Ocean Park Hong Kong is a theme park in the Southern District of Hong Kong Island. The park was built with donations from the Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club (now Hong Kong Jockey Club) and opened on 10 January 1977. Today it offers affordable marine animal education and entertainment and is a private organization for commercial purpose.
    In the early operation of the park, the main sources of income for the park were the ticket prices and the funding from the Jockey Club. Since the ticket price was low, most of the time Ocean Park was operating under deficit（财政赤字）. In July 1987, the government established a 200 million trust(信托基金) from the funding of Jockey Club, under the Ocean Park Corporation Ordinance. This separated Ocean Park from Jockey Club and became a non-profit organization; it needs to be responsible for its own income and was allowed to use commercial means to operate the park.
    Since it was permitted to use commercial means to operate, it gradually raised its ticket price and the deficit turned into profit. In 1992, 3 million visitors visited the park. Since 1998, the East Asian financial crisis（经济危机）, aging attractions, and the passing away of the killer whale,　 the park recorded a deficit for a couple years. Although it was allowed to host 2 pandas in 1999, the number of visitors did not go up and Ocean Park was forced to close its water attractions and the "Old Village" attraction and turned to bring in more rides in an attempt to capture the youth demand. Together with the opening up of mainland visitors under the Individual Visit Scheme, Ocean Park recorded an astonishing 4 million visitors in the year 2004-2005, the highest since the park opened.
   In March 2005, Ocean Park made its redevelopment plan. On 23 November 2006, Ocean Park held a groundbreaking ceremony for its redevelopment.

1.At the beginning, Ocean Park Hong Kong _________.
A. was built with the money from the government
B. sold its tickets at a high price
C. was a great success once it was opened
D. mainly got income from the ticket prices and donations

2.According to the passage, Ocean Park Corporation _________.
A. belongs to Hong Kong Jockey Club
B. is an official organization
C. operates successfully partly because the opening up of mainland visitors
D. can not use commercial means to operate

3.Ocean Park Corporation took all of the measures to overcome the deficits except _________.

A. raise ticket price　　　　　　　　　 B. close some attractions

C. try to attract young customers　　 D. host 2 pandas

4.Which of the following statements is Wrong?
A. Ocean Park Hong Kong is a theme park.
B. Ocean Park Hong Kong has taken on a new look since 2006.
C. The East Asian financial crisis didn’t have any influence on Ocean Park.
D. At present, Ocean Park Hong Kong also attracts many mainland customers.

Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated (人口密集的)cities in the world, but with night skies around 1,000 times brighter than globally accepted levels, it gains a bad reputation for its light pollution.

A study by Hong Kong University found that brightness levels in the southern Chinese city's popular shopping district of Tsim Sha Tsui were 1,200 times greater than the international dark sky standard.

The crowded city of 7 million residents(居民), full or residential high-rises, towering office blocks and neon(霓虹灯) advertisements, has no laws to control outdoor lightning.

The result is that light pollution is thought to be much worse than in other large cities, including London, Sydney, Tokyo and Shanghai.

“In Hong Kong , you can’t go anywhere outdoor in the evening without your eyes being blinded by this really disturbing outdoor lightning,” the light pollution survey’s head Jason Pum told AFP.

“The fact that we have all this light in the sky means energy is wasted,” he said, adding that too much artificial lightning also affects nightly wildlife.

Research has suggested that light pollution can cause a number of harmful health effects in humans, including sleeplessness and headaches and can also interrupt body clocks and hormones(荷尔蒙).

The university survey, the result of five million measurements taken from points across the city, was released just days before the start of the annual Earth Hour event, organized by the World Wildlife Fund.

People around the world will be encouraged to turn off the lights for an hour on Saturday night to raise awareness of climate change. Last year, a number of Hong Kong’s major buildings along Victoria Harbour went dark to mark Earth Hour.

“Anyway, we should do our best to reduce the amount of lightning and adjust it for the benefit of the environment.”

1.If you walk out at night in Hong Kong, you can see all those things except ______.

A. neon advertisements              B. residential buildings

C. a dark sky with twinkling stars      D. high office blocks

2..which of the following statements about too much lightning is NOT true?

A. Too much lightning means a waste of energy.

B. It can make the sky and the city more beautiful.

C. It may have a bad effect on nightly wildlife.

D. It can lead to some health problems.

3..We can know from the passage that__________

A. light pollution in Hong Kong is among world’s worst.

B. light pollution is the biggest problem in Hong Kong.

C. Earth Hour is simply organized to reduce pollution.

D. light pollution is the primary causes of sleeplessness.

4..what will the author probably discuss after the last paragraph?

A. Bad effects of light pollution

B. Causes of light pollution

C. Worries about light pollution

D. Ways to reduce light pollution
