2 Matching 2000 AS UE

3 69. Once you do it the first time, you’re hooked – until you’ve assembled your own collection of happy snappy sticker photos, that is. Only one logical choice. Look for an option related to a collection of sticker photos. I. Priced at $30-$40 per sheet, the machines to make them are everywhere, and they are now available in 3-D. I = correct

4 70. People love this beautiful stretch of white sand which is so tranquil they forget they’re in Hong Kong. H. They provide a rare opportunity to connect with nature without having to leave the urban area. (70) talks about “one stretch of white sand”, but the subject in (H) is “they”. M. And, as surfers will attest, there’s even the occasional wave at Tai Long Wan in Sai Kung East Country Park, rated as the SAR’s cleanest non-gazetted beach. Stretch of white sand = beach M = correct

5 71. Refreshing, creamy, downright irresistible mango pudding has to be the best dessert in town, so much so that one popular hotel sells 200 orders of it at lunch every day. D. Cheap local food- to-go in the morning may have debatable nutritional value, but it definitely tastes good. (D) talks about food eaten in the morning, but (71) talks about pudding eaten at lunchtime. F. For a smoother spoonful, smother it in evaporated milk first. You eat pudding with a spoon and you can put evaporated milk on it. F = correct

6 72. Victoria Harbour glows every Christmas and Lunar New Year with buildings draped in colourful celebratory lights. E. Especially when you don’t have to peer through a polluted haze to see it. The tone in (72) is positive but the tone in (E) is negative. K. Shun Sze Company is one of the main companies responsible for these spectacular displays, using a total of 130,000 bulbs for last year’s festive seasons. Bulb = light Christmas/Lunar New Year = festive seasons K = correct

7 73. Hong Kong’s clean, speedy and reliable MTR may have had its hiccups here and there – including malfunctioning Octopus cards, air-con glitches and occasional suicidal commuters. G. We couldn’t live without this zippy form of transport – except when steered by near-blind drivers. Trains have conductors, not drivers. The reference to being “near-blind” seems out of place. L. It gets 2.4 million people a day where they’re going, though. Even though (73) describes some of the MTR’s shortcomings, the word “may” is an indication that the overall tone will be positive. 2.4 million people sounds like an accurate estimate of the number of MTR commuters every day. L = correct

8 74. Colourful signs are literally one of the city’s most brilliant features. B. And the carpark next to Shun Tak Centre in Sheung Wan boasts the world’s biggest neon one; it’s made out of more than 13 kilometers of glass tubing. Neon one = neon sign K. Shun Sze Company is one of the main companies responsible for these spectacular displays, using a total of 130,000 bulbs for last year’s festive seasons. The reference to the festive season seems out of place. B. correct.

9 75. Nestled between the concrete monstrosities of Central’s bustling business district are the Hong Kong Zoological and Biological Gardens, a haven for several endangered species. E. Especially when you don’t have to peer through a polluted haze to see it. We refer to “gardens” in (75), but “it” in (E). H. They provide a rare opportunity to connect with nature without having to leave the urban area. They = gardens Nature = gardens Urban area = Central H = correct

10 76. From the TST promenade, from the Peak, from the Kwun Tong flyover – from anywhere overlooking the harbour – there’s nothing like a glimpse, especially a night- time one, of the city skyline. E. Especially when you don’t have to peer through a polluted haze to see it. What might be difficult to see because of pollution? K. Shun Sze Company is one of the main companies responsible for these spectacular displays, using a total of 130,000 bulbs for last year’s festive seasons. The reference to the festive season seems out of place. E = correct

11 77. We love becoming frenzied shopaholics when the sales are on. A. And in these recessionary days, they seem to last all year. They = sales When there’s a recession, there are many sales. I. Priced at $30-$40 per sheet, the machines to make them are everywhere, and they are now available in 3-D. The references to machines and being available in 3-D seem out of place. A = correct

12 78. They’re terrifyingly fast and dangerously reckless, but our public light buses are cheap and convenient. G. We couldn’t’ live without this zippy form of transport – except when steered by near-blind drivers. Public light buses are a zippy (quick) form of public transport and the drivers can seem to be near-blind (bad). L. It gets 2.4 million people a day where they’re going, though. (78) refers to “buses”, but (L) refers to “it”. G = correct

13 79. The HK versions of a quick donut and coffee for breakfast are peanut butter toast or hot rice flour rolls smothered in peanut, sweet chili and soy sauce. D. Cheap local food- to-go in the morning may have debatable nutritional value, but it definitely tastes good. The foods in (79) may not be very healthy, but they do taste good. F. For a smoother spoonful, smother it in evaporated milk first. You don’t eat the different kinds of foods in (79) with a spoon. (79) refers to “rolls” but (F) refers to “it”. D = correct

14 80. Yes, they stink and, yes, they stock packets of some of the weirdest forms of animal and plat life, including seahorses and frog’s ovaries. C. But Hong Kong’s dried food shops are essential for delectable dinners and healthy homemade soups. “they” in (80) = “dried food shops in (C) The foods in (80) are ingredients in homemade soups and other types of Chinese food. D. Cheap local food-to-go in the morning may have debatable nutritional value, but it definitely tastes good. In (80), the subject “they” refers to a place which stocks strange food. It seems odd that this place is not identified in (D), which talks about “food-to-go”. C = correct
