passage a

译文牛津大学是英国最古老的大学，也是世界最著名的高等学府之一。牛津大学始建于12世纪。它位于英格兰的牛津，在伦敦西北约80公里处。

牛津大学有16 300多名学生（1999 — 2000），其中留学生占将近四分之一，来自130多个国家。牛津大学有35个学院，还有5个由不同宗教团体建立的私立学院。5个私立学院中，有3个只招男生。学院中，圣希尔达和萨默维尔学院只收女生，其他均为男女兼收。

牛津的每个学院都是独立于大学的实体，由该学院的院长和管委会成员负责管理。大部分管委会成员都被称为“导师”，或学院教师，其余的是大学教授和讲师。每个学院管理自己的房产和资产，选举自己的管委会，选择和招收自己的本科生。大学提供一些图书馆、实验室及其他设施，但教学和学生生活主要由各学院负责。

牛津大学给每个学生指定一个导师，他主要通过辅导课监督学生的学习。辅导课是指导师每周与1到2名学生见面一次。学生如需专业指导，还可约见其他的导师，也可选听大学老师讲授的课程。学生选听什么课程是根据自己的兴趣和导师的建议而定的。

学位由大学而不是各个学院授予。最低文科或理科学位是优等文学学士。牛津还在其他众多学科领域授予更高的学位、文凭和证书

罗兹奖学金面向美国、加拿大和很多其他国家的学生，为他们提供至少两年的牛津学习费用。英国政府为在牛津和其他英国境内的大学求学的美国公民提供“马歇尔奖学金”。

然而，奖学金和助学金的竞争极其激烈，而且通常要求很严。学生们在申请某一项奖学金之前应仔细核查自己是否有资格，因为多数奖学金对学生国籍和（或）课程都有限制。

牛津师生员工积极参与主动招生的活动，2001年这种活动有55项以上，包括走访3 700所中学和学院，以鼓励优秀学生报考牛津大学，而不管其背景如何。

在2001年度的“创新”竞赛中，牛津大学被授予英国最具创新精神的大学称号。该竞赛旨 在发现哪一所英国大学在最广的活动领域内

取得了

创新和进取的最大成就。在2000年全英“教 学质量评估”中，牛津在所评估的10个学科中有6个得分高居榜首。

牛津、斯坦福和耶鲁3所大学最近合作开发了“远程学习”项目——“终生学习联盟”，该项目将提供文科和理科的在线课程。

牛津的使命是在教学和研究的各个领域达到并保持领先地位；保持和加强其世界名校的历 史地位；通过其研究成果和毕业生的技能促进地区、国家的和全球的发展。

为了实现这个目标，学校将针对知识环境和整个社会发展的需要，为员工提供进行创新研究所需的设施和支持；提倡既富革新精神又严格认真的教学，使教学与研究环境卓有成效地互动从而推动教学，通过辅导课指导和小组学习加速思想的交流，通过开发学校图书馆、博物馆以及科学收藏方面的资源，为毕业生能在国内和国际上一展身手打下基础。 read and think
