For his first large-scale solo exhibition in Hong Kong, Yip explores the nature of human imagination and the depths of the subconscious mind. Organized by Mark Holborn, the exhibition is expected to be praised due to Yip’s vision of “New Orientalism”.‎ Where: HKDI Gallery, Hong Kong Design Institute, 3 King Ling Road, Tiu Keng Leng, Tseung Kwan O When: Until March 31, 2019‎ Alice’s Adventure at Starlight Garden What: Introduced last year, this exhibition became a huge hit, with more than 6,000 photos and videos posted online every day.

Greyhounds are good at fast races but not long-distance running. They do need regular exercise but they like to run for a short burst and then get back on the bed or a comfortable seat. Another misunderstanding is that greyhounds must be aggressive(好斗的) because they are big in size. In fact, greyhounds love people and are gentle with children.‎ Greyhounds can live for 12-14 years but usually only race for two or three years, and after that they make great pets. They don’t need a lot of space, don’t make a lot of noise, and don’t eat a lot for their size.‎ Normally, greyhounds can be as tall as 90 cm. There is, however, a small-sized greyhound, which stands only 33 cm. Greyhounds come in a variety of colors. Grey and yellowish-brown are the most common. Others include black, white, blue, red and brown or a mix of these.‎ Greyhounds have smooth body coats, low body fat and are very healthy. Because they’re slim（苗条的）, they don’t have the leg problems like other dogs the same height. But they do feel the cold, especially since they would much rather be at home in bed than walking around outside.‎ ‎24. The text is written mainly .‎ A. to tell people how to raise greyhounds ‎ B. to let people know more about greyhounds C. to explain why greyhounds are aggressive ‎ D. to describe greyhounds of different colors ‎25. It can be inferred that greyhounds .‎ A. love big doghouses B. like staying in bed all day C. make the best guard dogs D. need some exercise outdoors ‎26. Why does the author say that greyhounds make great pets?‎ A. They are big in size. ‎ B. They live a very long life.‎ C. They can run races for some time. ‎ D. They are quiet and easy to look after.‎ ‎27. If you keep a pet greyhound, it is important .‎ A. to keep it slim B. to keep it warm C. to take special care of its legs D. to take it to animal doctors regularly C Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station(加油站) about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register（收款台）, I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.‎ I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I get out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.‎ I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.‎ Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery(电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership—a shop selling cars—was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.‎ ‎“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?”I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you,‎ ‎ and it meant a lot, he said.‎ ‎“Thank you”—two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.‎ ‎28. The author planned to stop at Oklahoma City .‎ A. to visit a friend B. to see his parents C. to pay at the cash register D. to have more gas for his car ‎29. What happened when the author found smoke coming out of his car?‎ A. He had it pulled back to the gas station. ‎ B. The couple sent him a business card.‎ C. The couple offered to help him. ‎ D. He called his friend for help.‎ ‎30. The battery of the author’s car was dead because .‎ A. something went wrong with the lights ‎ B. the meeting lasted a whole day C. he forgot to turn off the lights ‎ D. he drove too long a distance ‎31. By telling his own experiences, the author tries to show .‎ A. how to write a thank-you letter ‎ B. how to deal with car problems C. the kindheartedness of older people ‎ D. the importance of expressing thanks D ‎“Who made your T-shirt?” A Georgetown University student raised that question. Pietra Rivoli, a professor of business, wanted to find the answer. A few weeks later, she bought a T-shirt and began to follow its path from Texas cotton farm to Chinese factory to charity bin (慈善捐赠箱). The result is an interesting new book , The Travels of a T-shirt in the Global(全球的) Economy.‎ Following a T-shirt around the world is a way to make her point more interesting, but it also frees Rivoli from the usual arguments over global trade. She goes wherever the T-shirt goes, and there are surprises around every corner. In China, Rivoli shows ‎ why a clothing factory, even with its poor conditions, means a step toward a better life for the people who work there. In the colorful used-clothing markets of Tanzania, she realizes, that “it is only in this final stage of life that the T-shirt will meet a real market,” where the price of a shirt changes by the hour and is different by its size and even color. Rivoli’s book is full of memorable people and scenes, like the noise, the bad air and the “muddy-sweet smell (泥土香味) of the cotton. ” She says, “Here in the factory, Shanghai smells like Shallowater, Texas.”‎ Rivoli is at her best when making those sorts of unexpected connections. She even finds one between the free traders and those who are against globalization. The chances opened up by trade are vast, she argues, but free markets need the correcting force of politics to keep them in check. True economic progress needs them both.‎ ‎32. What do we learn about Professor Rivoli?‎ A. She used to work on a cotton farm. ‎ B. She wrote a book about world trade.‎ C. She wants to give up her teaching job. ‎ D. She wears a T-shirt wherever she goes.‎ ‎33. By saying T-shirt “meet a real market”, Rivoli means in Tanzania .‎ A. cheaper T-shirts are needed.‎ B. used T-shirts are hard to sell C. prices of T-shirt rise and fall frequently D. prices of T-shirts are usually reasonable ‎ ‎34. What does the word “them” underlined in the last paragraph refer to ?‎ A. Free-markets. B. Price changes.‎ C. Unexpected connections. D. chances opened up by trade.‎ ‎35. What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. What T-shirt Can Do to Help Cotton Farms B. How T-shirt Are Made in Shanghai C. How T-shirt Are Sold in Tanzania D. What T-shirt Can Teach Us ‎ ‎ 第二节 七选五 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life.
