If you go there by air, you will arrive at Kai Tak Airport. This was built out into the sea. It is in the part of Hong Kong called Kowloon. Kowloon is one of the two big cities in Hong Kong.The other city is Hong Kong itself. It is on island. You can get there by ship or through a tunnel under the sea. Much of Hong Kong is farmland and mountains.The population of Hong Kong is more than six million. Chinese and English are spoken by many people there. Clothes, computers, radios, televisions are made in Hong Kong. You can buy all kinds of things, like watches and computers.Hong Kong is also a beautiful city. It is a good place for traveling. You can see people from all over the world every year. You can watch dog-racing andmotor-racing. When you are hot and tired, you may rest in the small cool gardens. There are also a lot of high buildings to live in. If you enjoy many kinds of cooking, you can find a good place for Chinese food, for example, fish, meat, and vegetables.( )41.

You can have a rest in high buildings if you are tired.( )46. If you enjoy many kinds of cooking, you can find a good place for Japanese food.B.Choose the best answer.(5%)“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to expressa temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings.“Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say “It's cool.”You may think, “He's so cool,” when you se e your favourite footballer.We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student's paper was just the one sentence, “It's so cool”. Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.（）47. The underlined word express means _______.A.showB.explainC.getD.see（）48. As the world has changed, the word “cool”________.A. keeps its original(原来的) meaningB. has also changed its meaningC. is not used at allD. is used everywhere（）49. If you say a boy is cool, you mean that_______.A.he is ugly(丑陋)B.he is goodlookingC.he is boringD.he has a good temper.(脾气)（）50.The writer takes an example to show he is _________ the way the word is used.A.angry withB.worried aboutC.strange toD.pleased with（）51. In the passage, the writer suggests (暗示) that the word “cool”_____A. can be used instead of many wordsB. usually means something interestingC. can make your life colourfulD. may not be as cool as it seemsC. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage. (10%)If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become52 ; when you start using them again, they 53become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that 54 wo rks in the same way.When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by 55it. When someone else says that his memory is 56, he really means that he does not give it enough cha nce to become strong.If a friend 57 that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his o wn fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think t hat his parents are to blame(责怪), and 58of us know that it is just his own fault.Have you ever found that some people can' t read or write but usually they have 59 memories? This is 60 they cannot read or write and they ha ve to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to 61 days, names, songs and stories; so their me mory is the whole time being exercised.So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering.（）52.A.strong B. weak C.good D.small（）53.A.fast B. slowly C.quickly D.slow（）54.A.people B.animal C. memory D.it（）55.A.doing B.looking C. using D.listening（）56.A. poor B.good C.worse D.nice（）57.A.tells B.speaks C. says D.talks（）58.A.a few B.a little C. few D.little（）59.A.good B. better C.bad D.worse（）60.A.why B. because C.when D.so（）61.A.forget B.keep C.learn D. rememberC.Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.
