Hong Kong, a city of seven million—and growing fast. By the year 2050 Hong Kong’s population will almost double. Where will these people live?

There’s only one place to go—up. Fast forward 50 years．This is the tallest man-made structure on the planet. Its name：Millennium Tower. It would stand twice as tall as anything built before. Over 60 thousand people would live or work here. Millennium’s designers think it represents the best solution for the coming population explosion.

It would cost ten billion dollars and consume more building materials than any single nation could produce. David Nelson, one of Millennium’s key designers, said：“It would be a massive project and a world project. But to actually realize it, resources would have to come from all over the globe. The challenge and the motivation for doing it would be to realize one of the world’s largest and most complex construction projects.”

Millennium would be more complex than anything ever built. So its builders won’t know for sure the building is safe until it’s up, and they can’t afford to make an error. Massive earthquakes have brought down entire cities in this part of the world. Can Millennium’s designers make it immune to these quakes of the earth?

For Millennium, like all the other buildings, safety is just one concern among many. It will need to be a home, one that welcomes people in. Getting people into the building and making sure they have a great experience well be what makes Millennium successful, but how to do it? For the design team, the secret was to bring all the elements of city life within. Cafes and restaurants, theatres and stores would provide entertainment. Health clubs, even schools and medical clinics would also serve the towers’ residents.

Millennium’s designers have proven something. Things that seem impossible today, might just become reality tomorrow. The engineering problems have, for the most part, already been solved. Our achievements are limited only by our imaginations.

1.Why did the designers decide to build Millennium?

A．Because they wanted to build the world’s most complex building.

B．Because Hong Kong’s population will greatly increase.

C．Because Hong Kong is developing fast as an international city.

D．Because it can bring huge profit after it is put to use.

2.What is TRUE about the project?

A．It will be completed in the year 2050.

B．It can accommodate all the residents in Hong Kong.

C．It is designed by designers from all over the globe.

D．It has to be strong enough to stand earthquakes.

3.The success of Millennium mainly relies on _______.

A．how many resources will be used

B．how many nations will work together

C．whether people can enjoy their life in it

D．whether it is safe for people to live in

4.How does the writer develop this passage?

A．By providing descriptions.　　 B．By using figures.

C．By giving examples.　　　　　 　 D．By analyzing causes.

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.

46．What is the passage mainly talking about?

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.

49．From the passage we can see HK universities           .

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
