The theme park, which opened on Sept. 12, 2005, did not achieve its expected number of visitors for the second year in a row. Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Frederick Ma told lawmakers, "The first two years of Hong Kong Disneyland’s operation were not satisfactory. The government will continue to urge (力劝) the park management to change business strategies and improve the park’s operational efficiency." In its first year, Hong Kong Disneyland fell 400,000 short of its goal of 5.6 million visitors. Park officials have been secretive about second-year numbers, but the local media reports estimated up to 4.8 million visited the park in its second year. "Even though we believe we do not have the responsibility to tell you the exact number of visitors, Hong Kong Disneyland has become one of the most visited theme parks in the world and a top attraction in Hong Kong since its opening two years ago," Hong Kong Disneyland spokeswoman Glendy Chu said in an e-mailed response. Hong Kong Disneyland, a major representative of Disney entertainment for mainland China, has been criticized for being too small, and lacking the rides of its international sister parks in Tokyo, Paris and the United States. It is also facing increased competition from Ocean Park, a local sea-based adventure park, and reports that Disney is planning to build a theme park in Shanghai could add further pressure to the Hong Kong site. The Hong Kong government owns a 57 percent stake in the park and paid for most of the 3.5 billion construction cost, but is reportedly not interested in spending more public money on the park’s expansion.60. From the passage we know Hong Kong Disneyland ________.A. was set up by the Hong Kong governmentB. reached its planned number of visitors in its first yearC. didn’t achieve its expected goal in the second year againD. blamed the Hong Kong government for its park strategies61. We know Glendy Chu _______. A. said Hong Kong Disneyland had about 4.8 million visitors in its second yearB. promised Hong Kong Disneyland would improve its operational efficiency C. thought Hong Kong Disneyland had done a great job since its opening D. admitted Hong Kong Disneyland was too small62. What’s the attitude of the Hong Kong government towards Disneyland’s performance?A. Unhappy. B. Unhelpful. C. Supportive. D. Concerned. C难度:★★★Criticism never changes a thing.

Think or Swim: Can We Hold Back the Oceans As the world gets warmer, sea levels are rising. It has been happening at a snail’s pace so far, but as it speeds up more and more low-lying coastal land will be lost. At risk are many of the world’s cities and huge areas of fertile farmland. The sea is set to rise a metre or more by the end of this century. And that’s just the start. "Unless there is a rapid and dramatic about-face in emissions-which no one expects-the next century will be far worse than this century," says glaciologist (冰川学家) Bob Bindshadler of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, Maryland. Throwing trillions of dollars at the problem could probably save big cities such as New York and London, but the task of defending all low-lying coastal areas and islands seems hopeless. Or is it Could we find a way to slow the accelerating glaciers, drain seas into deserts or add more ice to the great ice caps of Greenland and Antarctica These ideas might sound crazy but we have got ourselves into such a bad situation that maybe we should start to consider them. If we carry on as we are, sea levels will rise for millennia, probably by well over 10 metres. Slashing greenhouse gas emissions would slow the rise, but the longer we hesitate, the bigger the rise we will be committed to. Even if "conventional" geo-engineering schemes for cooling the planet were put in place and worked as planned, they would have little effect on sea level over the next century unless combined with drastic emissions cuts. In short, if coastal dwellers don’t want their children and grandchildren to have to abandon land to the sea, now is the time to start coming up with Plan C. So New Scientist set out in search of the handful of researchers who have begun to think about specific ways to hold back the waters. One of the reasons why the great ice sheets of Greenland and Antartica are already shrinking is that the ice is draining off the land faster. Ice floating on the surrounding seas usually acts as a brake, holding back glaciers on land, so as this ice is lost the glaciers flow faster. The acceleration of the Jakobshavn glacier in Greenland is thought to be the result of warm currents melting the floating tongue of the glacier. Other outlet glaciers are being attacked in a similar way. Mike MacCracken of the Climate Institute in Washington DC is one of those starting to think that we shouldn’t just sit back and let warm currents melt ice shelves. "Is there some way of doing something to stop that flow, or cool the water" he asks. Last year, physicist Russel Seitz at Harvard University suggested that the planet could be cooled by using fleets of customised boats to generate large numbers of tiny bubbles. This would whiten the surface of the oceans and so reflect more sunlight. MacCracken says the bubbles might be better arranged in a more focused way, to cool the currents that are undermining the Jakobshavn glacier and others like it. A couple of degrees of chill would take this water down to freezing point, rendering it harmless. "At least that would slow the pace of change," MacCracken says. What about a more direct approach: building a physical barrier to halt a glacier’s flow into the sea by brute force Bindshadler thinks that is a non-starter. "The ice discharge has many sources, mostly remote and in environments where barriers are not Likely to work," he says. "Taking just the one example I know best, the Pine Island glacier in Antarctica drains into an ice shelf that at its front is 25 kilometres across and 500 metres thick, and moves at over 10 metres per day. The seabed there is 1000 metres down and is made of sediment (沉淀物) hundreds of metres thick and the consistency of toothpaste." Not your ideal building site. A slightly more subtle scheme to rein in the glaciers was proposed more than 20 years ago by Douglas MacAyeal of the University of Chicago. His idea is to fight ice with ice. The big outlet glaciers feed into giant floating shelves of ice, which break off into icebergs at their outer edges. MacAyeal suggested pumping water up from beneath the ice and depositing it on the upper surface, where it would freeze to form a thick ridge, weighing down the floating ice shelf. Add enough ice in this way, and the bottom of the ice shelf would eventually be forced down onto the seabed. Friction with the seabed would slow down the shelf’s movement, which in turn would hold back the glaciers feeding into it. It would be like tightening an immense valve. "I think it’s quite an inspired idea," says Bindshadler. But nobody has followed it up to work out how practical the scheme would be. "On the back of an envelope it has promise-but these ice shelves are big. You would need a lot of drilling equipment all over the ice shelf, and my intuition is that if you look at the energetics of it, it won’t work," Bindshadler says. Even if we could apply brakes to glaciers, this would only slow down sea level rise. Could we do better than that and reverse it-actually make the sea retreat If you think of the sea as a giant bathtub, then the most obvious way to lower its level is to take out the plug. "One of the oldest notions is filling depressions on the land," says MacCracken. Among the largest of these is the Qattara depression in northern Egypt, wlrich at its lowest point is more than 130 metres below sea level. Various schemes have been proposed to channel water from the Mediterranean into the depression to generate hydroelectric (水力) power, and as a by-product a few thousand cubic kilometres of the sea would be drained away. Unfortunately, that’s only enough to shave about 3 millimetres off sea level: a drop in the ocean. And there would be grave consequences for the local environment. "The leakage of salt water through fracture systems would add salt to aquifers (含水层) for good," says Farouk El-Baz, a geologist at Boston University who has studied the region. Refilling the Dead Sea is no better. Because of surrounding hills, this depression could be filled to 60 metres above sea level, but even that would only offset the rise by 5 millimetres-and drown several towns into the bargain. The notion of engineering lower sea levels remains a highly abstract topic. "If the world doesn’t control emissions, I’m pretty sure that no geo-engineering solution will work-and it would potentially create other side effects and false promises," says MacCracken. "But if we do get on a path to curbing emissions dramatically-down 50 per cent by 2050, say-then the question becomes, can geoengineering help with the hump we’re going to go through over the next few centuriesDouglas MacAyeal advised to pump water up from beneath the ice to______ A. break down the glaciers B. fight ice with iceC. tighten an immense valve D. weigh down the floating ice shelf

Today, however, we needn't worry about feeling pain during the operation. The sick person falls into a kind of sleep, and when he awakes, the operation is finished. But these happy conditions are fairly new.It is not many years since a man who had to have an operation felt all its pain. Long ago, operations had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything. The sick man had to be held down on a table by force while the doctors did their best for him. He could feel all the pain if his leg or arm was being cut off, and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched. Soon after 1770, Josept Priestley discovered a gas which is now called "laughing gas".Laughing gas became known in America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time laughing, but one man at a party, Horace Wells, noticed that people didn't seem to feel pain when they were using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himself. He asked a friend to help him. Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Well's teeth. Wells felt no pain at all. As he didn't know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out. Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the man died. Wells never forgot this terrible event.18. Before 1770, when the sick man was operated on, he ____.A. could feel nothing B. could not want anything( )52. University of Oxford is about nine hundred years old.( )53.

It is almost like a reflex(条件反射)whenever we have a runny nose or a cough we reach for the antibiotics(抗生素)．But maybe you should think twice before you start taking those pills next time you have a bit of a cold． Many doctors warn that we are overusing and sometimes misusing antibiotics to treat common diseases． This could have bad results． Across the world， the problem of antibiotic resistance is growing， and the situation is especially bad in China． The average amount of antibiotics each Chinese person takes every year is almost three times the international level and ten times the level in the United States， Xiao Yonghong， a professor in Peking University， told the Guangming Daily on October 19． It is a common wrong idea that antibiotics work for all diseases right down to everyday coughs and colds． In fact， antibiotics only work against bacteria， and not viruses． Most forms of the common cold and flu are caused by viruses， so antibiotics are useless against them． The process of curing a disease is like a war． Antibiotics kill many kinds of bacteria which make you sick， but sometimes they also get "confused" and kill antibodies(抗体)in your body that should be helping to kill viruses． Sometimes the enemy bacteria may change themselves in order to fight back． When antibiotics are used wrongly or too often， the bacteria can develop faster． This worsens the infection and makes it harder to treat． Because of resistance to antibiotics， once treatable diseases are becoming fatal(致命的)again． In recent years， different kinds of "superbugs" have been showing themselves in many parts of the world． They can avoid any antibiotics we have and have caused many deaths． Since penicillin(青霉素)was discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1929， it has saved many lives worldwide． Before this discovery was made， even infections in small cuts could kill． However， overuse or misuse of this "life-saving" medicine could mean antibiotics turn against us in the war against disease．(1)What is the main purpose of the first paragraph？___A． To inform readers that antibiotics are useful in treating diseases．B． To warn readers of the dangers of antibiotics used improperly．C． To explain the serious situation of antibiotics misuse in China．D． To report on the invention of new antibiotics in the world．(2)In the war of curing a disease___A． antibiotics defeat antibodiesB． antibiotics kill bacteriaC． antibodies help virusesD． bacteria change themselves(3)Which of the following statements is true according to the passage？___A． Antibiotics work against all kinds of everyday coughs and colds．B． Large amounts of antibiotics are needed to kill "superbugs"．C． Penicillin is considered to be the best ever antibiotic in history．D． Bacteria may become resistant to antibiotics and develop faster．(4)What can we learn from the passage？___A． Antibiotics are the best to kill colds．B． Antibiotics never fight against antibodies．C． Misuse of antibiotics could lead to deathD． The use of antibiotics should be forbidden．

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding.

Americans experience more food recalls (召回) today than they did five years ago, especially when it comes to meat and poultry (家禽). Meat and poultry recalls increased by two-thirds from 2013 to 2018, while food recalls overall went up 10%, according to the report recently published by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group.Meanwhile, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates (估计) 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die from food-borne disease each year in the U.S. "We are looking for the farm-to-fork preventative solutions," said Adam Garber, the research group's consumer watchdog. "By doing that, we can protect people's health."Over the five-year period, poultry posted the most recalls (168), followed by beef (137) and pork (128). The report shows the most serious meat recalls are on the rise. Among meat and poultry, the number of Class I recalls has increased by 83%, nearly doubling.

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.
