On the first day of the New Year, I flew to Hong Kong, one of my dream cities. I had imagined Hong Kong as a city surrounded by the blue ocean, covered by large greenery and with lots of natural and artificial beautiful scenes. I expected it to combine the cultures of both the East and the West since it is well-known as a global fashion centre. When my plane landed over the bridges connecting the islands in the evening, I saw that the city was dotted with millions of lights, just like stars shining in the sky. This first impression was not bad. But next morning it became a disaster, as I walked out of my hotel located in North Point. I was frightened by the scene of the city before me. I could only think of one word in my brain: mess. I was prepared for Hong Kong to be very crowded since every big city is. I had thought that I would be able to stand it because I am from Shanghai. But I was wrong. I was totally shocked by the mess and breathlessness of this city.

Every street was jammed with shops and every shop was jammed with goods, let alone (更不用说) the crowds of stalls on the roadsides. The whole city looked like a grocery. Streets were narrow and I didn't find a two-way road all day. People struggled to throw themselves into the buses and cars could hardly move in the downtown. This city is absolutely over-constructed. People should have realized space was limited when seeking more living facilities. The overloaded land endangers the prosperity (繁荣) of the city. Nobody will prefer living or sightseeing in such a crowded city. I think there is an important lesson for Shanghai to learn from Hong Kong, for Shanghai is undergoing speedy development and massive urban construction. Careful planning is essential not only because over-heated urban construction brings economic risks but also because it could lead to the same embarrassing situation as now in Hong Kong.

Fortunately, Shanghai is not an island city like Hong Kong, so we have opportunities to do better in 20 years' time -- roughly the same period that Shanghai is now believed to fall behind Hong Kong in its level of urban development. Think ahead.

24. On the second day in Hong Kong, the writer felt ________.

A. satisfied          B. disappointed        C. excited          D. happy

25. We can get the information from the passage that ________.

A. the writer thinks it comfortable to live in Hong Kong.

B. Hong Kong develops much more slowly than Shanghai.

C. in spite of the prosperity of Hong Kong, the writer dislikes living there.

D. Hong Kong is well constructed though it is crowded.

26. From the passage, we can infer that _______.

A. we shouldn’t travel or shop in Hong Kong.

B. everyone prefers living in a big city like Hong Kong.

C. careful planning isn’t needed for big cities in order to develop rapidly.

D. if carefully planned, Shanghai can do better than Hong Kong in the future.

27. The author intends to tell us that ________.

A. we should learn a lesson from Hong Kong.

B. he made an awful travel to Hong Kong.

C. Hong Kong is over-constructed.

D. there are some differences between Shanghai and Hong Kong
