7 . Last July, I visited Cambridge, a historical university town in England. It is well known that Cambridge University is one of the best universities in the world, but few people know its unique university system. The trip made me know more about the school. It turned out so different from what I had expected!

At Cambridge, there are 31 colleges. These colleges are places where students live, enjoy entertainment, study at libraries and use leisure equipment. Once you enter a college, it becomes your community. Each college is different in terms of places, equipment and atmosphere (氛围). This is why, when applying to Cambridge, applicants (申请人) take great care to choose the right college for themselves. Sometimes, it is just a matter of whether it “feels right” for you.

I also had the chance to visit their Museum of Classical Archaeology (考古学). For someone who is crazy about classics (经典), Cambridge is the perfect place to come and learn from their museums. Classics have been interesting me since I was a kid, and I have developed a deep love for Greek mythology (神话) in comic books. In most museums that Cambridge has, it is easy to find exhibits (展品) that enable you to gain knowledge in any area of interest. There is a museum for almost everything you can think of, including earth sciences, art and — of course — classics.

If you ever have the chance to visit Cambridge, I would suggest visiting their museums as part of your trip. Not only would you be able to immerse yourself in the studying atmosphere, but you could enjoy the wonderful exhibits each museum offers.

1. How did the writer learn more about Cambridge University according to the passage?

A．By reading books.	B．By visiting it.
C．By watching TV.	D．By surfing the Internet.

2. Why should applicants be careful about choosing the right college?

A．Students have different interests.	B．Not all colleges are open to them.
C．The colleges are similar to each other.	D．Each college is different in its own way.

3. What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A．The writer’s deep interest in classics.

B．The great advantages of visiting Cambridge’s museums.

C．The large collection of exhibits in Cambridge’s museums.

D．The writer’s visit to the Museum of Classical Archaeology.

4. Which of the following words can be used to replace the underlined word “immerse” in the last paragraph?

A．Put.

B．Teach.

C．Value.

D．Dress.
