A Famous University Town

When we say that Cambridge is a university town we do not mean that it is a town with a university in it.

71　 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（公寓）　 72　 This was the beginning of the present day college system.

　　　 Today there are nearly thirty colleges. 　 73　 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.

　　　 　 74　 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.　　 75　 .

A. Colleges were opened so that students could live cheaply.

B. Students are not allowed to keep cars in Cambridge,

C. Many students were short of money for their education, so college towns were set up then.

D. A university town is one where there is no clear separation between the university buildings

and the rest of the city.

E. Stop in some safe place, and wait.

F. The size of Cambridge University is not so big as the town.

G. Very few students can now live in college for the whole of their course; the numbers are too great.

　　John, a famous musician, took his priceless antique violin and played it in the crowded subway station．The music from the violin was delicately streaming throughout the whole station．However, during the one-hour play, only six or seven people were truly appreciating the charming music．A three-year-old kid was so fascinated by the music that he forgot everything around．John only got 52 dollars for his work that day．

　　However, in normal days, when John is about to hold a concert, one ticket can be sold at more than 100 dollars and it is extremely hard to buy a ticket even at such a high price．Therefore, later, many passers-by in the station that day felt deeply regretful for not recognizing the famous musician and missing such a valuable but cheap music feast．

　　I have a very busy friend who had totally changed after knowing that his wife came down with incurable illness．He cooked by himself for the family and took a walk with his wife every day．Nonetheless, his wife still did not manage to conquer the illness and passed away after three months．After that, he often sighed miserably that due to his past busy life, he had missed a lot of beautiful time with his wife．But now, it is impossible to make up for it．

　　It is no use crying over spilt milk．We have missed a lot of precious things in our life without knowing to cherish them．

　　Actually, I also missed something precious before．The reason why we would have missed those precious things is less than simple：we had thought that we could still own them tomorrow．

　　Nevertheless, tomorrow is actually by no means reliable．There was a famous Buddhist monk saying that in many people's lives, they have only done two things：waiting and regretting．The result is that they were always too late to cherish what they had before they lost it．We would often claim to do something when we grow up, or when we have money or when we become old, etc．However, when we reach the condition we have expected, we could no longer realize our wish, because we have lost it by then．

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2015屆四川省高一10月月考英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

A friend is better than fortune. A friend is worse than poison in some cases. 

The two sentences above have opposite meanings and seem to be unreasonable, but they can be explained as follows: the first refers to all good friends who drive us towards good while the second all bad ones who lead us into bad ways.

　　My ideal friend is of course a good friend whose goodness is shown below — he has no bad habits, such as smoking and drinking. He lives in frugality (節(jié)儉). He studies hard so as not to waste his golden time. At home he honors his parents and loves his brothers; at school he respects his teachers and shares the feelings of his classmates. He treats those truly who are true to him. In a word, he has all the good characteristics that I don’t have. I can follow him as a model. With his help I can be free from all difficulties.

Indeed, if I have such a person as my friend, I shall never fear difficulty and I shall never know the existence of the word “failure”.

1.This passage tells us ____.

　  A. how to make friends with others         B. how to help friends

　  B. the writer has a lot to learn from his ideal friend

　  C. the writer’s ideal friend has a lot to learn from him
