Question

【题目】 “Where is the university?” This is a question that many visitors to Cambridge ask. But no one can give them an exact(精确的）answer，for there is no wall to be found around the university. The university is the city. You can find classroom buildings, libraries, museums and offices of the university all over the city. And most of its members are the students and teachers of the thirty-one colleges. Cambridge was already a town long before the first students and teachers arrived 800 years ago. It grew up by the river Cranta，and the river was once called the Cam. A bridge was built over the river as early as 875. So the town got its name “Cambridge”.

In the 14th and 15th centuries more and more land was for college buildings.

The town grew much faster in the 19th century after the opening of the railway in 1845.

Cambridge became a city in 1951 and now it has a population of over 100,000. Many young students in other countries expect to study at Cambridge. A large number of people from all over the world come to visit the university, and it is many young people’s dream to go there to study.
