• 1．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 ﹩20．
  
  （1）Which country requires international applicants know French well？

  
  A．UK．
  B．Switzerland．
  C．Canada．
  D．Singapore．
  （2）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．
  （3）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．

• 2．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．
  
  （1）Which of the following can best replace "whined" in Paragraph 3？

  
  A．burst out．
  B．gave in．
  C．returned．
  D．complained．
  （2）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．
  （3）How did the writer feel about the Chinese way of teaching？

  
  A．Candy-coated．
  B．Weakness-focused．
  C．Interest-driven．
  D．Criticism-absent．
  （4）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．

• 3．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．
  
  （1）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．
  （2）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．
  （3）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．
  （4）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．
