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?

正确答案：B

解析：录音开头便提到“它是不列颠最美丽的地方这一”，B中的attractive与最高级表达the most beautiful同义，故B正确。短文没有提及那里的学生的生活是否舒适，故不可

选D。

27. What do tourists enjoy doing in Cambridge for relaxation?

正确答案：C

解析：短文说，“旅游者和学生们喜欢泛舟来放松自己”，可判断C（在河上泛舟）正确。

28. Why did the road traffic in Cambridge remind people of Beijing?

正确答案：D

解析：短文提到剑桥的陆上交通时，说该市让人联想到北京或阿姆斯特丹，并说“街上满是自行车，有成千上万辆之多”，可见D正确。
