A
When six the very best students from different cities in Guandong province all together chose universities in Hong Kong; when the very best student of Beijing picked up HK University while giving up the nearby Peking or Tsingbua University; when the highest enrollment （录取）rate of Hong Kong Science and Industry University reached 48:1, it’s the high time to ask where the real education heaven for students in China is.
Years ago, the answer certainly would be “Peking or Tsinghua University”. But now no one could give the exact reaction without hesitation. The only sure thing is that HK universities have gradually showed an unusual attraction to a great many mainland students.
It’s no doubt to call this HK craze（狂热）,which is even out of the expectation of those HK universities themselves.
How can HK universities shake the steady foundations of Peking and Tsinghua and attract so many mainland students?
First, Hong Kong universities offer large-amount scholarship, especially for the top students who can receive the sum scholarship as much as 400,000 HK dollars. Since higher education has become a kind of heavy burden of many families, it’s
easy to understand why the reaction to the generous offering of HK universities is great.
Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out bilingual（双语）education. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is another attraction for mainland students.
Further more, university students in Hong Kong have a better chance to study abroad as exchange students.
Can mainland top universities like Peking or Tsinghua University calm as before when facing the unexpected competition from HK? Will they take relevant measures to win back the top students who once help them set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain it.
The fierce competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement of education in China. After the awakening and action taking of mainland universities, they can perform better together with HK universities.
At least, it reminded the mainland universities the tuition fees（学费）are among students’ top concern when they are choosing universities. It’s time to move. 41．What is the passage mainly talking about?
A．Some thought brought by the enrollment of HK universities.
B．Higher education in Hong Kong.
C．The competition between HK University and Peking University.
D．The fall of mainland universities.
42．Top students from mainland apply for HK universities because .
A．many students now would love to study aboard to get a better experience B．they concern only about the tuition fees when choosing universities
C．HK universities offer higher scholarship, better environment and more opportunities for their further study
D．Peking university has lost its worldwide reputation
43．What is the author’s attitude toward the competition brought by HK universities?
A．The government should take relevant measures to stop this unfair competition.
B．Mainland universities had better lower their tuition fees and win back the top students.
C．Universities both in mainland and in HK would get an entire improvement during the competition.
D．It may probably cause a complete loss both sides in the end.
44．From the passage we can see HK universities .
A．didn’t mean to enroll top students from mainland
B．didn’t expect their enrollment of mainland students would be so popular C．have strict enrollment rules and only 1 out of 48 students can get the chance to study there
D．are proud of their teaching staff and facilities
45．What does the author mean by saying “It’s time to move”in the last paragraph?
A．Mainland universities should take measures as soon as possible to attract students.
B．The opportunities come for top students to study abroad.
C．HK universities should make full preparations to challenge mainland universities.
D．Top students should be offered further education free of charge.

Baseball is America’s national sport . So it is not unusual that many popular expressions come from baseball. But first, let me explain a little about the game.
Each baseball team has nine players. The pitcher of one team throws the ball to a batter from the other team. The batter attempts to hit the ball. If he misses, it is called a strike. If a batter gets three strikes, he loses his turn at bat and is called out. The batter also is out if he hits the ball in the air and an opposing player catches it. But if the batter hits the ball and it is not caught, the batter tries to run to one or more of the four bases on the field. The batter can run to all four bases if he hits the ball over the fence or out of the ballpark. Such a hit is called a homerun.
Now, here are some common expressions from baseball. Someone who is “on the ball” is intelligent and able to do a good job. But a person who “threw a curve ball”did something unexpected. Someone who “steps up to the plate”is ready to do his or her job. A “pinch hitter” takes the place of someone else at a job or activity.
Sometimes I have to give information quickly, without time to think it over. Then I would say something “right off the bat”. If someone is doing an extremely good job and is very successful, you might say he or she is “batting one thousand ”.
If I say I want to “touch base” with you, I will talk to you from time to time about something we plan to do. I might say I “touched all the bases” if I did what is necessary to complete a job or activity. And if I “covered my bases”
I was well prepared. However, someone who is “way off base” did something wrong or maybe even dishonest or immoral. A person with strange ideas might be described as “out in left field.”
Finally, when a situation changes completely, we say “that is a whole new ballgame.”
46．The purpose of the passage is to .
A．indicate baseball is America’s national sport
B．explain the rules of a sport game
C．introduce some useful expressions from baseball
D．show the connection between expressions and sports
47．What does the underlined sentence “ The batter also is out” mean ?
A．The batter comes out from his position
B．The batter will not continue the game .
C．The match will be over suddenly .
D．The batter will change his position .
48．Which of the following expressions can show the meaning that someone is ready to do something ?
A．To be right off the bat . B．To throw a curve ball .
C．To cover his bases . D．That is a whole new ballgame 49．What is the main idea of the second paragraph ?
A．The history of baseball .
B．The rules of baseball .
C．The connection between baseball and the expressions
D．Baseball is popular in America .

Have you ever received a gift that was so clearly not your taste that you wondered if perhaps it had been handed to you by mistake? Worse, have you ever given a present and watched your friend took as though she had opened the wrong box? Maybe she responded with a polite “Why, thank you,”but you knew you had missed the mark．Why do presents sometimes to wrong? And what do your choices (good and bad) reflect about your personal qualities?
Choosing the right gift is an art, I believe．It calls for empathy--the ability to put yourself into someone else’s head and heart．We’re all able to do this; in fact, we’re born with a kind of natural empathy．After the earliest period of childhood, however, it needs to be reinforced (加强) by our parents, teachers, friends．When it isn’t, we’re not able to understand other people’s feelings as sharply．This can show in the gifts we select, and so can many other emotional qualities.
Think back to the presents you’ve given over the past year, the time and effort you put into your selection, how much you spent, your thoughts while you were shopping, and your feelings when the receiver opened the package．Keep in mind that what you choose displays your inner world．Of course, you may express yourself differently with different friends, relatives, and other people you know.
We live in a society where exchanging presents is an important part of communication．Ignoring the tradition won’t make it go away．If you really dislike such a tradition, tell your friends ahead of time.
50．The underlined expression “you had missed the mark” means “you had failed to ”.
A．make her feel better B．keep you friendship
C．receive a present in return D．get the expected effect
51．Which of the following is the main idea of the second paragraph?
A．Natural empathy needs to be reinforced.
B．Emotional changes influence one’s choice of gifts.
C．Selecting the right gift is an ability people are born with.
D．choosing gifts requires one to understand the receivers.
52．In the third paragraph, the author tells us that .
A．attention should be paid to the receivers’ responses
B．one learns from what he did in the past
C．the choice of gifts reflects one’s emotional qualities
D．one should spend more time choosing gifts
53．The best possible title for this passage is “”.
A．Ways of Choosing Gifts B．An Important Tradition
C．Exchanging Presents D．Message in a Gift

When most people think of tropical islands, lined with white sandy beaches and bright blue seas, it is often the Caribbean or South Pacific that comes to mind. But for Chinese tourists who want a taste of paradise on Earth there is new place to consider.
Mauritius, an island lying off the southeast of Africa in the Indian Ocean, has just been added to China’s list of tourist destinations. Rich in history, natural beauty and culture, the island has been a popular destination for the world’s tourists for many years.
On December 15 a total of eight African countries were added to the list. The others are Tunisia, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Zambia and the Seychelles.
The island has passed through the controlling hands of a number of European powers, including Dutch, French and British. In 1968, Mauritius won its independence.
At present, over half the population of Mauritius in Hindu and another fifth is Muslim (穆斯林). Both groups are descendants (后裔) from workers brought to the island from India by the British. Some Chinese were also brought over to work. There are also descendants of African slaves and Franco Mauritians, the original settlers of the island.
One of the best things about the island is the food. There is a mouth watering mix of European, Chinese and Indian flavours and seafood is very popular. A typical Mauritian dinner might have Indian chicken curry, Chinese pork, British roast beef and French style vegetables. Boiled rice is served with just about everything. All that is washed down with a plentiful supply of local beer and rum (朗姆酒).
The pleasant tropical climate and scenery provide the perfect setting to enjoy everything. The sea is full of colorful life that lives around the coral reef . This makes Mauritius a wonderful place for swimming and diving. The large number of interesting fish means it is also an exciting place for those who like to go fishing. 54．Which group of the following topics is NOT discussed in the text?
A．Food and history. B．Scenery and population.
C．Location and sports. D．Natural resources and agriculture. 55．Which of the following is TRUE?
A．Mauritius has something similar to the Caribbean or South Pacific.
B．Mauritius has a history of less than 40 years.
C．Mauritius has been a popular destination for Chinese tourists for many years.
D．The main food in Mauritius is local beer and rum.
56．The underlined word “This” in the last paragraph refers to “”.
A．pleasant tropical climate B．beautiful scenery
C．the sea with colorful life D．the coral reef

Dear editor,
When I watched TV yesterday, an advertisement made by Yaoming caught my eyes. In the advertisement, YaoMing and his family refused to eat the food made from the marine life because they saw the process of whales being killed. The words “No selling, no killing” in the advertisement reminds me of the fact that some merchants tried to kill animals, such as whales, elephants and so on to make profits. As is known, all life in the earth should live in harmony so as to keep the balance of nature. Animals are our friends. If we kill too many of them, we’ll be punished by nature. So I will do as Yaoming says. I’ve made up my mind not to eat the food made from the animals nor to wear the clothes made of fur.
Best wishes,
Li Hua。
