the bank of the Cam River, a gentle river that flows through the heart of the city. [27]Tourists and students like boating in a kind of flat-bottom boat to see the colleges or to relax themselves. If the water traffic reminds the visitors of Venice, [28]the road traffic here is more likely to recall Beijing or Amsterdam. The streets are full of bicycles, hundreds and hundreds of them. They provide a cheap form of transport for the students and a very convenient way of getting around the streets in Cambridge.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What is the speaker's impression of Cambridge?
正確答案:B
解析:錄音開頭便提到“它是不列顛最美麗的地方這一”,B中的attractive與最高級表達the most beautiful同義,故B正確。短文沒有提及那里的學生的生活是否舒適,故不可
選D。
27. What do tourists enjoy doing in Cambridge for relaxation?
正確答案:C
解析:短文說,“旅游者和學生們喜歡泛舟來放松自己”,可判斷C(在河上泛舟)正確。
28. Why did the road traffic in Cambridge remind people of Beijing?
正確答案:D
解析:短文提到劍橋的陸上交通時,說該市讓人聯想到北京或阿姆斯特丹,并說“街上滿是自行車,有成千上萬輛之多”,可見D正確。
