undergraduates are 18 years' or older when they come into residence. All applicants will need to demonstrate that they
have the maturity and personal skills to cope with university level study. A student who will be over 21 on commencing a
course is classified as a mature student.

requirements. These included the need for a qualification in English, a language other than English, and a mathematical
or scientific subject. These requirements will be abolished from 2009 entry onwards.
Cambridge applicants are encouraged to study either four or five Advanced Subsidiary (AS) levels in Year 12.
Applicants taking four subjects will not be disadvantaged compared with those taking five subjects. The university
administration would normally expect A grades in subjects which are particularly reI-evant to the course a student is
applying for. More challenging offers may be set to ensure that an applicant can cope with pressure and the demands of
exams.
Advanced Extension Awards (AEAs) are based on A level subject criteria and require no additional teaching or

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Consider activities that most take for granted, particularly those who live in industrialized nations: drinking a glass of
water; driving a car or traveling by mass transportation; living in a decent house or apartment; using modern household
appliances; using tools to build, fix and repair; even breathing fresh air. These activities improve our quality of life. Have
you considered that to do all of the above requires the availability of natural resources, whether used as raw materials or
in finished products?The United Nations predicts that the global population will increase from the present 6.65 billion to
7.95 billion by the year 2025. At the same time, the world is becoming more prosperous. The average person is
consuming more food, water, energy and metals. Multiple millions in nations that were once poor are now moving into the
middle class. They are driving cars, acquiring household appliances, using electronic gadgets and adopting high-protein
diets, similar to Western industrialized nations. The subject of natural resources has been in the news for years. The
media has long reported that the world's supply of oil, minerals, fresh water, and lumber are in danger of running out. Yet

growth, coupled with increasing industrialization and urbanization, will result in greater demand for water. Water will
become much scarcer. The United Nations figures suggest that there are around 300 potential conflicts over water all over
the world. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about one-sixth of the world's population lacks access to
clean water, while 40% are without access to proper sanitation services.
