Two hundred years after Charles Darwin's birth, studies have found new details of his life at the University of Cambridge. Six leather-bound ledgers (皮革賬本) discovered in the university show this.
He lived in the most expensive rooms provided for a rich student at his time.He had someone to clean his room, make his bed and take care of the fire in his bright rooms. He hired a dishwasher, a clothes washer and a man who cleaned his shoes. A tailor (裁縫), hatter and barber made sure he was well presented. A chimney cleaner and a coalman kept his fire going. Christ's College's basic food was meat and beer.
Darwin's bill topped 636 pounds during his three years of study at Cambridge. Later he described this time as the most joyful of his happy life. That large sum (金額) would have been fairly common for a student at Cambridge in the 19th century.

In those days Cambridge was full of rich students living a pretty good life and Darwin was just one of them.And thus he had plenty of time for socializing or private study. He would be out shooting, collecting beetles, doing his scientific hobbies or visiting friends. He played cards and drank wine at night, just like students always have.
A. Thanks to the richness, he was able to hire servants to help with the daily life.
B. The findings were published on the Internet.
C. So he paid five and a half pence extra each day to have vegetables.
D. He enjoyed the kind of comfortable university life that most of today's students can only dream about.
E. He had several people to help him to deal with the daily housework.
F. When you look at the ledgers, you can find there were many rich students in Cambridge.
G. The bills were paid by his wealthy father, Robert Darwin, a doctor.

（1）考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空后“ He lived in the most expensive rooms provided for a rich student at his time.”達(dá)爾文在劍橋大學(xué)讀書(shū)期間奢侈生活的介紹可推知，此處是說(shuō)達(dá)爾文享受著現(xiàn)在大多數(shù)學(xué)生所不能設(shè)想的生活。 故選D。
（2）考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)下文“He had someone to clean his room, make his bed and take care of the fire in his bright rooms. He hired a dishwasher, a clothes washer and a man who cleaned his shoes. A tailor (裁縫), hatter and barber made sure he was well presented. A chimney cleaner and a coalman kept his fire going. Christ's College's basic food was meat and beer.”達(dá)爾文雇人打掃房間，整理床鋪，照看火爐，洗餐具，洗衣服等可推知E為答案。
（3）考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空前“Christ's College's basic food was meat and beer.”可推知，此處是說(shuō)達(dá)爾文每天會(huì)多付5.5便士買(mǎi)蔬菜吃。 故選C。

（5）考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空后“And thus he had plenty of time for socializing or private study.”可推知，此處是說(shuō)幸虧達(dá)爾文可以雇人幫其處理日常事務(wù)，他才有大量的時(shí)間社交和自學(xué)。故選A。
