Choosing a university or college
With over 160 universities to choose from in the UK, and limitless courses and study options on offer, you can make your UK university experience as unique as you are.
Understanding rankings
Higher education institutions are ranked each year by a variety of organizations. The QS World University Rankings, for example, focuses heavily on research and reputation, but doesn’t include the quality of teaching or students’ views. THE World University Rankings and the Complete University Guide focus more on research strength and student satisfaction. The People and Planet University League even ranks UK universities on their environmental and ethical performance.
How to apply—undergraduate (本科)
1. Register with UCAS
First, go to the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) website where you can fill in your application form.
Then write your personal statement. This is your chance to stand out from the crowd by explaining why you are interested in the course, the skills you have that make you suitable, and your life experiences and achievements.
2. Application deadlines
There are four application deadlines throughout the school year:
October—for courses at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, or for most courses in medicine
15 January— “on time” deadline for most undergraduate courses
March—for some art and design courses
30 June—late deadline for most undergraduate courses. While you will be able to apply after the January deadline right up until 30 June, it is better to apply early.
3. Receive an offer
UCAS will contact you with any offers from your chosen universities or colleges. If your offer is “unconditional”, you can relax. Some offers are conditional—usually this means you need to achieve certain results in your current studies or in English language tests.

1. Which of the following focuses on a university’s environmental performance?
A. The QS World University Rankings. B. THE World University Rankings.
C. The Complete University Guide. D. The People and Planet University League.
2. What should an applicant include in a personal statement?
A. Previous chances. B. Future expectations.
C. Hobbies and interests. D. Qualifications and strengths.
3. When are students advised to apply for most undergraduate courses?
A. In October. B. Before 15 January. C. In March. D. On 30 June.
【答案】1. D 2. D 3. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章简要介绍了申请英国大学本科课程的基本步骤。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。由Understanding rankings中的“The People and Planet University League even ranks UK universities on their environmental and ethical performance. (人民与星球大学联盟（People and Planet University League）甚至对英国大学的环境和道德表现进行了排名)”可知，在四个大学排行榜中，The People and Planet University League侧重于大学的环境绩效。故选D项。

Zara Rutherford, who is just 19 years old, is flying around the world by herself in a small plane. When she finishes her trip, which will take over two months, she’ll become the youngest woman to fly all the way around the globe by herself.
Ms Rutherford, who’s British-Belgian, began her trip in Belgium on August 18. She plans to fly across five continents, through 52 countries before returning to Belgium in November.
Shaesta Waiz, the current record holder, was 30 years old when she flew around the world. She says she’s happy Ms Rutherford is trying to break her record.
Ms Rutherford’s parents are both pilots, and they helped her practice. She’s been learning to fly planes since she was 14 years old. She got her pilot’s license in 2020 and has hundreds of hours of flying practice.
She’s making this trip in a small two-seater plane called a microlight. One of the seats has been replaced with an extra gas tank, which will allow Ms Rutherford to cover longer distances. The plane has had several other updates for safety, including a second radio, and satellite communications that let her talk to people whenever she needs to.
To follow her route, Ms Rutherford needs to be able to see, since her plane can’t be guided using its instruments alone. That means she can’t fly at night or in bad weather. To avoid clouds, she has to fly close to the land or ocean, which can be dangerous.
Because of the danger, Ms Rutherford worked hard to prepare for emergencies. She has even been trained in escaping from a plane landing in the ocean.
She plans to stay a night or two in each place to visit with schools and youth groups. She advises young girls to explore areas like aviation science, mathematics, and engineering. As her father points out, currently, only about 5% of pilots are women.
“It’s an easy thing to say, but just go for it,” Ms Rutherford says. “If you don’t try and see how high you can fly, then you’ll never know.”
4 What do we learn about Zara Rutherford?
A. She will stay in 52 countries. B. She will fly with her parents.
C. She is well prepared for the trip. D. She knows Shaesta Waiz well.
5. What makes Zara Rutherford’s trip very dangerous?
A. The plane’s small body. B. Lacking updates for safety.
C. Flying during the day. D. Flying at a lower height.
6. What message does Zara Rutherford try to convey to young girls?
A. Living an easy life. B. Treasuring what you have.
C Challenging difficult things. D. Struggling for better grades.
7. Which of the following can best describe Zara Rutherford?
A. Lovely and intelligent. B. Ambitious and inspiring.
C. Hardworking and modest. D. Generous and kindhearted.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了即将打破世界纪录的最年轻的环球女飞行员Zara Rutherford的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“She got her pilot’s license in 2020 and has hundreds of hours of flying practice.”(她于2020年获得了飞行员执照，并有数百小时的飞行练习。)可知，Zara Rutherford为她的驾驶飞机旅行提前做好的充分的准备。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“To avoid clouds, she has to fly close to the land or ocean, which can be dangerous.”(为了避开云层，她必须靠近陆地或海洋飞行，这可能很危险。)可知，低空飞行对Zara Rutherford来说是很危险的。故选D。
【6题详解】

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) was invented by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers. It is a self-report questionnaire indicating differing psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions. The MBTI personality inventory (量表) sorts people into 16 type categories, each of which is represented by four-letter codes such as INFP and ESTJ. Every year, about 1.5 million people have enjoyed discovering their personality type by completing the MBTI. Many companies, as well as hundreds of universities, use it in hiring and training.
Nevertheless, the MBTI has received a noticeable criticism from the academic community. Some research suggests the MBTI is unreliable because the same person can get different results when retaking the test. Other studies have questioned the validity of the MBTI, which is the ability of the test to accurately link the “types” to outcomes in the real world -for example, how well people classified as a certain type will perform in a given job.
Merve Emre, a professor a Oxford University, points out that it would be more scientifically advisable to score the MBTI scales continuously to show people the degree to which they resemble the types. Even when the MBTI’s results don’t quite match your intuition (直觉) about yourself or are just wrong, they can still provide self-insight and insight into differences and similarities between people.
Scoring and interpreting the MBTI the way other personality inventories are scored and interpreted might be less fun than finding. All of the folklore (民间看法) about INFPs, ESTJs, etc. would have to be dismissed. But, in the end the MBTI is sufficiently reliable and valid enough to be useful in a number of real-world contexts.
8. What do we know about the MBTI from the first paragraph?
A. It is a personality-testing tool. B. It is divided into 16 categories.
C. It is a study of personal preference. D. It is a questionnaire on four-letter codes.
9. Why does the MBTI invite criticism?
A. It performs badly in job interviews B. Its reliability has been questioned.
C. It requires people to retake the test D. Its advantages are not fully shown.
10. What does Merve Emre think of the MBTI?
A. It is beyond criticism. B. It is a more scientific test.
C. It is less fun than other tests. D. It is useful for self-exploration.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. How Can We Use the MBTI? B. Why do We Criticise the MBTI?
C. Is the MBTI Totally Meaningless? D. Is Scoring the MBTI Really Necessary?
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了目前火爆全球的MBTI性格测试工具，分析了其利弊，作者最终对此持赞同生态度。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“It is a self-report questionnaire indicating differing psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions. (这是一份自我报告问卷，显示了人们在如何感知世界和做出决定方面的不同心理偏好)”以及“Every year, about 1.5 million people have enjoyed discovering their personality type by completing the MBTI. (每年，大约1500万人通过完成MBTI测试发现了自己的性格类型)”可知，MBTI是一个性格测试工具。故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Some research suggests the MBTI is unreliable because the same person can get different results when retaking the test. Other studies have questioned the validity of the MBTI. (一些研究表明MBTI是不可靠的，因为同一个人在重新参加测试时可能得到不同的结果。其他研究对MBTI的有效性提出了质疑)”可知，MBTI的可靠性遭到了很多机构的质疑，所以它受到了很多的批判。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Even when the MBTI’s results don’t quite match your intuition (直觉) about yourself or are just wrong, they can still provide self-insight and insight into differences and similarities between people. (即使MBTI的结果与你对自己的直觉不太匹配，或者是错误的，它们仍然可以提供自我洞察力，以及对人与人之间的差异和相似之处的洞察力)”可知，Merve Emre认为MBTI仍然可以作为自我探索的有用的工具。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。纵观全文，第一段介绍了MBTI；第二段介绍了其由于不太可靠的结果而遭受了很多学术机构的质疑和批评；第三段引用了牛津大学教授的观点，认为其还是可以作为自我探索的有用的工具；以及最后一段，讲述了MBTI还是有一定的作用的。由此可知，全篇文章在讨论MBTI是否有作用。C项“Is the MBTI Totally Meaningless? (MBTI完全没有意义吗？)”适合作本文最佳标题。故选C项。
D
Scientists based in Japan’s Osaka University have found a way to 3D print wagyu beef (和牛) in a lab—a step they believe will one day help make widely available and sustainably-produced cuts of cultured meat that is very similar to original products.
Using cells that they took from wagyu cows, the Japanese scientists set out to create a structure with the special feature seen in wagyu beef that makes it different from other cuts of beef. By isolating beef cells, the scientists organized how muscles, fat and other cells should be placed. The researchers then shaped these tissues (组织) into the form of a steak using a technique called 3D bioprinting (生物打印), where cell structures can be made to look like real tissues in living things. The researchers believe that the development could be a big step toward a sustainable future. Its origins from real meat also make it different from plant-based options.
“By improving this technology, it will be possible to not only reproduce complex meat structures, but also make small adjustments to the fat and muscle components,” Michiya Matsusaki, one of the project’s researchers, said excitedly in a statement. Michiya added that with these adjustments, more customers might one day be able to order a cultured cut of meat with the amount of fat they like, tailor-made to their tastes and health concerns.
Wagyu beef is known to be extremely expensive, with high-grade wagyu fetching prices of up to $200 per pound and adult cows selling for more than $30, 000. In 2019, Japan’s wagyu exports ranked in a record high of $268.8 million in profits, up 20% from 2018.
While this might be the first cut of wagyu beef ever to be 3D-printed, other attempts have been made to bio-print steaks. In February this year, Aleph Farms and the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering at the Israel Institute of Technology jointly bio-printed and cultivated a rib eye steak using real cow cells.
12. What does the underlined word “cultured” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Nutritious. B. Educated. C. Man-made. D. Natural.
13. What can we know about the printed wagyu beef according to paragraph 2?
A. It tastes exactly like real wagyu beef.
B. It uses real cow cells for the first time.
C. It has a cell arrangement decided by scientists.
D. It has already been sustainably produced by plants.
14. What is the attitude of the Japanese researcher towards the future of 3D printed beef?
A. Positive. B. Neutral. C. Unclear. D. Negative.
15. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A. It is impossible to make meat to the need of the customers.
B. More researches are done to make 3D bio-printing mature.
C. Japanese scientists are the first in the world to bio-print steaks.
D. Reproducing more complex meal structures has already come true.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明科学家通过3D打印技术来制作和牛牛排，介绍其操作过程以及这一技术的重要意义和作用。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Scientists based in Japan’s Osaka University have found a way to 3D print wagyu beef (和牛) in a lab (日本大阪大学的科学家找到了一种在实验室中3D打印和牛的方法。)”及第二段“Using cells that they took from wagyu cows, the Japanese scientists set out to create a structure with the special feature seen in wagyu beef that makes it different from other cuts of beef. (利用他们从和牛身上取出的细胞，日本科学家着手创造一种具有和牛特殊特征的结构，使其与其他牛肉不同。)”可知，3D打印和牛是人造的。故推知cultured表示“人造的”，与man-made意义一致，故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Using cells that they took from wagyu cows, the Japanese scientists set out to create a structure with the special feature seen in wagyu beef that makes it different from other cuts of beef. By isolating beef cells, the scientists organized how muscles, fat and other cells should be placed. The researchers then shaped these tissues (组织) into the form of a steak using a technique called 3D bioprinting (生物打印), where cell structures can be made to look like real tissues in living things. The researchers believe that the development could be a big step toward a sustainable future. Its origins from real meat also make it different from plant-based options. (利用他们从和牛身上取出的细胞，日本科学家着手创造一种具有和牛特殊特征的结构，使其与其他牛肉不同。通过分离牛肉细胞，科学家们组织了肌肉，脂肪和其他细胞的排列方式。然后，研究人员使用一种称为3D生物打印的技术将这些组织塑成牛排的形状，其中细胞结构可以看起来像生物中的真实组织。研究人员认为，这一发展可能是迈向可持续未来的一大步。它源自真正的肉类也使其与植物源性食物不同。)”可知，第二段并未提及3D打印和牛的味道，A项错误。文章并未提及是否是第一次使用真牛细胞，B项错误。科学家们组织了肌肉，脂肪和其他细胞的排列方式。故推知3D打印和牛的细胞排列是由科学家决定的，C项正确。3D打印和牛源自真正的肉类，并没有由植物可持续地生产，D项错误。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““By improving this technology, it will be possible to not only reproduce complex meat structures, but also make small adjustments to the fat and muscle components,” Michiya Matsusaki, one of the project’s researchers, said excitedly in a statement. Michiya added that with these adjustments, more customers might one day be able to order a cultured cut of meat with the amount of fat they like, tailor-made to their tastes and health concerns. (该项目的研究人员之一Michiya Matsusaki在一份声明中兴奋地说：“通过改进这项技术，不仅可以复制复杂的肉类结构，还可以对脂肪和肌肉成分进行小的调整”。Michiya补充说，通过这些调整，有一天更多的顾客可能会订购他们喜欢的脂肪含量的培养肉，根据他们的口味和健康问题量身定制。)”可知，日本的研究员认为将来会有更多消费者购买3D打印牛肉，对这项产品很支持。故推知日本的研究员对3D打印牛肉的将来持积极的态度，故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Wagyu beef is known to be extremely expensive, with high-grade wagyu fetching prices of up to $200 per pound and adult cows selling for more than $30, 000. In 2019, Japan’s wagyu exports ranked in a record high of $268.8 million in profits, up 20% from 2018. (众所周知，和牛非常昂贵，高档和牛的价格高达每磅200美元，成年牛肉的价格超过30000美元。2019年，日本和牛出口利润达到2.688亿美元，比2018年增长20%，创历史新高。)”及最后一段“While this might be the first cut of wagyu beef ever to be 3D-printed, other attempts have been made to bio-print steaks. In February this year, Aleph Farms and the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering at the Israel Institute of Technology jointly bio-printed and cultivated a rib eye steak using real cow cells. (虽然这可能是有史以来第一块3D打印的和牛，但已经进行了其他生物打印牛排的尝试。今年2月，Aleph Farms和以色列理工学院的生物医学工程学院联合进行生物打印并培育了一种使用真牛细胞的眼肉牛排。)”可知，和牛价格昂贵，需求量大，市场占比很高，除了3D打印和牛，科学家也进行了其他生物打印牛排的尝试。故推知为了使3D生物打印成熟，为了3D打印更多食物，进行了更多的研究。故选B。

Last winter, Linda went through a very messy divorce and was very depressed. So she quit her job and left Los Angeles, where she encountered her ex-husband in college. She flew to Boston on the east coast of the US. Later, she settled in a new neighborhood in East Boston. However, shortly afterwards, the company where she worked went bankrupt (破产). Suffering a series of bitter blows, she fell ill, a severe case of flu. She had to stay at home for the whole week, feeling extremely bad and hopeless.
Early one morning, Linda lay in bed, feeling painful all over. Then all of a sudden, there was an upsetting knock on her front door. Struggling out of the bed, she dragged herself to the window. There, outside, she saw a young lady carefully holding some leaflets(传单)and a TV set model. She knew of a large TV set establishment nearby and assumed a message was about to be gently delivered. “This is the last thing I need today.” She muttered to herself and hesitantly opened the door.
Coughing bitterly, Linda stuck her head out. “Excuse me, madam…” the young lady said with a smile. “I’m sorry but I am not the slightest bit interested in any TV whatever.” Linda interrupted her impatiently. “As a matter of fact, I am feeling terribly awful.” “Is there anything I can do for you, madam?” the young lady asked with concern. “No thanks, just leave me alone.” Linda then shut the door in her face. The young lady politely turned and left in silence.

Before Linda could utter any word, the young lady handed her a warm pot, with a concerned look on the face. “I’m so sorry to have disturbed you earlier. I thought you may need this homemade chicken soup. Hope it might make you feel a little better. ”
Linda was surprised by this lovely action. After being refused so rudely, the lady still showed much kindness to her. A sense of shame creeping upon her heart, she could only force a smile with burning ears. But also, a warm current surged through her brain and body. Linda took the chicken soup gratefully, tears blurring her eyes and a lump in her throat. The lady wrapped Linda in her arms and patted her on the back. “It’s OK, dear. Everything will be fine.” Hearing these words, Linda felt a ray of bright sunshine lighting up her life.
