听力原文:Cambridge, best known as the affluent university town crammed with leading academ

听力原文: Cambridge, best known as the affluent university town crammed with leading academics, intellectuals and some of the nation's brightest students, has been awarded a rather less enviable accolade -- the smoking capital of Britain. The typical household in Cambridge spends a staggering £2,183 on tobacco every year- the equivalent to smoking 25 cigarettes a day. By contrast, Bracknell, in Berkshire, is the most abstemious. There, households spend a mere £183 a year on tobacco, smoking an average of just two cigarettes a day.

The figures are contained in a report, published this week, which examines spending habits by postcode across the UK. Why Cambridge should top such an unhealthy league table has baffled researchers. As John Reid, the Secretary of State for Health, tried to explain last week, smoking is the addiction of choice for Britain's working classes and highest consumption is usually found in the poorest areas of the country -- three suburbs of Liverpool make the top 10. Students may be one answer to Cambridge's position -- as anybody who has entered the university's myriad common rooms and student bars and witnessed the dense fug of smoke may attest.

Patrick Tate, principal researcher at CACI, the company behind the findings, said, "It is a weird anomaly. It doesn't tell us why it is happening but perhaps it is to do with the number of students."

What are the most prominent features of Cambridge according to the passage?

A.Busy, wealthy and intellectual.

B.Busy, wealthy and traditional.

C.Busy, abstemious and traditional.

D.Busy, intellectual and socially deprived.

听力原文: Cambridge must be one of the best-known towns in the world, and can be found on most tourists' lists of places to visit. The main reason for its fame is its universities which started during the 13th century and grew steadily. Until today there are more than twenty colleges.

In the 1960s, most colleges opened their doors to both men and women. Almost all the colleges are now mixed, but it will be many years before there are equal numbers of both sexes.

A.Because it is a favorite place for tourists.

B.Because it has a famous university.
