When six the very best students from different cities in Guangdong province all together chose universities in Hong Kong; when the very best students of 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 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 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.
Furthermore, 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.
1.What is the passage mainly talking about?
A.Some thought brought by the enrollment of HK universities.
B.Higher education in Hong Kong.
C.The competition between HK University and Peking University.
D.The fall of mainland universities.
2.Top students from mainland apply for (申请) HK universities because ______.
A.many students now would love to study abroad to get a better experience
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
3.From the passage we can see HK universities _______.
A.didn’t mean to enroll top students from mainland
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
4.What does the author mean by saying “It’s time to move” in the last paragraph?

Superfast doubledecker (双层) trains will be taking passengers from London to six big cities in the UK by 2033. The first phase (阶段) linking London to the West Midlands with a connection to HS1 is expected to open in 2026, and the second phase to Manchester and Leeds in 2032.
The government set out a plan for the highspeed rail network in 2012. When the project is finished, it will take less time to get to London from major cities like Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds. Traveling at a speed of up to 250 mph, passengers will be able to come and go from Birmingham to London in 49 minutes, reducing the journey time by almost half from one hour and 24 minutes.
A journey from Birmingham to Leeds will be reduced from two hours to 57 minutes and a journey from Manchester to London will be reduced from two hours and 8 minutes to one hour and 8 minutes.
“HS2 is an important part of transport's lowcarbon future,” Transport Secretary Justine Greening said. Some people aren't happy about the plan, though. HS2 will cost around £33 billion. It will also be built near some towns and villages, disturbing the people that live there.
But the Chancellor of the Exchequer (财政大臣) George Osborne thinks it will help build the future for Britain. “It's a longterm decision,” he said.
HS2 is designed for everything around the needs of the passengers. It will provide a new and exciting travel experience. There will be plenty of room, intelligent ticketing, a good service and high quality comfort and access to trains. This is a transport network for the new century and beyond.
1.What's the UK's plan according to the passage?
A. To buy some doubledecker trains.
B. To take passengers to Manchester from London.
C. To build a highspeed train network.
D. To collect £33 billion for the highspeed train network.
2.How long does it usually take you to travel from Birmingham to London by the ordinary train?
A. 49 minutes. B. One hour and 24 minutes.
C. 57 minutes. D. Two hours and eight minutes.
3.What can NOT be inferred from what Justine Greening and George Osborne said?
A. HS2 is more important than HS1.
B. Not all British people are happy about the plan.
C. The British will benefit from the project in the future.
D. The £33 billion will not be enough for the plan.
4.The passage is most probably taken from ________.
A. a novel B. a geography book
C. a personal diary D. a newspaper
