Hong Kong isn't the first place you'd expect to find a peaceful island. But in a quiet corner of Sai Kung district (西贡区), a tiny green island offers a rare glimpse into the past.
Nicknamed "Ghost Island", Yim Tin Tsai (盐田仔) was once home to a flourishing Hakka (客家) community. They settled on the empty island and built salt pans (盐田) to earn a living. When the salt pans were shut down more than 100 years ago, most residents turned to farming and fishing.
In the 1960s, more and more families moved to other places. The last of the villagers on the island had moved abroad by the 1990s, and, in the following years, Yim Tin Tsai lay empty.
If travellers had visited Yim Tin Tsai a decade ago, they would have found nothing but overgrown weeds and crumbling houses. That's exactly what villager Colin Chan saw when he returned to the island after 40 years. But, for him, the island represented something special—a unique side of Hong Kong's history and culture that shouldn't be forgotten.
"I came back here hoping to recover something I felt I had lost," Colin said. "I found the island was in ruins and I was very sad. This is the place I grew up. This is my father's home and his father's home."
In 1999, Colin was elected as village representative and began what would become a lifelong mission: to make the island come alive. Together with about 10 former villagers, Colin raised money to build a visitor centre for travellers. In 2004, a charitable foundation donated funds to renovate the island's historical chapel (小教堂). In 2005, UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation honoured the chapel with an award of merit (优异奖).
Motivated by this, the villagers organised a regular ferry schedule to enable travellers to reach the island, and set out to showcase the village's unique history. They built a heritage trail, repaired Hakka ancestral homes, created a museum, and even started an organic farm that sits at the foot of the church.

答案： 1. C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They settled on the empty island and built salt pans(盐田) to earn a living. When the salt pans were shut down more than 100 years ago, most residents turned to farming and fishing.”可知，这些客家人在岛上定居后，建造盐田谋生，盐田关闭后，又转向务农和捕鱼。故选C。
2. B 词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“If travellers had visited Yim Tin Tsai a decade ago, they would have found nothing but overgrown weeds and crumbling houses.”可知，如果游客十年前来过盐田仔，那时的盐田仔已经变成荒岛，所以只会看到杂草丛生和摇摇欲坠的房屋。crumbling 表示“破碎的”，同义表达为broken。故选B。→形容词
3. B 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句话以及第五段中的“I came back here hoping to recover something I felt I had lost,’ Colin said. ‘I found the island was in ruins and I was very sad. This is the place I grew up. This is my father's home and his father's home.’”可知，科林回到盐田仔的原因主要有：为了保存香港历史和文化独特的一面，为了找回自己已经失去的特殊感觉，为了不让自己父亲及祖父的家变为废墟。而B项是他回到盐田仔之后发生的事，不属于原因。故选B。
4. B 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，村民们组织了定期轮渡接送游客，展示村庄独特历史，并修建了遗址古道，恢复了客家祖屋，创建了博物馆，开办了有机农场等。由此可推知，现在的盐田仔已经变成了一个生机勃勃的地方。故选B。
