Helicopter (直升机) Transport
Helicopter transport is the most swift and convenient means for transportation between Hong Kong and Macau. The length of time for a journey is only 15 minutes.

27、 Most Americans see their pets as family members, surveys show. Those with dogs are more likely to call themselves pet “parents” than pet “owners”. There are more of these parents than ever. In big cities such as San Francisco and Seattle,(owned) dogs outnumber children.
The ways in which companies are profiting from the trend are also becoming various. Kinds of dog food and various pet mattresses (垫子) are always in hot sale. And it is not surprising that, for pets, Americans spent more than $400 million only on Halloween costumes this year. Overall, annual spending on pet food and products in America has risen by around 40% over the past ten years.
Now a pack of startups have sensed a fresh opportunity.
Much as Airbnb has offered travelers another choice instead of staying in a hotel, two firms, Recover and DogVacay, want to give pet owners an alternative to kennels (养狗场) when away from home. The cost is around $30 a night, with the majority of that going to the sitter, who takes care of the dog, and around a fifth to the company﹣much less than you would spend to check your dog into a kennel.
The other big sellingpoint is that pets will receive better treatment. There are ways, apparently, to vet (审查) dog hosts to the real pet lovers: only around 15% of those who apply to serve as sitters are passed. Besides offering more attention and room, Rover has launched a feature that helps customers to see how far their dog has been walked via the GPS in the host’s phone. Like Airbnb, both DogVacay and Recover insure stays against accidents.
Another advantage of the model is that consumers often use dog-sitting services many times a year, and they tend to be loyal. That has helped DogVacay and Recover attract a lot of money﹣around $140 million between them.
But firms that connect pets with hosts will face great competition as they try to go global. Companies offering homestays for dog rapidly appear in many different countries, including Australia, Brazil and Britain. And unlike Airbnb, which pulls in customers thanks to its presence in lots of markets that people want to travel to, the network effect for services like DogVacay is local.
Despite having predicted the trend early, such firms may never achieve the same scale as an Airbnb.But then no one ever said it was easy to be top dog.
【1】What do Rover and Dog Vacay do?
A.They are firms selling pet food and products.
B.They are agents helping startups with opportunities.
C.They are new companies providing pet-sitting service.
D.They are hotels offering rooms to pet owners.
【2】What does the number 15% suggest in the 5th paragraph?
A.Pets are most likely to receive better treatment.
B.There are fewer real pet lovers than expected.
C.Fewer people are willing to serve as pet sitters.
D.The requirement of pet sitters are not fair.
【3】What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph?
A.Rover and Dog Vacay are learning from Airbnb.
B.Rover and Dog Vacay are facing competition.
C.Rover and Dog Vacay should pick out the best dogs.
D.Rover and Dog Vacay are looking forward to having top dogs.
28、It is a known fact that a little bit of competition can be healthy and motivating, but too much competition can do harm to the learning experience. 【1】
Try your best. 【2】 Rather than focusing on beating your peers or doing the best in the class, emphasize simply doing the best that you can do. Make time each day to complete your coursework, give everything an honest effort, and ask your teachers questions when you need help.
Accept your mistakes. Don’t be too hard on yourself. You can’t make an A+ every time. When you get a grade you’re not happy with, take it as a learning opportunity and try to do better next time. 【3】 True, you feel disappointed, but think of ways you can do better next time, too.
【4】 Avoid toxic, competitive competitions with your peers. Make friends that encourage you and make you feel good about yourself. Find like-minded peers by joining clubs or teams that reflect your interests. Limit the time you spend with people who put you down or make you feel bad about yourself.
Avoid cheating. Be honest and maintain your integrity (诚实). Lying and cheating only help you feel superior to your peers temporarily. 【5】 Only turn in your own work, and don’t bring in notes or use your phone to cheat during a test. Cheating brings psychological damage, and you can also get into some pretty serious trouble if you get caught.
A.Surround yourself with positive people.
B.Let’s say you bombed an important test.
C.Don’t lose sight of what makes you special.
D.They won’t make you feel good in the long run.
E.This helps you feel good no matter what the results.
F.Always keep in mind that everybody is in a dog race with you.
G.Luckily, you can do a lot to minimize competition’s negative effects.
29、Health experts have long known that vitamin D is important for healthy bones and teeth. It may also help to protect the body against diseases such as diabetes and cancer. And now, researchers say vitamin D might help fight brain diseases called dementia (痴呆).
Dementia is a brain disease that damages thinking and memory processes, which scientists call “cognitive (认知) abilities.” Dementia is difficult to treat. Taking care of someone who has dementia is extremely demanding. And the disease is very frightening to sufferers. Chris Roberts suffers from dementia. He says the worst part of living with this disease was getting lost while driving. “The worst thing that I found was getting lost in the car, not just forgetting where I was going— I wouldn’t know where I was.” More than 47 million people around the world suffer from dementia. The World Health Organization reports that 60 percent of them live in low- and middle-income countries.
We get vitamin D from some foods like nuts, lentils (扁豆) and fatty fish. We also get vitamin D from the sun. But that is not dependable. In some parts of the world, there is not enough sunlight to provide enough vitamin D. Also, sunblock prevents the vitamin from entering the body. To add to the problem, the skin’s ability to process vitamin D weakens as a person ages.
Researchers at Rutgers University in New Jersey are exploring the relationship between vitamin D and dementia. The team recently measured vitamin D levels and cognitive ability in older people. Nutritional sciences professor Joshua Miller led the team. He said cognitive abilities differed among the study subjects. He said tests showed that about 60 percent of the group was low in vitamin D.
【1】Which of the following is true about vitamin D?
A.Vitamin D can decrease people’s risk of heart diseases.
B.Vitamin D helps the body fight against cancer.
C.Vitamin D is mainly obtained from the sun.
D.The need for Vitamin D decreases as people age.
【2】What does the underlined word “demanding” mean in Paragraph 2?
A.Boring but rewarding.
B.Disturbing and frightening.
C.Disgusting and stressful.
D.Hard and tiresome.
【3】What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.How vitamin D affects people’s health.
B.Where people get vitamin D.
C.Whether sunlight can produce vitamin
D.D. Why people’s age influences the production of vitamin D.
【4】Where can we most probably read the passage?
A.In a travel brochure.
B.In a literature magazine.
C.In a science journal.
D.In a commercial advertisement.
30、Lu Yiwei, a 19-year-old from Shanghai, proved his floristry(花艺) skills by winning the gold medal at the 45th World Skills Competition in Kazan, Russia, last month.
“It is commonly believed that floristry is a job ________ for girls,” he said. “But actually, it’s not an easy one because it requires heavy work, such as moving wood and large, heavy flowerpots—things that are ________when creating works—which requires strength.”
Lu was ________ by a vocational school(职业学校) in 2017, a year after he graduated from junior high school at age 16. “The first thing I learned was design.

Lu said he was not sure about the suggestion then. “Actually, I knew ________ about floristry. All I knew at the time was that some students in our school had won the 44th World Skills Competition in Abu Dhabi in 2017.”
Lu said he was in a poor condition when he ________ the competition. “Almost two weeks before I had the final training in July, I was ________of ideas, which was terrible for a competitor whose project needed new ideas. I got used to my new identity later, thanks to my ________who guided me with their patience and scientific training courses.”
His trip to Kazan was ________, but he enjoys the memory.
