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 applicants should describe their personal interests and related experiences.
Switzerland
Switzerland has four official languages and 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 native 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.
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
My name is Matthew. I’m not someone who has many secrets, because I’m a terrible liar. But there is one huge secret that I kept for years—I failed my driving test. I had never failed test before, and had never even come close. Driving made me anxious, but my parents told me I had to. They signed me up for driving lessons. I had gotten a perfect score for my written permit exam, but getting behind the wheel was a different story.
But when October 30th rolled around, my pride set in. I wanted to be like everyone else at my school, showing off the brand new license they’d gotten. Looking back on that special day, I can’t remember if I was nervous. What I do remember is starting the test, pausing at a stop sign after a few seconds, and being asked by the instructor to pull over（停靠）. I had received an auto-fail since my pause was indeed a pause and not a real stop. I wasn’t upset that I was leaving without a license, but I was scared everyone would know that I had failed. So when I got to class, I told everyone I didn’t want to take the test on my birthday.
One Friday a month later, I went to the test spot again and passed. Later that night I drove for the first time by myself, which brought to me an amazing feeling I’ve never experienced- but sill, I couldn’t imagine ever telling anyone the truth. So I didn’t. It wasn’t until midway through college that I came clean. It turned out plenty of my college friends had failed too! And gathered enough courage to speak the fact out. Yes, I had also failed.
Now I realize failure and imperfection are two things everyone has to experience, without which one couldn’t make a true man.
24．What can we learn about Matthew
A．He was a slow learner of driving. B．He relied heavily on his parents.
C．He was afraid of taking exams. D．He was bored with telling lies.
25．Why did the instructor ask Matthew to pull over
A．To put an end to his test. B．To check his parking skills.
C．To give him a second chance. D．To show him a better way of driving.
26．What made Matthew feel extremely worried after his first attempt
A．Failing to get a driving license. B．Missing his birthday celebration.
C．Making his parents disappointed. D．Losing face before his classmates
27．What did Matthew learn from his own experience
A．Honesty is the best policy. B．Failure is a way to grow up.
C．Truth stands the test of time. D．Imperfection is another form of perfection.
C
What does it mean to cry over a book “I’m a reader who did not weep.” Ruth Graham, a well-known critic, wrote. “Does this make me heartless Or does it make me a grown-up ”
Tears have played a surprisingly important part in the history of the novel. Readers have always asked about the role that emotion plays in reading: What does it mean to be deeply moved by a book Which books are worthy objects of our feelings
In different times, people answered those questions in different ways. In the 18th century, when the novel was still a new form, crying was a sign of readers’ virtue. “Sentimental” novels, full of touching scenes, gave readers an occasion to exercise their “finer feelings”. Your tear proved your susceptibility（易感性） to the suffering of others.
At that time, sentimental novels were hugely popular, but also easy to attack. Tears, after all, had no necessary connection to actual virtue, and they could be fake. There could also be too many of them. As the critic John Mullan points out, by the end of the eighteenth century, the word “sentimental” had acquired a new meaning “addicted to indulgence（沉溺） in superficial（肤浅的） emotion”—bringing it closer to the meaning that it has for us today.
In the 19th century the meaning of tears evolved in two different directions. Some writers sought to waken “higher” feelings in their readers: Victorian sentimentalists wrote touching scenes in an effort to inspire social and political reform. However, the “sensation” novel, a different type of Victorian best-seller, showed that tears could be enjoyable in themselves. Sensation novels were the forerunners（先导） of the modern thriller and mystery. Heavy on secrets, and madness, they were known for creating physical “sensations” in their readers— trembling, a fast beating heart, and tears. But these were tears without moral purpose or effect.
Today’s debate about crying while reading looks back on all of this history. The debate, in fact, is about why books matter to us, and what reading is “for”. Talking about what makes us cry is a way of talking about ourselves.
28．What was people’s attitude towards crying over novels in the early 18th century
A．Doubtful. B．Positive C．Unclear D．Worried.
29．According to the text, “sensation” novels __________.
A．were similar to the modern thriller and mystery B．were the same as sentimental novels
C．aimed for social and political reform D．tended to amuse the readers
30．How does the author present this text
A．By providing examples. B．By making comparisons.
C．By following the order of time. D．By following the order of importance.
31．What’s the best title for the text
A．Crying While Reading Through Centuries B．The History of The Novel
C．Sentimental Novels & Sensation Novels D．Why Books Matter to Us
D
In designing the robots of tomorrow, engineers have gained many of their inspirations from the kingdom of creatures, with machines that mimic the way plants and animals move and sense their environment.
In recent study, researchers at Cornell University have found that mycelia, the underground parts of mushrooms, have the ability to sense chemical and biological signals and respond to multiple inputs. By using the natural electrical signals of mycelia, the researchers found a new way to control biohybrid （生物混合） robots, which can react to their surroundings better than traditional man-made robots. With great efforts, two biohybrid robots were built: a soft robot shaped like a spider and a wheeled robot. The robots responded to mycelia’s signals by walking and rolling. They also changed their position in response to light, demonstrating the mycelia’s ability to react to outer influences.
However, finding a way to integrate mushrooms and robots requires more than just gardening and technical skills. “You have to have a background in mechanical engineering, electronics, some neurobiology （神经生物学）, and even some kind of signal processing. All these fields come together to build this kind of system,” said Shepherd, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering.
“Living systems respond to touch, light, heat and even some unknowns, like signals. This is why we believe that if we want to build future robots, they must be able to work in unexpected environments,” said Mishra, a research associate in the Organic Robotics Lab of Cornell University. “By growing mycelia into the electronics of a robot, we were able to allow the biohybrid machine to sense and respond to the environment. In this case we used light as the input, but in the future it will be chemical. The potential for future robots could be to sense soil chemistry in row crops and decide when to add more fertilizer （肥料）,” said Shepherd.
32．What does the underlined word “mimic” mean in paragraph 1
A．Control. B．Judge. C．Change. D．Copy.
33．Why are mycelia used in robot design
A．For their mushroom shape. B．For their perception and response abilities.
C．For their chemical potential. D．For their chemical and biological influences.
34．What does Shepherd emphasize about the process in paragraph 3
A．Technical skills. B．Scientific methods.
C．Subject integration. D．Innovative application.
35．Which of the following can be the potential application for future biohybrid robots
A．Monitoring soil condition. B．Designing electronic systems.
C．Replacing human experience. D．Strengthening unknown signals.

How to Teach A Child to Ride A Bike
You never forget how to ride a bike, but most of us forget how hard it was to learn. 36 . Here’s what to keep in mind when instructing little ones from two feet to two wheels.
Begin with the right equipment. Start with a bicycle that’s the right size. A newbie should be able to sit on the seat with both feet flat on the ground. If the child has been using a bike with training wheels, remove them. 37 . Long pants and long-sleeved shirts aren’t a bad idea, either, to prevent injury in the event of a fall.
38 . Head to a location that has smooth, flat, open pavement and little or no traffic to distract or endanger your child. It helps if there’s no one around too so he won’t feel self-conscious. The ideal spot A school parking lot on the weekend.
Emphasize the basics. The fundamentals of biking are balance, coasting, pedaling, and steering. To help a child learn these basic skills, remember to show how to do that in the flesh and dare to let him try. No doubt there will be more than a few stops and starts and maybe even a fall or two. 39 .
Now practice a lot. After a fair number of dry runs, it’s time to move to the big stage. Find a bike path or a little-travelled street in a residential neighbourhood. 40 . Bike along with him to check that he’s using proper safety techniques and feels comfortable pedaling in traffic.
A．Find a safe spot to learn
B．Go to practice with the child
C．Encourage him to slow down and go on
D．Show him how to share the road with cars
E．A good-quality, well-fitting helmet is also a must
F．That’s why the experience of teaching children to ride can be frustrating
G．But eventually, he will manage to ride a fair stretch without stopping or falling

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之成为一篇完整的短文。
I was a volunteer for an organization at the beginning of this year. The organization is aimed at helping children who suffer from cancer. One day, we were asked to raise money for cancer research and program funding at an event.
Since my friend Lisa was also a volunteer for the organization, I went to the event with her. There were many people at the event. After seeing our poster, some people came to us and talked with us. But few people donated money. It was a bit hot that day. Both Lisa and I got really upset.
Half an hour later, Lisa started complaining, “I don’t think we can raise much money today.”
“Don’t worry. The event lasts for three hours. There is still a lot of time left,” I said, though I also thought poorly of our plan to raise much money that day.
While Lisa and I were talking, a little boy of about seven years old came to us. He stood in front of our poster and started reading.
After a while, he asked, “What is cancer ”
I explained what cancer is. Then I said, “Many people around the world are suffering from cancer. It can be really dangerous. More research is needed to learn about it so that people with it can suffer less. That’s why we’re collecting money for it.”
“Do children suffer from cancer, too ” asked the boy.
“Yes. Many children suffer from cancer. Some of them may die. They need help,” Lisa said, and I nodded.
Hearing that, the boy became sad. Then the boy asked, “How much money have you collected ”
Both Lisa and I were embarrassed to tell him that we didn’t raise much money. At last, we said, “Not much.”
The boy looked into our donation container and only saw a few one-dollar and five-dollar bills. The boy said nothing after seeing that and left. Then some girls came to us and we started talking with them. Neither Lisa nor I thought the boy would return. However, about twenty minutes later, the boy did return.

Technology and Life
Today, I am honored to deliver a speech with the theme of “Technology and Life”.
Technology has greatly improved our daily life in many ways. First, smartphones and the internet make communication faster -we can video call anyone worldwide instantly. Second, AI tools like translation apps help break language barriers. Third, smart home devices free us from chores. Most importantly, medical technology saves lives through advanced treatments.
However, technology is a double-edged sword. While it brings convenience, overuse can lead to addiction or reduce face-to-face interaction. In my opinion, we should embrace technology wisely -using it to solve problems but not letting it control us.
Let’s enjoy tech’s benefits while staying human! Thank you!
读后续写
The boy happily ran to us, holding something tightly in his hand. Out of breath, he asked, “Would you take a donation from children ” In his hands, he clutched a few crumpled dollar bills. Lisa and I were greatly astonished that a little boy actually cared, so we asked why he wanted to donate the little money he had. The boy replied in an innocent tone, saying that he thought it was the right thing to do and that he wanted to give the money to those who needed it more. Since he couldn’t do this himself, he was grateful that we could reach out to people in need and deliver the money on his behalf.
Both Lisa and I were deeply touched. Many people were so obsessed with themselves that they became insensitive to the suffering of others. However, the little boy, young as he was, acted out of a genuine instinct of goodwill and was able to reach out without hesitation. What the boy did again evoked in me a belief in the noble quality of human empathy. Thanks to him, I reaffirmed the value of the voluntary work I was doing - to serve as a bridge, through which goodwill would be communicated and good deeds be performed.
