阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Still seeking a destination for
your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere wall away
from your college.
King’s Art Centre
A day at the Centre could mean a
visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary
artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of
four local artists.
You could attend a class teaching
you how to ‘learn from the masters’ or get more creative with paint – free of
charge.
The Centre also runs two life
drawing classes for which there is a small fee.
The Botanic Garden
The Garden has over 8,000 plant
species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for
Cambridge University.
The multi-branched Torch Aloe here
is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves,
and is not one to miss.
Get to the display house to see
Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds
on insects and other small animals.
The Garden is also a place for
wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called
‘Hissing Sid’ is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.
Byron’s Pool
Many stories surround Lord Byron’s
time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter
complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness”. However, it seems as
though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. I’m not just
talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time
walking in the village.
It is also said that on occasion
Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron’s Pool.
A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside,
the pool is surrounded by the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the
trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for
afternoon tea. If you don’t trust me, then perhaps you’ll take it from Virginia
Woolf ,a famous writer,—over
a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.
21. The
main idea of the passage is __________.
A. interesting stories of Lord.
Byron
B. an approach to becoming
creative in art
C. the colorful life in the
countryside
D. some places for weekend break
