A Guide to British University Admission
Brief Background: The United Kingdom, which consists of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, is home to 162 higher education institutions offering postsecondary degree programs. 2017-2026 listed four British institutions among the top 20 universities in the world: The University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, and University College London.
Good to Know: A bachelor's degree in England, Northern Ireland, and Wales can be completed in three years; in Scotland, four years is standard. Students who are unsure of what they want to study might want to focus on Scottish universities, as these allow students to explore additional subjects during their first year. Students should weigh this additional flexibility against the cost of four-year degree.
Academic Calendar: UK academic years run from September to May, with breaks mid-December to early January and in March to late-April. Major exam periods are usually in January and May.
Deadlines: The application season opens on September 1st. January 15th is the equal consideration deadline for all other UK universities, which students are encouraged to meet. Some institutions, however, may accept applications after the equal consideration deadline, and up to as late as six weeks before the course starts.
Application Fees: UCAS charges applicants 13 pounds for one course, or a total of 24 pounds for multiple courses, up to five.
Admission Requirements: Entry requirements for UK institutions are generally transparent and direct, and can be found on university websites or by contacting individual admission offices. Any applicant can easily confirm the minimum GPA, test scores, and other requirements for admission.
Upon Acceptance: UK universities are usually able to offer admission electronically within two months after an application. Students may be admitted unconditionally or conditionally.
An unconditional offer means that the student has no conditions to meet and has a place at the institution if they choose to accept it. A conditional offer is the most common offer made to both UK and international students. If a student has a conditional offer, this means there are certain requirements drafted by the institution that the student must meet to be admitted, such as obtaining a certain final exam score or certain GPA. These offers are on the legal part of the university.
Tuition and Fees: Each university sets its own fees. One-year tuition fees for international students range from about 10,000 to 21,000 pounds per year, with the exception of medical courses which can be up to 38,000 pounds per year.
51.The passage is probably written by ____.

A. Their bachelor's degrees only take three years.
B. Students can try different subjects in the first year.
C. The total cost of schooling is much lower.
D. They have the longer academic holidays.
53.According to the passage, UCAS refers to ____.
A. a famous university in the UK

At 6 feet 7 inches, Will Allen was a natural at basketball and saw his future in the sport. As an All-American player in high school, he received over a hundred scholarship offers and chose the University of Miami, becoming the school's first African American athlete in 1967.
Leaving the family farm outside Washington, DC, for college, Allen swore he'd never return to farming. After college, he turned professional, got married, had children and played basketball in Europe, living in Belgium. There, he reconnected with farming, inspired by local farmers' natural methods.
Upon returning to the US, Allen took a sales job in Milwaukee, but soon started growing food on his wife's family land. In 1993, he bought a small farm in Milwaukee, planning to use it as a community center for growing food and training kids.
Allen initially focused on understanding the community's challenges with accessing healthy food. He established a farm stand to sell affordable produce and taught basketball tricks to neighborhood kids, gaining their trust and support.
With funding from a local church, Allen employed neighborhood teenagers to help develop the farm. They began by creating new soil through composting, using waste from breweries, grocery stores and coffee sellers, which also helped these businesses reduce disposal costs. Allen introduced vermiculture, using worms to produce high-quality fertilizer.
Today, the Growing Power Community Food Center is a model urban farm, feeding 2,000 people on just two acres. It features greenhouses growing various vegetables, composting systems to heat the greenhouses, and livestock. Neighborhood kids visit for tours and workshops, learning about soil preparation, planting and animal care.
The farm also houses tilapia fish, using their waste to fertilize plants in a closed-loop system that functions like a forest ecosystem, where nothing is wasted. Allen's organization has expanded to Chicago, managing city farms and teaching kids to grow food. At the Grant Park farm in downtown Chicago, they grow over 150 varieties of vegetables, herbs and edible flowers. They also run garden projects in schools.
People come from around the world to learn Allen's urban farming techniques. He travels globally, helping communities grow food efficiently. Allen envisions vertical farming: multi-storied buildings angled toward the sun, growing food on every floor. "Growing food is powerful," Allen says. "It can change the world!"
56.What was the main reason Allen left farming initially
A. He found it unprofitable.
B. He was not skilled in farming.
C. He wanted to pursue a career in sports.
D. He wanted a better life for his family.
57.How did Allen earn trust and support from his community
A. By offering free farm products.
B. By teaching basketball skills.
C. By hiring teenagers to help on the farm.
D. By cooperating with the local businesses.
58.How can the Growing Power Community Food Center be best described
A. Educational and automated.
B. Traditional and collaborative.
C. Diverse and profit-driven.
D. Community-focused and sustainable.
59.Which of the following is NOT the way Allen used to improve soil
A. Making compost with different waste.
B. Raising worms to make fertilizer.
C. Using fish waste to feed plants.
D. Buying chemical fertilizer from markets.
60.Which would be the best title for the text
A. The growth of urban farming
B. One man's fight against food inequality
C. Managing community farming projects
D. Transforming communities with urban farming
C
For decades, scientists hypothesized that cognitively demanding tasks, such as writing or solving math problems, require more energy than easier tasks like scrolling short videos on the phone or looking out of the window. However, recent research proves the view wrong. Our brains perform massively complex and metabolically costly computations all day long. "Whether you're engaged in a cognitively demanding task at work or you're staring off into space, your brain is using roughly the same amount of energy," says neuroscientist Todd Braver of Washington University in St. Louis.
In fact, what feels more challenging is when a task requires the brain to go against its usual habits.
Cognitively demanding work often requires the coordination of many different brain regions in novel patterns, while silencing circuits that frequently fire together. Studies have found that pushing against our brain's habits triggers an emotional response, making us feel uncomfortable. "It's aversive, and it just feels bad," says Michael Inzlicht, a psychologist from the University of Toronto. But he points out that emotional responses are subjective: they are interpretations of sensations in our bodies and brains. And we can influence how much we pay attention to these sensations and even how we interpret them.
We often overestimate the struggle and pain required to complete cognitive tasks. This initial overestimation can lead us to procrastinate, or even avoid the task altogether.
Studies suggest that if we can get past that initial hurdle of starting a task, then thinking becomes easier. One way to do that is to pay attention to the benefits instead of the efforts required. In a study published in the journal Science in 2020, Andrew Westbrook, a neuroscientist at Rutgers University, and his colleagues gave participants the choice of solving an easy memory puzzle for a small amount of money or a much harder puzzle for more money. The options were displayed on a screen, and participants' eye movements were tracked as they decided which puzzle to attempt. When people spent more time looking at the reward for the challenging puzzle, they were more likely to choose it. If our mind's eye, or our attentional focus, is on the benefits of an option, over time we're more likely to choose to do hard things.
Performing complex mental tasks will also be less painful if the exertion of mental effort is habituated. When we don't have to make a decision to focus every day, we save ourselves considering the costs or consequences. To make cognitively demanding tasks a habit, try to do them every day at the same time and in the same place. Add a ritual before the work starts, such as turning off the phone and launching an app to block distracting websites. After a few weeks, concentrating deeply won't just feel easier, it will actually be easier.
61. Why do people tend to feel certain cognitive tasks demanding
A. Because they consume much more brain energy.
B. Because they involve more complex computations.
C. Because they are objectively much more difficult.
D. Because they require new brain region teamwork.
62.What does the underlined word "hurdle" in paragraph 6 mean
A. barrier B. benefit C. routine D. reward
63.Which of the following can make mental work feel easier
A. Seeking continuous support when feeling down.
B. Reading thick literary classics for twenty minutes daily.
C. Breaking down a challenging project into smaller tasks.
D. Overestimation promotes efficiency.
64.What can be inferred from the passage
A. Personal perception determines performance.
B. Focusing on rewards enhances motivation.
C. Brain reaction triggers positive emotions.
D. Different views on human brain energy consumption.
65.What is the main idea of the passage
A. Why difficult tasks feel tough and how to deal with it.
B. How the brain creates different kinds of emotions.
C.Different views on human brain energy consumption
D.Ways to improve people's learning efficiency.
D
Combining complaints and bragging online is sometimes referred to as "humblebragging," when people boast under the guise of modesty or a complaint. It allows individuals to highlight their successes or positive traits while appearing embarrassed or complaining. For example, someone may post a question such as, "Why is it that I always take on too many things at any one time " Humblebraggers hope to generate responses that reflect their competence and some applause. Humblebragging is a common social phenomenon often used on social media.
However, it does not have the effect that the humblebragger is hoping for.
For most people, bragging is not something positive. They want to let others know about their achievements, they worry about potential hostile responses if people think they are bragging. Humblebragging allows people to relieve the tension and concerns by using modesty to prevent their self-promotion. Even though the reader often perceives it differently.
Social media is often used to seek approval from others. The aim is to get as many hearts or thumbs-up as they have connections. However, such positive reactions are less likely if you humblebrag. Humblebragging can be perceived as insecure, insincere, and manipulative; those reading the post are left unimpressed or annoyed. Thus, there may be a social cost to posting content viewed as unreal.
People prefer that others be honest rather than disguising what they mean. Straightforward bragging, even if not favoured by others, is at least honest. In the last few decades, it has become apparent that being authentic is important. For example, brand authenticity is synonymous with successful business practice, and consumers want influencers to be authentic.
Humblebragging wants to walk a fine line between pride and humility but often achieves neither. In the end, people value honesty and vulnerability far more than an overly polished attempt to mask ambition. By trying to please everyone, humblebragging often pleases no one, leaving a trail of missed opportunities for genuine connection and admiration. Engaging with others through social media can be tricky. But at any point in time, it is better to own your achievements and be honest about what you have done. That way, others can, if they wish to, genuinely congratulate you on who you are and what you have accomplished.
Equally, it is a good idea to share the potential difficulties that you may have faced on your journey to accomplishment. This can make what you share seem more relatable and vulnerable, just like anyone else. Also, discuss how you have grown as an individual and mention others who contributed to your success. Not only does it demonstrate that you have not always been successful, but you can recognise those who helped you get there. Something that can be uplifting for anyone who was involved. Humility brings you closer to others; it shows how you are authentic and don't need to pretend or disguise what life can really be like.
66. Why does the author present the example of social media posts in the first paragraph
A. To prove that social media is full of insincere behaviors
B. To vividly introduce the concept of humblebragging
C. To criticize people for their desire for online approval
D. To warn readers against sharing personal achievements publicly
67.What is the author's attitude towards humblebragging in Paragraph 3
A. Sympathetic B. Supportive C. Disapproving D. Neutral
68.Why do people choose to humblebrag online
A. They want to make others feel annoyed.
B. They fear negative reactions to direct bragging.
C. They hope to hide their real achievements totally.
D. They wish to become popular by telling lies.
69.We can infer from the text that ______.
A. humblebragging has become the most popular way to seek approval
B. people now value authenticity more than false modesty
C. straightforward bragging is always better than other communication ways
D. social media has made humblebragging the only way to share success
70.Which of the following behaviours does the author most recommend
A. Posting: "I am so confused--why do so many companies want to hire me suddenly "
B. Sharing: "After 2 years of hard work and many setbacks, I finally won the award. I really want to thank my teachers and teammates who supported me all the way."
C. Complaining: "I'm so tired—I have to attend 12 national meetings every week as the only student representative."
D. Commenting: " I don’t understand why people praise me --I actually did nothing great."

A kind father lost about 57 kg in just six months after being shamed dieting when he became too fat to play with his young daughter. Chris Willis, 47, tipped the scales at 172 kg following a lifetime of fatty foods. But overweight Chris turned to dieting when he realized he was too fat to play with his ten-year-old daughter, Sophie, who had a passion for running.
The determined dad cut out all the fatty foods he had enjoyed, and began exercising. He now weighs 115 kg after losing 10 kg every month since July. Chris, who lives in Shepreth, Cambridgeshire with his wife Jackie, 51, a coach driver, said: "The hardest thing was seeing my little girl in the garden and not being able to join in because I was so unhealthy. But now I am making up for lost time—we do so much together and it is just great."
Chris used to consume an incredible 5,000 calories a day, before he switched to a healthy lifestyle. On average he would eat five slices of bread for breakfast as a mid morning meal before a full English breakfast. He would then eat a sandwich, a large pack of crisps and a pastry for lunch before chewing a whole packet of biscuits in the afternoon. For dinner Chris would demolish a curry (咖喱) and ice cream, and also drink four pints of beer very quickly, before feeding on fatty snacks all evening.
Amazingly Chris claims he still eats the same amount—but has simply cut out the unhealthy fatty foods. Chris said: "My family and friends have been so supportive and my wife and daughter are so pleased for me. In fact it’s them I did it for more than anyone else. The whole journey has been amazing and I am still shocked myself that I have managed to lose so much weight." Chris is now aiming for a new target weight of 96 kg.
71. Why did Chris Willis lose weight (no more than 10 words)
72. What does the underlined word "demolish" mean (1 word)

As Norman Vincent Peale once put it, "Change your thoughts, and you change your world."
This famous saying tells us our mindset shapes our whole life. Positive thinking helps us see hope instead of being trapped in troubles.
Last term I failed my math exam and wanted to give up. But I told myself mistakes offer chances to improve. I sorted out weak points and kept practicing. Gradually my grades went up. Without positive thoughts, I would have lost heart.
Positive minds bring strength to overcome difficulties. I call on all classmates to develop positive thinking. Face every trouble bravely and trust we can make progress.
