There are so many 2 in London that one cannot drive along the roads quickly and without many stops. The underground is therefore 3 quicker than taxis or buses. If you do not know London well it is very difficult to find the 4 you want. You can take a taxi, but it is much more 5 than the underground or a bus. On the underground you may find good 6 , which tell you the names of the stations and 7 you how to get to them, so that it is easy to find your 8 .Let us suppose that I have just arrived 9 London from France. My train 10 at Victoria Station in London, and I want to go to Cambridge. I therefore have to get from Victoria Station to Liverpool Street Station. If I have a lot of luggage, I have to take a taxi, 11 , as I have already said, is much more expensive than a bus or the underground. If I have not much luggage 12 me (perhaps I have sent it to Cambridge, where I will 13 it later), I can go 14 some stairs from Victoria Station to the underground station, enter an electric train there, and go along under the ground to Liverpool Street Station, where I will again come out into the light of day to 15 my journey.1.

Tourists from the United Kingdom make up the bulk（主体）of visitors to Scotland. In 2021, for example, UK visitors made 18.5 million visits to Scotland, staying 64.5 million nights and spending 3.7 billion. In contrast, overseas residents made 1.58 million visits to Scotland, staying 15 million nights and spending 806 million.

Many people are drawn by the culture of Scotland.The cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow are increasingly being seen as a cosmopolitan（全世界的）alternative to Scotland?s countryside, with visitors year round, but the main tourist season is generally from April to October inclusive.

The world famous universities, Oxford and Cambridge, are the oldest ones dating from 1167 and 1284. Of cabinet ministers (内阁部长) who went to universities, nearly all went to one or the other of these two, and to Oxford in particular. Oxford gets started in the twelfth century. It has twenty-three ordinary colleges for men, five for women, which about 12,000 students in all. There is no single building which can be called “the University” and no definite area which could be called a “campus” becau se the colleges and university buildings are scattered (分散) about the town. The university prescribes syllabi (规定教学大纲), arranges examinations and awards degrees. Part of the teaching is by means of lectures organized by the university; any student may attend any university lecture. The average don(教师)gives one or two lectures a week on a subject which is his special field of interest.At the beginning of each term a list is published showing all the lectures being given during the term. Every student can choose the lectures he likes. Attendance at university lectures is not compulsory (要求的，强迫的) and no records of attendance are kept. Apart from lectures teaching is by means of the “tutorial system” (导师制), which is one of the two Oxford and Cambridge features that are widely admired and are being gradually extended to other universities. Each student gets personal tuition once a week in his or her tutor?s own room, sitting in an armchair and reading out an essay which he or she and the tutor then discuss. This, with a weekly program of private study, is considered so important at Oxford and Cambridge that students are not even compelled (强迫) to attend general lectures, which must therefore be of high quality if they are to attract a large student audience.6. “There is no single building which can be called the University? ” means .A. there isn?t any building in the universit yB. the buildings are scattered about the university townC. the buildings can only be found in the campusD. there isn?t any university or campus there7. From the passage we can infer that .A. it?s very easy to study in Oxford or Cam bridgeB. teaching in Oxford or Cambridge is an easy jobC. the students have freedom to choose the lectures he likesD. the students attend lectures only at the beginning of each term8. Which of the following statements about “tutorial system” is NOT true?A. Each student has personal tuition every week.B. Each student has to visit his or her tutor sitting in an armchair and chatting with the tutor.C. Students are not forced to attend general lectures.D. Private study is considered to be very important in Oxford and Cambridge.9.
