A
An increasing number of students worldwide are considering studying abroad. The application process varies from country to country. If you’re looking for a university with a strong international outlook but feel swept over by all the application options, here is some guidance to get you started.
UK
International students must apply to universities in the UK through a system known as Ucas.
This system allows students to apply to up to five universities with just one application. It costs
£20 for a single choice or £25 for more than one choice.
The application consists of a series of questions to determine the student’s schooling and
predicted grades. The biggest part of the application form is the personal statement, in which
applicants should describe their personal interests and related experiences.
Switzerland
Switzerland has four official languages and is bordered by five countries so it is no surprise
that its universities are among the most international in the world. International applicants may
need to take an entrance exam if they have a foreign school certificate, and must also prove that
they have a good grasp of the French language, usually through taking a language exam. The full
application costs 50 Swiss Francs for a holder of a Swiss diploma and 150 Swiss Francs for
holders of foreign diplomas.
Canada
International applicants have to write up a personal profile as part of their application, which
is very similar to the personal statement required for a UK university application. Students will
also have to prove their English-language competency—there are nine ways to meet the English
Language Admission Standard, which are listed on many university websites.
Singapore
The process of applying to a Singaporean university is very much alike, but overseas students
may be delighted to find that the domestic applicants have to cover the same procedures: filling
out an online application form and submit identification documents, supporting documents and an
application fee of S$20.
21. Which country requires international applicants know French well?
A. UK. B. Switzerland.
C. Canada. D. Singapore.
22. What part of the application is similar between the UK and Canada?
A. The application system.
B. The number of universities.
C. The application cost.
D. The personal statement.
23. What’s special about the application process in Singapore?
A. Applicants need to pay a lot.
B. It is much simpler than elsewhere.
C. It’s no different for native students.
D. The competition is even more fierce.
B
One day after more than a month of classes, I read aloud a paragraph from my book, recognizing all of the characters smoothly except for one. I sat back and started to register the achievement: I was actually reading Chinese. The language was starting to make sense. But before the sense of satisfaction was half formed, Teacher Liao said, “Budui!”
It meant, literally, “Not correct.” You could also translate it as no, wrong, nope, uh-uh. Flatly and clearly incorrect. There were many Chinese words that I didn’t know, but I knew that one well.
A voice in my head whined: All of the rest of them were right; isn’t that worth something? But for Teacher Liao it didn’t work like that. If one character was wrong it was simply budui.
“What’s this word?” I asked, pointing at the character I had missed.
“Zhe — the zhe in Zhejiang.”
“Third tone?”
“Fourth tone.”
I breathed deeply and read the section again, and this time I did it perfectly. That was a victory — I turned to Teacher Liao and my eyes said (or at least I imagined them saying): How do you like me now? There seemed to be some satisfaction in her eyes, but she simply said, “Read the next one.”
It was her way of teaching. Success was expected and failure criticized and immediately corrected. You were right or you were budui; there was no middle ground.
I grew to hate budui. The bu was a rising tone and the dui dropped abruptly, like building my confidence and then breaking down all at once. And it bothered me all the more because I knew that Teacher Liao was only telling the truth: everything I did with the language was budui. I was an adult, and as an adult I should be able to accept criticism where it was needed. But that wasn’t the American way; I wanted to be praised for my effort; I didn’t mind criticism as long as it was candy-coated. In China, the single B on the report card matters much more than all the As that surround it. Keep working; you haven’t achieved anything yet.
And so I studied. I was frustrated but I was also stubborn; I was determined to show Teacher Liao that I was dui.
24. Which of the following can best replace “whined” in Paragraph 3?
A. burst out. B. gave in.
C. returned. D. complained.
25. What did the writer expect from Teacher Liao after he tried again?
A. Immediate correction.
B. A new challenge.
C. An encouraging response.
D. A strict comment.
26. How did the writer feel about the Chinese way of teaching?
A. Candy-coated.
B. Weakness-focused.
C. Interest-driven.
D. Criticism-absent.
27. What can we infer from the text?
A. The writer was struggling with Liao’s teaching.
B. The American way of teaching is better for adults.
C. The writer was not gifted in language learning.
D. Teacher Liao was not friendly with her students.
C
In the winter of 1664-65, a bitter cold fell on London in the days before Christmas. Above the
city, an unusually bright comet (彗星) shot across the sky, exciting much prediction of a snow
storm. Outside the city wall, a woman was announced dead of a disease that was spreading in that
area. Her house was locked up and the phrase “Lord Have Mercy On Us” was painted on the door
in red.
By the following Christmas, the virus that had killed the woman would go on to kill nearly
100,000 people living in and around London — almost a third of those who did not flee.
In The Great Plague (瘟疫), historian A. Lloyd Moote and microbiologist Dorothy C. Moote
provide a deeply informed account of this plague year. Reading the book, readers are taken from
the palaces of the city’s wealthiest citizens to the poor areas where the vast majority of Londoners
were living, and to the surrounding countryside with those who fled. The Mootes point out that,
even at the height of the plague, the city did not fall into chaos. Doctors, nurses and the church
staff remained in the city to care for the sick; city officials tried their best to fight the crisis with all
the legal tools; and commerce continued even as businesses shut down.
To describe life and death in and around London, the authors focus on the experiences of nine
individuals. Through their letters and diaries, the Mootes offer fresh descriptions of key issues in
the history of the Great Plague: how different communities understood and experienced the
disease; how medical, religious, and government bodies reacted; how well the social order held
together; the economic and moral dilemmas people faced when debating whether to flee the city;
and the nature of the material, social, and spiritual resources supporting those who remained.
Based on humanity (人性), the authors offer a masterful portrait of a city and its inhabitants
attacked by — and daringly resisting — unimaginable horror.
28. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. A comet always follows a storm.
B. London was under an approaching threat.
C. London was prepared for the disease.
D. The woman was the beginning of the disease.
29. What do the Mootes say about London during the Great Plague?
A. The city remained organized.
B. The plague spared the rich areas.
C. The people tried a lot in vain.
D. The majority fled and thus survived.
30. Why do the Mootes focus on the nine individuals?
A. They were famous people in history.
B. They all managed to survive the Plague.
C. They provided vivid stories of humanity.
D. They united by thinking and acting as one.
31. What’s the purpose of this text?
A. To introduce a new book.
B. To correct a misunderstanding.
C. To report a new research.
D. To show respect to the authors.
D
Rivers are the veins of the Earth, transporting the water and nutrients (营养物) needed to
support the planet’s ecosystems, including human life. While many nutrients are essential to the
survival of life, there is one element transported by water in rivers that holds the key to life and to
the future of our planet — carbon.
Carbon is everywhere and understanding the way it moves and is either released or stored by
the Earth system is a complex science in itself. Carbon starts its journey downstream when natural
acid rain, which contains carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, melts minerals in rocks. This
helps transform carbon dioxide to bicarbonate ( 碳酸氢盐 ) in the water that then flows in our rivers.
This is a very long process, which is one of the main ways carbon dioxide is removed from the
atmosphere. Carbon is transported by rivers to oceans and once that carbon reaches the ocean, it is
stored naturally in deep sea sediments ( 沉淀物 ) for millions of years.
As carbon travels down a river, different processes may impact whether it continues to flow
downstream or whether it is released into the atmosphere. For example, human engineering, like
extensive dam construction, will result in dramatic changes to how water and sediments travel
down the river. Some carbon that fails to reach the sea may return to the atmosphere in some way,
which causes more warming.
Earth’s climate is closely related to the carbon cycle. We all know about the essential role of
plants in consuming carbon dioxide, but do we know enough about rivers? Changing the
chemistry and the course of rivers may have significant impacts on how they transport carbon.
Remember: wherever we live, we all live downstream.
32. Where is the carbon in rivers originally from?
A. The atmosphere. B. The rocks.
C. The acid rain. D. The upstream areas.
33. Why is human engineering mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. To show how important to life carbon is.
B. To explain how necessary it is to build dams.
C. To show how a natural process is interrupted.
D. To explain how humans fight global warming.
34. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. We’d better move upstream to live.
B. We should protect plants along rivers.
C. We’d better seek more help from plants.
D. We should be cautious about river management.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. What Humans Do with Rivers
B. How Rivers’ Transporting Carbon Counts
C. What the Carbon Cycle Means to Us
D. How Living Downstream Affects the Earth

第二节 书面表达
One possible version:
Dear Peter,
I’m so glad to hear from you and know about what you are doing these days. I’m writing to
tell you how our schooling is now going on.
Actually, we are having e-learning at home, studying in the “classroom in the air” all the
academic and non-academic subjects. The holiday schedule runs from 8:00 am till 4:30 pm on
work day, with more and longer breaks for rest than usual.
Personally, I’ve got used to online learning, which I think is a creative form of schooling, and
also our own way to fight the COVID-19 epidemic. We’ve come to realize how important
computers and mobile phones have become to us! But I really miss the days with my friends and
teachers on campus. That’s why I pray for the end of the epidemic every day, and I believe it’ll
soon come.
Best wishes,
Yours,
Li Hua
