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 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 at 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.
What does "its" refer to (指的是…) in "most of its members are?"

选项 A、The museum of office.
B、The people in Cambridge.
C、The University of Cambridge.

答案C

解析 此处为承前指代,从上下文不难看出,its实指剑桥大学,故答案为C。该题考查推测词义。
