温馨提示

  • 观看视频时,可以暂停,这样就有时间自己思考如何处理这类问题,当然也可以往回拉进度条,而且想看几次就看几次。

  • 也不用担心视频里的学生看起来自信满满、逻辑清晰,自己不一定能达到,要记住他们已经适应导师教学模式。

牛津大学面试指导及样题

 

牛津大学面试官方给出准备建议

1.重新读一读PS和提交的书面作品。

2.思考笔试中给出的答案,如果没记住细节,也不用太担心。

3.提醒自己为什么选择这个专业,为什么想学牛津这个专业,这些面试中可能问到。

4.复习最近学过的材料,并在学科领域里扩展,比如通过报纸文章、网站、视频和电视节目。

5.提醒自己这个专业的筛选标准。

6.如果申请的是学校里没有学过的课程,准备好展示你的兴趣,以及一些相关背景知识。

7.对日常生活中遇到的观点和争论采取批判性的态度,考虑到所有方面。

8.看一看牛津给出的面试样题。

在探究这个问题的过程中,面试官会引导面试者逐步分析并完成一张草图。如果面试者直接回答出正确内容,面试官可能会就此问题进行拓展。例如,上述问题很容易引发对卫星、轨道、失重或暗物质的讨论。

牛津大学面试官侧重考察面试者如何通过所学知识一步步得出最终结论,以及在指导下面试者如何梳理自己的思路。换句话说,在寻找正确答案的同时,面试官对面试者严谨的思考过程更感兴趣。

Mathematics 数学

牛津大学数学课程的学术要求比较高,面试也相当有难度。数学专业+牛津的组合,成就了牛津数学专业极其激烈的申请竞争!

牛津大学面试题通常没有确切答案面试者重在评估面试者的面试过程。牛津数学专业的面试题灵活性很高既有对严谨的数学知识的考察,又有对学生整体数学能力的评估因此对面试者的综合能力要求也很高。

面试真题

● How many ways are there to cover a 2 x n rectangular grid with 2 x 1 tiles?

●There's a torus/ring doughnut shaped space station with 2 spacemen on a spacewalk standing diametrically oppositie each other. Can then ask a variety of questions such as if spaceman A wants to throw a spanner to spaceman B, what angle and speed should they choose (stating any assumptions made, e.g. that gravity = 0)?

● Imagine a ladder leaning against a vertical wall with its feet on the ground. The middle rung of the ladder has been painted a different colour on the side, so that we can see it when we look at the ladder from the side on. What shape does that middle rung trace out as the ladder falls to the floor?

问题旨在考察面试者的信息筛选及处理能力,以及能否用数学思维思考正在发生的事情。

牛津大学面试官首先会问面试者认为是什么形状,接下来需要面试者一步步验证自己的结论。有的面试者可能会尝试画出梯子在不同阶段的草图,但是面试官想看到严谨的思考过程,比如运用数学方法(如方程式等)来模拟情况。

如果面试者在解题的过程中遇到困难,面试官会给予提示,如:提示思考梯子与墙壁地面的关系等。最终面试者会发现梯子在每个阶段都与墙壁地面形成了一个直角三角形,有些面试者可能会立刻使用勾股定理来寻找答案(即梯子形成了一个四分之一圆,中心在地面和墙壁的交汇处)。

Engineering 工程
左右手各一根手指支撑一把30厘米的尺子,当两根手指逐渐彼此靠拢时会发生什么?
牛津大学面试指导及样题

图片源自 牛津大学官网

在这个问题中,很多面试者可能认为尺子会向手指最靠近尺子中心的一侧倒下,因为他们认为其中一根手指会先到达尺子的中心。当面试者完成这个“小实验”后会发现两根手指同时到达尺子中心,并且尺子通过两根手指保持平衡。
牛津大学面试官主要通过该问题考察面试者如何运用所熟知的概念(如摩擦等)来解释不熟悉的情况或现象,以及观察面试者对意料之外的结果有何反应,并鼓励他们慢慢地重复该"实验"。
在考虑力矩与摩擦力的提示下,面试者将得出结论: 力矩意味着最接近尺子中心的手指上有更大的力。这意味着尺子和手指之间的摩擦更大,因此尺子会先从离中心最远的手指上滑过。这个论点将适用于手指到中心的距离相同的情况。
牛津大学面试指导及样题

图片源自 牛津大学官网

在某些情况下面试可能会继续对力和力矩进行定量分析,甚至可能讨论静摩擦系数与动摩擦系数之间的关系,如:在手指开始移动到另一根手指之前,移动的手指比静止的手指更接近中心。
Materials Science 材料科学
如果想要用热气球举起大象,气球里的空气温度需要达到多高?

图片源自 牛津大学官网

这类问题,很少有面试者可以在十分钟或是规定时间内明确地回答出“X摄氏度”。面试官通过这类问题考察面试者的思考过程,以及在其指导下的反应。在回答问题前,面试官也会明确说明这一点。
