Question

1. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:

1 University of Cambridge is an institution of higher education, the second-oldest

university in the United Kingdom after the University of Oxford. It is located in the

city of Cambridge, Cambridge shire.

2 The University of Cambridge is a loose confederation of academic faculties and

departments, and 31 colleges. There are over 15,500 full-time students taught at the

university: 11,000 undergraduates and 4,500 graduates. Although the colleges and

the university per se are separate bodies, all are parts of an integrated educational

entity. The university examines candidates for degrees during their residency and

at the conclusion of their studies; confers degrees; regulates the curricula of the

colleges and the system of education; deals with disciplinary problems; and

administers facilities, such as libraries, lecture rooms, and laboratories that are

beyond the scope of the colleges. The colleges provide their students with lodgings

and meals, assign tutors, and offer social, cultural, and athletic activities. Every

student at the University of Cambridge is a member of a college.

3 The academic year is divided into three terms of approximately eight weeks

each. Michaelmas (autumn), Lent (late winter), and Easter (spring). Students are

required to be in residence for the duration of each term. Much of the year's work

is done, however, out of term time, during the holidays. Students usually study

under the supervision of members of the college's faculties, who maintain close

relationships with the small groups of students in their charge and assist them in

preparing for university exams.

4 Bachelor of Arts degrees may be conferred, upon the satisfactory completion of

exams, after nine terms, or three years of residency. The majorities of students are

candidates for honours degrees and take a special examination called a tripod

(named after the three-legged stools on which examiners formerly sat). Successful

candidates for tripods are classified as first, second, or third class according to their

standing. Other degrees conferred by the university include the Master of Arts and

Doctor of Philosophy degrees, as well as higher doctorates in law, medicine,

music, science, and theology.

5 The University of Cambridge figured prominently in the Protestant Reformation

in the 16th century. The Dutch scholar Desiderius Erasmus was a professor of

Greek and divinity at Cambridge from 1511 to 1514 and translated the New

Testament from Greek into Latin there; the religious reformers William Tyndale,

Hugh Latimer, and Thomas Cranmer were educated at Cambridge. As a result of

the decrees of Henry VIII establishing the Church of England, the humanistic

method of study replaced the scholastic. Canon law studies were ended, publiclectures in Latin and Greek were held, and the Bible was studied in the light of

contemporary learning.
