谁能告诉我YORK大学的录取要求?
还有老师的推荐信是不是一种形式?

要根据你的具体情况而定。基本上来讲,英国教育产业话以后,入学要求不高。国内正规大学的好学生去前10名的学校问题不大,专科生也能找到正规大学读研究生。

History[edit]Pre-historySee, Timeline of environmental events View of the River Thames from the terrace at Somerset House, by Antonio CanalettoFrom over 600,000 years ago, during the Pleistocene ice age, until the Anglian glaciation around 475,000 years ago, the early River Thames flowed eastwards passing north of the Hampstead hills to Clacton-on-Sea, and crossed what is now the North Sea to become a tributary of the Rhine. The river followed a path through Buckinghamshire, the southern part of Hertfordshire and Essex, running from the area of modern Staines up the valley of the Colne to Hatfield and then eastward across Essex towards the primeval Rhine. Later ice encroached down the valley of the modern River Lea and diverted the Thames to flow between Hampstead Heath and the high ground at Finchley. Superficial gravel deposits from the primordial Thames are found throughout the Vale of St. Albans. Later another ice dam near Hatfield and a lake ponded up to the west of this around St Albans. Waters eventually overflowed near Staines to cut the path of the modern Thames through central London. When the ice retreated about 400,000 years ago the river bed along the new route and so the river remained on its present day course. The flow in the Colne valley then reversed, now flowing south as a tributary into the modern Thames. Below its present flood plain the Thames made a gorge when the sea level was lower in the Ice Age; as the Ice Age ended this gorge became an estuary and then gradually filled with sediment.Numerous iron age hoards found in the lower Thames indicate the religious importance of the river. The skulls found near Hammersmith have been interpreted both as human sacrifices and as victims of Boudica's revolt. Within the human timescale, following the example of the local Celts, the Romans called the river Tamesis: Julius Caesar (De Bello Gallico), Cassius Dio (xl. 3) and Tacitus (Annals xiv. 32).[1] View across the River Thames from the south side of Tower Bridge. Two of London’s tallest buildings are visible: immediately to the right of the street lamp is Tower 42 (183 metres, 600 feet, once called the NatWest Tower) while on the right is the interestingly shaped Swiss Re Tower (180 metres, 590 feet).On the far right is the Tower of London[edit]Recorded historyThe Thames provided the major highway between London and Westminster in the 16th and 17th centuries. The clannish guild of watermen ferried Londoners from landing to landing, and tolerated no outside interference.In the 17th and 18th centuries, during the period now referred to as the Little Ice Age, the Thames often froze over in the winter. This led to the first Frost Fair in 1607, complete with a tent city set up on the river itself and offering a number of amusements, including ice bowling. After temperatures began to rise again, starting in 1814, the river has never frozen over completely. The building of a new London Bridge in 1825 may also have been a factor; the new bridge had fewer pillars than the old and so allowed the river to flow more freely, thus preventing it from flowing slowly enough to freeze in cold winters.By the 18th century, the Thames was one of the world's busiest waterways, as London became the centre of the vast, mercantile British Empire. During this time one of the worst river disasters in England took place on 3 September 1878 on the Thames, when the crowded pleasure boat Princess Alice collided with the Bywell Castle killing over 640.

Click on the picture for a longer descriptionIn the 'Great Stink' of 1858, pollution in the river became so bad that sittings at the House of Commons at Westminster had to be abandoned. A concerted effort to contain the city's sewage by constructing massive sewers on the north and south river embankments followed, under the supervision of engineer Joseph Bazalgette.The coming of rail and road transportation, and the decline of the Empire in the years following 1914, have reduced the prominence of the river. London itself is no longer a port of any note, and the Port of London has moved downstream to Tilbury. In return, the Thames has undergone a massive clean-up from the filthy days of the late 19th and early- to mid-20th centuries, and life has returned to its formerly dead waters.In the early 1980s, a massive flood-control device, the Thames Barrier, was opened. It is closed several times a year to prevent water damage to London's low-lying areas upstream. In the late 1990s, the 12-km-long Jubilee River was built, which acts as a flood channel for the Thames around Maidenhead and Windsor.[2][edit]Name originThe river's name appears always to have been pronounced with a simple "t" at the beginning; the Middle English spelling was typically Temese and Latin Tamesis. The "th" lends an air of Greek to the name and was added during the Renaissance, possibly to reflect or support a belief that the name was derived from River Thyamis in the Epirus region of Greece, whence early Celtic tribes are thought to have migrated. However, most scholars now believe Temese and Tamesis come from Celtic (Brythonic) Tamesa, perhaps meaning "the dark one".But Rickett & Smith (The Place-Names of Roman Britain) reported that it is more probably based upon Proto-Indo-European ta- with a meaning “to flow”. This view was first postulated by Nacolaisen in 1957. There are a large number of river names commencing with this element, which can be divided into three groups (see also River Isis).The name Isis, given to the part of the river running through Oxford, may have came from the Egyptian river god of that name but is believed to be a contraction of Tamesis, the Latin (or pre-Roman Celtic) name. It may be that the name Isis was a fanciful and neo-classical one, given by the university population as a type of pet name. The actual derivation is obscure, so conjecture prevails.Richard Coates has recently suggested that the river was called the Thames upriver where it was narrower, and Plowonida down river where it was too wide to ford. This gave the name to a settlement on its banks, which became known as Londinium from the original root Plowonida derived from pre-celtic Old European 'plew' and 'nejd,' meaning something like the flowing river or the wide flowing unfordable river.[3]
