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.

Ever since he got into the Hong Kong film industry in 1994 with He’s a Woman, She’s a Man, Hong Kong director, Peter Chan has been one of the industry’s most powerful voices. Later in 1996, another milestone Comrades: Almost a Love Story came into being. Chan’s latest film, American Dreams in China is a carefully-calculated film with an eye toward opening the mainland cinema market.

American Dreams in China is a film purely for Chinese audiences, but how it plays there remains to be seen. It sends the right messages, but whether that’s enough to make it a hit is everyone’s guess. Mainland audiences aren’t quite that easy to “speak” to.

The film began during the period of economic reforms in China in the 1980s. The bookish farm boy Cheng Dongqing (Huang Xiaoming), the ambitious and confident boy Meng Xiaojun (Deng Chao) and the poetic Wang Yang(Tong Dawei), were three friends at university in Beijing and preparing for American visa interviews. Wang was the first to be granted the visa but he gave it up for his western girlfriend, and Cheng was repeatedly denied. Only Meng actually got a study visa. As he was leaving, he told his friends that he wouldn’t come back.

Several years later, Cheng and Wang built a successful school, New Dream, from the ashes of Cheng’s misfortune(his girlfriend got a visa too, and Cheng lost his university teaching job) and Wang’s ability to connect with students often through Hollywood movies. In America, Meng suffered a lot. Disappointed, he went home and joined his friends at New Dream. Later, the three friends’ relationship became worsened, but finally was improved under the weight of their common goals.

1.Which of the following films made Peter Chan a most influential director in Hong Kong?

A. American Dreams in China

B. Comrades: Almost a Love Story

C. New Dream

D. He’s a Woman, She’s a Man

2.The underlined word “granted” (in paragraph 3) probably means “_________”.

A. prepared                                  B. given                                 C. involved             D. permitted

3.When the three men made preparations for American visa interviews, how many was/were offered a visa?

A. None                                          B. One.                                  C. Three.                               D. Two

4.What led Cheng and Wang to start a business?

A. The connection with Hollywood movies.

B. The weight of their common goals.

C. Cheng’s misfortune and Wang’s ability.

D. Meng’s disappointment and sufferings.

Hong Kong businesses hit by nearly two months of illegal street occupations breathed a collective sigh of relief on Wednesday. Police finally cleared illegal protesters camped at the main intersection in the Mong Kok district, arresting two student leaders.

More than 7,000 officers backed bailiffs (执达官，法警)clearing occupied sections of Argyle Street and Nathan Road. The two-day operation saw 148 people arrested for various offenses, including contempt (藐视) of court, resisting arrest, possession of offensive weapons, unlawful gathering and attacking police.

The Chief Leader Stephen Hui said 22 officers were injured during the clearances.

Police used pepper spray and batons (警棍)to keep protesters from reclaiming cleared roads and from spreading the illegal occupation to neighboring streets.

Six-lane Nathan Road, which goes through the heart of Kowloon, was cleared after nearly five hours. However, comments on the Internet said protesters were looking to reoccupy roads later in the evening.

This week's actions mark the first time the authorities have successfully cleared one of the three main protest sites, which sprang up after demonstrators seized key intersections in late September to press for unconstitutional reforms.

Contractor Kwan Sui-sum, 55, said he wished the Nathan Road clearance had come earlier, as he has had to pay HK$20,000 ($2,580) after the protesters delayed building reconstruction work. The owner of the Chung Hing Duty Free drug store was cautiously optimistic and eager for his store at the corner of the cleared intersection to get back to business. Sales dropped by 40 percent during the occupation, he said.

“I'm not worried about the guess that the protesters will return. I trust in Hong Kong's rule of law and in the police,” the man said, who wished to remain unknown as he fears attack from protesters.

But five stores at a cleared site owned by jewelry chain Chow Tai Fook were still closed hours later. A company spokesman said the outlets will remain shut while it continues to monitor the situation.

1.You can infer from the passage that _______.

A. the Hong Kong police cleared the roads at a cost

B. all the Hong Kong citizens are doubtful about the result of the clearances

C. all the illegal protesters were willing to leave the protest sites

D. the Hong Kong government’s attitude to the illegal protesters is unclear

2.In the two-day operation,_________.

A. many Hong Kong citizens joined in it

B. all the protest sites were cleared

C. many illegal protesters were arrested

D. all the stores were still open

3.What Hong Kong police will probably do next according to the passage?

A. They will help the owners of the stores do their businesses.

B. They will try their best to arrest other fled illegal protesters

C. They will help the officers injured during the clearances.

D. They will arrange to take more action to finish the clearances.

4.This passage is mainly about ______.

A. Hong Kong businesses hit by nearly two months of illegal street occupations

B. the event that police cleared Hong Kong protest sites

C. shop owners who wished to remain unknown as he fears attack from protesters

D. Hong Kong citizens who doubt the police's clearances
