问题     ’ Where is the university?’ is a question many visitors to Cambridge ask, but no one can give them a clear answer for there is no wall to be found around the university. The university is the city. You can find the classroom buildings, libraries, museums and offices of the university all over the city. And most of its members are the students and teachers or professors of the thirty - one colleges. Cambridge was already a developing town long before the first students and teachers arrived 800 years ago. It grew up by the river Granta, as the Cam was once called. A bridge was built over the river as early as 875. In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries more and more land was used for college buildings. The town grew much faster in the nineteenth century after the opening of the railway in 1845. Cambridge became a city in 1951 and now it has a population(人口)of over 100, 000. Many young students want to study in Cambridge. Thousands of people from all over the world come to visit the university town. It has become a famous place all around the world.
Around what time did the university begin to appear?

选项 A、In the 9th century.
B、In the 13th century.
C、In the 15th century.
D、In the 11th century.

解析 从这句:Cambridge was already a developing town long before the first students and teachers arrived 800 years ago.可以得出800年前剑桥已经是一个发展城镇。既然这是2014年的阅读题,那八百年前是1209年,也就是十三世纪。
