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 of 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.

46.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.

       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

48.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.

       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

Although hurricane season doesn't begin until June 1, a Pacific storm has already struck. El Salvador, which was ruined by a Caribbean storm in 1995, was hit by Hurricane Adrian on Friday. This is the first Pacific-born hurricane to ever reach land in this Central American country.

Some 14,000 people left from the western coast of El Salvador. The storm weakened as it crossed land, heading east. Heavy rains created deadly flooding problems in the hurricane's wake.

Adrian is the first Pacific storm of the season. It reported maximum continuous winds of 75 miles per hour, the minimum strength of a hurricane. A Category 3 hurricane, Adrian also caused damage and flooding in Honduras. It is expected to break up before reaching the Caribbean Sea on the eastern coast of Central America.

Hurricane season typically begins June 1 and lasts through November 30.The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has predicted seven to nine hurricanes for the 2005 season.

"It is difficult to make any kind of an exact prediction of how many of these will strike land," NOAA administrator Conrad Lautenbacher said. He predicts two to three hurricanes will strike the U.S. this season.

Last year, six of nine hurricanes reached Category 3 strength or higher. Four of those hit Florida within a six-week period. Altogether, Hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne caused more than $40 billion in damage in the Sunshine State.

This year's forecast is based on ocean temperatures. Warmer temperatures produce more tropical storms, which can then turn into hurricanes.

"The issue, really, this year is the unusually warm sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic," said Frank Lepore of the National Hurricane Center.

60.Which of the following is the 2005 first hurricane?

       A.Charley.   B.Adrian.    C.Jeanne.    D.Frances.

61.How many countries struck by the hurricane are mentioned in the text?

       A.Six. B.Nine.       C.Five.       D.Three.

62.We can infer that warmer ocean temperatures ______.

       A.have nothing to do with the hurricane

       B.cause less hurricane

       C.are more likely to cause the hurricanes

       D.do a lot of damage to the areas along the coast

63.The passage implies that _______.

       A.hurricane season comes early this year

       B.every hurricane formed in oceans could cause great damage to the land

       C.hurricane often comes in winter and spring

       D.tropical storm is more severe than hurricane

Most young architects ----particularly those in big cities ----can only dream about working in a building of their own. And making that dream come true often means finding a building no one else seems to want, which is exactly what happened to David Yocum and his partner, Brain Bell. Their building is a former automobile electrical –parts firm in Atlanta. From the outside, it looks too old, even something horrible, but open the door and you are in a wide, open courtyard, lined on three sides with rusting (生锈的)walls.

    In 2000, Yocum and Bell found this building in the city’s West End. Built in 1947, the structure had been abandoned years earlier and the roof of the main building had fallen down. But the price was right, so Yocum bought it. He spent eight months of his off-hours on demolition (拆除), pulling rubbish out through the roof, because it was too dangerous to go inside the building. The demolition was hard work, but it gave him time to think about what he wanted to do, and “to treasure what was there—the walls, the rust, the light,” Yocum said. “Every season , more paint falls off the walls and more rust develops. It’s like an art installation(装置)there---a slow-motion show.”

    Since the back building had been constructed without windows, an all-glass front was added to the building to give it a view of the courtyard, and skylights were installed in the roof. The back of the building is a working area and a living room for Yocum and his wife. A sort of buffer(缓冲)zone between the front and the back contains a bathroom, a kitchen and a mechanical room, and the walls that separate these zones have openings that allow views through to the front of the studio and the courtyard beyond.

    Yocum and Bell, who have just completed an art gallery for the city, feel that the experience from decoration of their building, focusing on the inside rather than the outside, has influenced their work. It has also given these architects a chance to show how they can make more out of less.

63. According to the passage, it is       for most young architects in big cities to work in a building of their own.

A. easy        B. unnecessary        C. unrealistic      D. common

64. Yocum bought the old building because        .

A. it was a bargain to him           B. it was still in good condition

C. it was located in the city center    D. it looked attractive from the outside

65. It can be inferred from the passage that Yocum and Bell       .

A. benefited a lot from pulling down the roof       

B. turned more old buildings into art galleries

C. got inspiration from decorating their old building  

D. paid more attention to the outside of the gallery

66. The main idea of the passage is that        .

A. people can learn a lot from their failures

B. it is worthwhile to spend money on an old building

C. people should not judge things by their appearance

D. creative people can make the best of what they have
