Beijing picked up HK University while giving up the nearby Peking or Tsinghua 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 craz e(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.
B. Higher education in Hong Kong.
C. The competition between HK University and Peking University.
D. The fall of mainland universities.
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
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
D. are proud of their teaching staff and facilities
B. The opportunities come for top students to study abroad.
C. Mainland universities should make full preparations to challenge mainland universities.
D. Top students should be offered further education free of charge.

commercial whaling and is now listed as an endangered species. Attaching radio devices to it is difficult,
and visual sightings are too unreliable to give real insight into its behavior.
So biologists were delighted early this year when, with the help of the Navy, they were able to track a
particular blue whale for 43 days, monitoring its sounds. This was possible because of the Navy"s formerly top-secret system of underwater listening devices spanning the oceans.
Tracking whales is but one example of an exciting new world just opening to civilian scientists after the cold war as the Navy starts to share and partly uncover its global network of underwater listening system
built over the decades to track the ships of potential enemies.
Earth scientists announced at a news conference recently that they had used the system for closely
monitoring a deep-sea volcanic eruption (爆发) for the first time and that they plan similar studies.
Other scientists have proposed to use the network for tracking ocean currents and measuring changes
in ocean and global temperatures.
The speed of sound in water is roughly one mile a second-slower than through land but faster than
through air. What is most important, different layers of ocean water can act as channels for sounds,
focusing them in the same way a stethoscope (听诊器) does when it carries faint noises from a patient"s
chest to a doctor"s ear. This focusing is the main reason that even relatively weak sounds in the ocean,
especially low-frequency ones, can often travel thousands of miles.
B. the civilian use of a military detection system
C. the exposure of a U.S. Navy top-secret weapon
D. a new way to look into the behavior of blue whales
B. to monitor deep-sea volcanic eruptions
C. to study the movement of ocean currents
D. to replace the global radio communications network
B. the capability of sound to travel at high speed
C. the unique property of layers of ocean water in transmitting sound
D. low-frequency sounds traveling across different layers of water____
B. blue whales are no longer endangered with the use of the new listening system
C. opinions differ as to whether civilian scientists should be allowed to use military technology
D. military technology has great potential in civilian use
B. It has been replaced by a more advanced system.
C. It became useless to the military after the cold war.
D. It is indispensable in protecting endangered species.
fancy dress. Chickens, which have long provided food for dinner, will also be used to make our clothes
as well. Last Monday, a report by the University of Nebraska in the US said in the future it should be
possible to use chicken feathers and rice straw to make clothes.
"All those wasted agriculture products don"t have to be wasted anymore," researcher Yiqi Yang said.
New technology will change these by-products into something similar to wool, linen, or cotton. Because
producing synthetic fabrics (合成纤维) causes pollution, scientists wanted to find a cheaper and
environmentally friendly replacement. They turned their eyes to the millions of tons of rice straw and
chicken feathers that are widely and cheaply available worldwide. Moreover they don"t cause pollution
like petroleum-based fibers (石油合成纤维).
Chicken feathers are mostly made up of the same kind of protein found in wool. A sweater made
from chicken feathers would feel just like a wool sweater. It would be lighter in weight and warmer, too.
According to Yang and his team, rice straw, on the other hand, can produce a fabric that looks and
feels similar to cotton or linen. The process is also environmentally friendly. The total production cost of
rice fiber is about 50 cents per pound, while cotton now sells for about 60 cents a pound.
Maybe some day in the future you will wear fabulous clothes like these.
B. At present, chicken feathers and rice straw are useless for producing synthetic fabrics.
C.The environmentally friendly products will take the place of the non-environmentally friendly ones.
D. Scientists have not made any progress in the environmentally friendly products.
B. The clothes will be widely used in every field in our daily life.
C. The process of producing the clothes does not cheap at all.
D. A sweater made of the new clothes would be lighter in weight and warmer.
B. incredible
C. awful
D. ridiculous
the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.
Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right
answers on the test. But it doesn"t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won"t help on the
next test -unless the person cheats again.
Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad
because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will
be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.
Some kids cheat because they"re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the
time studying. Other kids might feel like they can"t pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems
to be a "good reason" for cheating, cheating isn"t a good idea.
If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn"t study, it would be better to
talk with the teacher about this. And if you don"t have enough time to study for a test because of swim
practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school.
A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her
parents so they can find some solutions(解决办法) together. Talking about these problems and working
them out will feel better than cheating.
B. it does harm to their heath
C. teachers should punish them
D. teachers shouldn"t stop them at once
B. they want to do better than the others
C. cheating can make hard things seem very easy
D. they have little time to study their lessons
B. why kids cheat in the test
C. some kids can"t pass the test without cheating
D. some kids don"t spend the time studying
B. find good solutions instead of cheating
C. try hard to be intelligent rather than lazy
D. ask their classmates for good methods of study
these searches have been done over the radio. The hope is that someone in outer space may be trying to
get in touch with us. Scientists also have sent radio and television messages on spaceships traveling
through space, on the chance that someone may be receptive (善于接受的) to such messages.
Scientists are using powerful radio telescope to listen to signals from about 1,000 stars, all within 100
light years of earth. In addition, they will scan (扫视) the entire sky to "listen" for radio messages from
more distant stars. Using a computer, they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at one time.
Scientists are looking for any signal that stands out from the background noise.
Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy (银河星系), scientists find that five percent are like
our sun. Perhaps half of them have a planet like earth. Such a planet would be a reasonable distance from
the star for temperatures to be right for the evolution of life. Based on the inhabitable (that can be lived in) planets in our galaxy, most scientists agree that chances are likely that one or more of these planets
support some life.
However, many scientists wonder whether intelligent (有智力的) life exists on other planets. Some
believe that twenty years of searching without any intelligible (可理解的) messages shows that no one is
out there. They say that the evolution of intelligence comparable to ours is unlikely.
Other scientists believe that our search hasn"t been long enough to rule out the possibility that intelligent
life exists in our galaxy. Although our sun family in only about five billion years old, our galaxy is about 20
billions years old. In that time, some scientists think it is likely that civilizations are much more advanced
than ours. Perhaps these civilizations (文明) send us no signals; perhaps we have not recognized the
signals they have sent us. If we hope to find intelligent life, these scientists believe that we have to keep
looking.
B. 10 billion
C. 15 billion
D. 200 billion
B. why scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
C. where scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
D. when scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
B. follow
C. check
D. form
B. Most scientists believe that there is intelligent life on other planet.
C. Scientists are trying different ways to find signs of life on other planet.
D. Scientists don"t believe that there might be life on other planets.
a world filled with smart robots, which will be helping you to take care of your children, or your elderly
parents in your home. You"ll live much longer thanks to the medicine made by genetic (基因的) science.
And mankind may be going farther in space than ever before-you will be living on the moon or Mars.
How should we view the changes that wait for us in the future? Should we be optimistic about the years
ahead, or worried about what the future holds? Some scientists and experts are having a discussion about how technology, science and society will develop in the future.
"I"m looking forward to the day when more technology will come to my life," says John Searle, a
professor at the University of California Berkeley Philosophy, "because I think further research in such
areas as genetics, physics, chemistry and medicine will help us to overcome poverty, improve health,
and make life longer."
Hugh Herr, at MIT"s Biomechatronics Group, considers very powerful weapons as concern over
the future. Another is the growing role of technology in our lives."Machines taking over what humans
do is not a good thing," Herr says.
That is a similar concern shared by Daniela Cerqui, a social and cultural scientist. "I am afraid
that the long-term future we are building will have no space left for human beings," says Cerqui. "The
main values of our society are related to information that must progress as quickly as possible, and
computers are much better than humans in these tasks ."
B. how people will live in a modern society
C. what life would be like in the future
D. what computers will bring to our society
B. Optimistic.
C. Uncertain.
D. Disappointed.
B. machines taking over what humans do
C. the technology of weapons
D. the health problem of humans
B. Great changes will take place in the future
C. The relationship between technology and humans
D. The role of robots and computers in the future
