【1】句意：劍橋的游客可以在大學(xué)找到以下的內(nèi)容，除了墻壁。A.圖書館；B.墻壁；C.辦公室；D.博物館。原文“But no one can give them an exact answer, for there is no wall to be found around the university.”（但沒有人可以給他們一個確切的答案，因為大學(xué)周圍沒有墻）說明游客來了劍橋是找不到圍墻的，沒有墻壁，故選B。

【2】句意：根據(jù)這篇文章，劍橋大學(xué)由31個學(xué)院組成。A. 31 ；B. 15；C. 875；D. 800。原文“And most of its members are the students and teachers of the thirty－one colleges.”（其大部分成員都是31所大學(xué)的學(xué)生和教師。）說明劍橋大學(xué)一共有31個學(xué)院，故選A。

【3】句意：這個小鎮(zhèn)得名于在Cam河上建造的橋。A.第一批學(xué)生和老師；B.在Cam河上建造的橋；C.大學(xué)的成員；D.設(shè)計橋梁的人。原文“A bridge was built over the river as early as 875. So the town got its name “Cambridge”．”（早在875年就在河上修建了一座橋。因此，該鎮(zhèn)得名“劍橋”。）說明了劍橋小鎮(zhèn)的得名的淵源，是因為cam河上的橋而得名的，故選B。

【4】句意：關(guān)于劍橋的事件的正確順序是什么？a.鐵路開通了。b. 劍橋成了一座城市。c.更多的土地用于大學(xué)建筑。d.第一批學(xué)生和老師來到了這個城鎮(zhèn)。A. a→c→b→d；B. d→a→c→b；C. b→c→a→d；D. d→c→a→b。原文“Cambridge was already a town long before the first students and teachers arrived 800 years ago.”（早在800年前第一批學(xué)生和老師到達(dá)之前，劍橋就已經(jīng)是一個小鎮(zhèn)了。）說明800年學(xué)生和老師來到這個城鎮(zhèn)。原文“In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries more and more land was for college buildings.”（在十四和十五世紀(jì)，越來越多的土地用于大學(xué)建筑。）說明14、15世紀(jì)更多土地用于大學(xué)建筑。原文“... the opening of the railway in 1845.”（...1845年鐵路的開通）說明1845年有了鐵路，原文“Cambridge became a city in 1951”（劍橋于1951年成為一座城市）說明1951年劍橋成了一座城市，所以事情的順序是dcab,故選D。

【5】句意：從這篇文章中，我們知道許多年輕學(xué)生夢想在劍橋大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)。A.該鎮(zhèn)在1845年之前增長得更快；B. 1951年，該市人口為10萬；C.許多年輕學(xué)生夢想在劍橋大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)；D.劍橋大學(xué)有1000多年的歷史。原文“Many young students in other countries expect to study at Cambridge.”（其他國家的許多年輕學(xué)生都希望在劍橋?qū)W習(xí)。）說明選項C是正確的，選項A沒有依據(jù)，選項B不正確，因為今天劍橋才有10萬人口（now it has a population of over 100，000），選項D不正確，因為800年前劍橋就有第一批老師了，故選C。

這篇閱讀出現(xiàn)了細(xì)節(jié)題目，細(xì)節(jié)題，顧名思義，就是指針對文章的某個細(xì)節(jié)而設(shè)置的試題。細(xì)節(jié)題的命題方法很多，如可能是對某個細(xì)節(jié)用同義結(jié)構(gòu)轉(zhuǎn)換后進(jìn)行考查、也可能是將文章中的幾個細(xì)節(jié)(通常是四個)放在一起要求考生判斷是非(選出正確的一項或選出錯誤的一項)或?qū)�幾個細(xì)節(jié)進(jìn)行排序等。解答這類試題時，一個常用的方法就是運(yùn)用定位法，即根據(jù)題干或選項中的線索詞從原文中找到相關(guān)的句子，與選項進(jìn)行比較從而確定答案(此時要特別注意一些常見的同義轉(zhuǎn)換)。
