21、 Ocean Park Hong Kong is one of Hong Kong’s great visitor attractions. 【1】 It is a public service, and construction was funded by donations by the Hong Kong Jockey Club. So the park is much more suited to education and wildlife conservation research, and they take better care of the animals. These are the things special and excellent that really standout from similar parks. For the size and the quality, you will find the prices are lower.
【2】 So try to be there before the park open sat 10 and definitely avoid the busy holidays and weekends. Try to purchase your tickets directly online or through agents before you go.

Hong Kong is fairly unique in the world because you can purchase a card that you can swipe (刷卡) to pay for subway and bus fares. 【4】 The card allows people to travel with outstanding inline to buy tickets. Card holders simply swipe their cards and their fares are deducted (扣除) electronically. You can buy these at the subway station ticket windows and then use them for more convenience to pay for things in the park. No ID is required to buy one. 【5】
A.Go there when it isn’t busy.
B.Large crowds of visitors arrive later in the morning.
C.It’s a good place where you can do research into rare animals.
D.Unlike other theme parks, this park isn’t for a profit business.
E.However, taxis from Central are relatively quick and inexpensive.
F.And you can add money as you wish and return the card to a station window for some money back.
G.It can also be used to pay for many other things such as purchases at supermarkets, convenience stores and restaurants.
22、 An independent college claimed to have become the first school in England to make Chinese a compulsory (强制的) subject for its pupils.
Richard Cairns, the headmaster of Brighton College, said the move aims to recognize the importance of China as the world’s fastest growing economy.
Chinese will become one of the core subjects at the 1,200-pupil college from September. At present the school has only a “handful” of native Chinese students, but it hopes to attract more in the future.
Mr Cairns, who made the announcement in his first week as head of the high-achieving college, said, “One of my key tasks is to make sure that the pupils at Brighton College are equipped for the realities of the 21st century, and one of those realities is that China has the fastest growing economy in the world.
“China has replaced Britain as the world’s fourth-largest economy. We in Britain need to face up to this challenge, see it for the trading opportunity that it is, and ensure that our nation’s children are well-placed to thrive (茁壮成长) in this new global reality.
“A better understanding of the language and culture of China will be hugely important to the advantage of the children of Brighton College.”
Mr Cairns said he hoped the Chinese children already at the college would help and encourage their fellow pupils to learn their language.
In order to lead the way, Mr Cairns, a historian from Oxford, plans to take part in the first Chinese class as a pupil. “I have agreed to join the first Chinese class as a pupil. I think it is the best way for me to show the pupils here how important I regard this new addition to our core subjects.”

24、Ask bacteria where they’d like to live, and they’ll answer: a kitchen sponge (海绵), please.
Sponges are the best place for bacteria, capable of housing 54 billion bacteria per cubic centimeter. In addition to being damp, airy and loaded with food remains, sponges provide a perfect physical environment for bacteria.
Just like humans, bacteria prefer different levels of interactions with their peers. Some bacteria are more social, while others prefer staying alone. Researchers found that middling levels of separation—similar to that found in a sponge—maximize the diversity of the community.
Scientists separated different bacterial strains(菌株), which had been engineered to give light, into compartments(隔间). The work showed that an environment with a middling number of compartments promotes the most diversity.
Kitchen sponge, with all kinds of large and small holes, not only offer an ideal number of compartments for bacteria, but also provide a range of varying-sized parties that can suit more of the bacteria’s needs. In experiments with a kitchen sponge, the researchers found that the resulting bacterial community was more diverse than those produced in liquid cultures, a common method of growing bacteria in a laboratory.
Fortunately, the bacteria partying in your sponge are mostly nonpathogenic. But if dangerous bacteria do show up, the sponge’s special structure will probably help them thrive.
“Sponges are not really well-suited for kitchen,” says Markus Egert, a microbiologist, who did not take part in the study.“There is hardly any surface without bacteria at home, but the kitchen sponge is probably the most populated item at home.”
The good news is that it’s easy to solve the problem. Brushes are a much safer alternative. And if you love your sponge, don’t use it for meat juices. No need to invite bad bacteria to the party.
【1】What is the function of the first paragraph?
A.Introducing the topic of the text.
B.Drawing a scientific conclusion.
C.Comparing bacteria with human beings.
D.Providing a better environment for bacteria.
【2】What can be inferred from the experiment?
A.Bacteria can be removed from home.
B.Bacteria prefer to reproduce in large spaces.
C.Kitchen sponges will soon be replaced by brushes.
D.Kitchen sponges are ideal items to produce bacteria.
【3】What does the underlined word “nonpathogenic” mean in Paragraph 6?
A.Different
B.Safe
C.Healthy
D.Destructive
【4】Where is the passage most likely taken from?
A.A cookbook
B.A magazine

26、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
The Miracle
Charlie entered the shop and laid the damp fifty pence on the counter.
“One Wonka’s Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight,’’ he said, remembering how much he had loved the one he had on his birthday.
The man behind the counter looked fat. The fat around his neck bulged out all around the top of his collar like a rubber ring. He handed the chocolate bar to Charlie. Charlie grabbed it and quickly tore off the wrapper and took an enormous bite. Then he took another... and another... and oh, the joy of being able to cram large pieces of something sweet and solid into one’s mouth!
“You look like you wanted that one, sonny, ’’ the shopkeeper said pleasantly.
Charlie nodded, his mouth bulging with chocolate.
The shopkeeper put Charlie’s change on the counter. “Take it easy,” he said. “It’ll give you a tummy-ache if you swallow it like that without chewing.”
Charlie went on wolfing the chocolate. He couldn’t stop. And in less than half a minute, the whole thing had disappeared down his throat. He was quite out of breath, but he felt marvelously, extraordinarily happy. He reached out a hand to take the change. Then he paused. His eyes were just above the level of the counter. They were staring at the silver coins lying there. Surely it wouldn’t matter if he spent just one more.
“I think,” he said quietly, “I think. I’ll have just one more of those chocolate bars. The same kind as before, please.”
“Why not?” the fat shopkeeper said, reaching behind him again and taking another Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight from the shelf. He laid it on the counter.
Charlie picked it up and tore off the wrapper...and suddenly...from underneath the wrapper.. .there came a brilliant flash of gold.
Charlie’s heart stood still.
“It’s a Golden Ticket!” screamed the shopkeeper, leaping about a foot in the air. “You’ve got a Golden Ticket! You’ve found the last Golden Ticket! You will be one of the five lucky children to be shown around Wonka’s chocolate factory. Watch out now, sonny! Don’t tear it as you unwrap it! That thing is precious!”
In a few seconds, there was a crowd of about twenty people clustering around Charlie, and many more were pushing their way in from the street.
