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 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 When one door closes to Li, another one opens. Born with severe hearing loss, Li has found her way to communicate with the world—through painting. Moreover, painting led Li to meet her husband Hu at the Changsha Vocational and Technical School. Losing his hearing due to medication when he was 1 year old, Hu is also an art-lover. Before learning to paint in primary school, Li always felt lonely in a silent world. She knew she was different from her peers because she could not hear. But a painting class opened for her a door to creativity and away of expression. Graduating from college in 2005, Li got a job as a typist at a public institute in Zhuzhou, Hunan. It was a decent job in the eyes of her father, but Li was not happy because she could not communicate with other colleagues and the lonely feeling from childhood came back. In 2016, Li quit the job and joined her husband’s company, which specializes in 3D wall and ground paintings, to be a wall painter. All the five painters there are hearing-impaired. “I know how difficult it is for hearing impaired people to find a job. So I want to help those who are passionate about painting to pursue their dreams,” said Hu, adding that the company is more like a family. As all the people are hearing-impaired, communication with clients is the most common challenge that the team faces. Li said, “We communicate through typed words, which is slow and has caused us to lose some clients.” Apart from that, Li is confident about the team’s painting and design skills. Li hopes that their stories can inspire more people facing similar battles. The painter said, “Life can be challenging to the hearing loss community who are somehow excluded (排除) from conversations, but we are not alone, and we can find our way of expressing ourselves.” 24．What does Li have in common with her husband? A．They are crazy about painting. B．They were born with hearing loss. C．They set up a company after graduation. D．They started learning painting before primary school. 25．Why did Hu hire hearing-impaired people in his company? A．To please his wife. B．To realize his painting dream. C．To prove they can do everything. D．To help the same people as him. 26．What can we infer about Li’s team members? A．They are professional. B．They are all Li’s family. C．They are famous artists. D．They can’t communicate with others. 27．What do Li’s words in the last paragraph mean? A．Life is not fair for the disabled. B．She hopes to be treated as a normal person. C．She is hopeful about her career and future life. D．Working in her husband’s company makes her depressed. C Founded in 1998 by Andrzej Adamcio, the company called Anmet was originally started to provide manufacturing companies with solutions for metals recycling. In 2014, Adamcio began to recognize that there was a growing need for solutions, for recycling composite wind turbine blades (复合风力发电机叶片) at the end of their life spans. Using his experience in metals recycling, Adamcio began to work on ways to recycle glass and carbon fiber composite blades, and today, wind blade recycling has become one of Anmet’s main focuses and a major area for growth going forward. In the long term, Anmet’s recycling solution involves the physical repurposing (赋予新用途)of glass fiber wind turbine blades. The company’s services start on-site: representatives will travel to a wind farm and dismantle the blade into sections, followed by transport of the parts back to the Anmet’s facility for reconstruction into architecture or infrastructure products. There are several environmental advantages to this type of recycling. For example, repurposing blades rather than completely destroying them via burning, breaking them into pieces or other means costs less energy, is less costly and produces less emissions and dust. The company has filed patents for other infrastructure solutions currently going through testing at Rzeszow University of Technology, including geotechnical blocks (岩土工程砌块) for road slope strengthening. Replacing typical steel or steel-strengthened concrete road barriers with repurposed glass fiber wind blade components enables greater resistance to damage from corrosive(腐蚀性的) soil environments. The blocks can be adapted in shape to fit the needs of a particular situation. So far, Anmet has built and trialed early models of these blocks, and is working toward registering them for construction use within the European Union, with hopes of extending into the U.S. market as well. 28．What was Anmet’s initial focus? A．Manufacturing wind turbine blades. B．Dealing with metal recycling. C．Recycling wind turbine blades. D．Extending life spans of wind blades. 29．What does Anmet aim to do in the future? A．Build wind blades without using carbon fiber. B．Repurpose retired wind blades for infrastructure. C．Reconstruct wind farms into architecture. D．Deal with wind blades using energy-consuming ways. 30．What does the underlined word ”dismantle“ in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Take apart. B．Break through. C．Cut in. D．Turn down. 31．What can we know about Anmet’s geotechnical blocks? A．They are filled with steel or steel-strengthened concrete. B．They can scarcely fight against corrosive soil. C．They can be adjusted for a special circumstance. D．They have been used in road building in the USA． D I first came to Berwickshire for a job-to be the Ranger for the Berwickshire Marine Reserve.I was then Senior Ranger for St Abb’s Head National Nature Reserve and I set up my own business, In Our Nature, offering wildlife journeys,walks,talks and courses in 2020. There’s so much I love about Berwickshire.Its stunning scenery. Its variety of landscapes and habitats and range of amazing wildlife, both above and below the water. Its friendly people. In places you can feel like you are a million miles from anywhere, when in reality you’re just an hour’s drive from Edinburgh. The thing that supports everything on the Berwickshire Coast is its varied and fascinating geology(地质).The jewel in the crown is Siccar Point. With its world-famous non-conformity(均变)，it’s considered the birthplace of modern geology. The geology not only shapes the landscape, but it also impacts on the wildlife, forming varied habitats from steep sheltered valleys and towering cliffs to sheltered sandy bays. There’s nothing I like more than being out in nature and sharing my passion with others, so starting up In Our Nature was a no brainer. In the warmer months I offer tours on land and sea to help folk enjoy the amazing wildlife and scenery of the Berwickshire Coast. In the darker months my online courses help people learn about wildlife in the hope that it will increase their enjoyment of the marine and coastal environments they spend time in. My favourite spot on the Berwickshire Coast has got to be a place called Petticowick. The views up the coast and inland to the Mire Loch are second to none. It’s a place where you can marvel at geology which covers unimaginable periods of time. You can listen to and watch thousands of seabirds that return to the cliffs to breed each spring. Or witness all the amazing activity of the breeding seal colony on the beach below during the early winter. 32．Why did the author go to Berwickshire? A．To do sightseeing. B．To make friends. C．To work in a reserve. D．To study wildlife. 33．What do the underlined words “The jewel in the crown" mean? A．The highest part. B．The most attractive part. C．The valueless part. D．The advanced part. 34．How does the author help people get to know wildlife in darker months? A．By providing online courses. B．By sharing her experiences. C．By offering tours on land. D．By organizing trips to the sea. 35．What can we learn from the text? A．Modern geology needs further study. B．Petticowick should be well preserved. C．People should not take advantage of nature. D．The author is enthusiastic about Berwickshire. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Work from Anywhere Movement For a lot of us, working from wherever we wanted was a bit of a dream. It would mean we’d be able to visit family and not take holiday days. But suddenly that “dream” of not working in the office became a reality for many. Working from home over the last years has proven that it isn’t always necessary for teams to physically be together and there is more flexibility. 36 An obvious benefit for many employers is reduced costs. With a widespread workforce, there’s no need to have an office big enough for everyone. They also save on travel costs, as meetings that once “needed” to be done face-to-face can now be done online. 37 With the work from anywhere movement, employers can hire global talents. They’re not restricted to people living nearby. 38 In an ever changing and developing working world, offering benefits like this could be what makes a company stand out from another for a specific candidate. For many employees, working from anywhere supports mental health. 39 Imagine ending a particularly stressful meeting. Rather than going back to your office desk, you step out your door and have a coffee in the sun or walk along a beach. In Addition, working from anywhere allows you to have a better work-life balance. It lets you travel to see family, watch your daughter’s soccer game, and go to the little bakery—all while being paid. 40 A．But it’s not only about money. B．However, every coin has two sides. C．It decreases stress and other concerns. D．Your time is spent on the things that matter. E．There are a lot of benefits for companies and workers. F．Offering remote job positions makes a company more competitive. G．Offices are increasingly where you go to put the company into company. 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分) 第一节(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In Connecticut, &teacher made a big decision that would change the course of her life and her new student’s.
