I recently returned to my home city and my first stop was at a museum on the River Mersey. Blanketed
in mist (薄雾), Victorian architecture rose from the banks of the river, responded to the sounds of sea-birds,
and appeared unbelievably charming. When I headed toward the centre, I found myself surrounded by buildings
that mirror the best palaces of Europe. It is not hard to imagine why, on first seeing the city, most visitors
would be overpowered by the beauty of the noble buildings, which are solid signs of Liverpool"s history.
As if to stress its cultural role, Liverpool has more museums and galleries (美术馆) than most cities in
Britain. At Walker Art Gallery, I was told that it has the best collections of Victorian paintings in the world,
and is the home of modern art in the north of England. However, culture is more than galleries. Liverpool
offers many music events. As Britain’s No.1 music city, it has the biggest city music festival in Europe, and
its musicians are famous all over the world. Liverpool is also well-known for its football and other sports
events. Every year, the Mersey River Festival attracts thousands of visitors, making the city a place of wonder.
As you would expect from such a city, there are restaurants serving food from around the world. When
my trip was about to complete, I chose to rest my legs in Liverpool’s famous Philharmonic pub (酒馆). It is
a monument to perfection, and a heritage attraction itself.
Being a World Heritage Site, my home city is certainly a place of "outstanding universal value". It is a
treasure house with plenty of secrets for the world to explore.
B. its famous museums
C. its wonderful palaces
D. its attractive buildings
B. following the order of space
C. making comparisons
D. analyzing causes
B. Liverpool is an impressive place full of attraction
C. a pub is a wonderful place for visitors to relax themselves
D. a pub is a perfect choice for visitors to complete their journey
B. The exciting experience of the author in Liverpool
C. The special cultural atmosphere of Liverpool
D. The beautiful historic sites of Liverpool

the attention of people. Throughout history, advertising has been an effective way to promote (促进) the
trading and selling of goods. In the Middle Ages, merchants employed "town criers" to read public messages
aloud to promote their goods. When printing was invented in the fifteenth century, pages of advertisements
(ads) could be printed easily and were either hung in public places or put in books.
By the end of the seventeenth century, when newspapers were beginning to be read by more people,
printed materials became an important way to promote products and services. The London Gazette was the
first newspaper to set aside a place just for advertising. This was so successful that by the end of the century
several companies started businesses for the purpose of making newspaper ads for merchants.
Advertising spread quickly throughout the eighteenth century. Ad writers were starting to pay more
attention to the design of the ad text. Everything, from clothes to drinks, was promoted with clever methods
such as repetition of the firm"s name or product, words organized in eye-catching patterns, the use of pretty
pictures and expressions easy to remember.
Near the end of the nineteenth century, companies that were devoted to the production of ads came to be
known as "advertising agencies (广告商)." The agencies developed new ways to get people to think of
themselves as members of a group. Throughout the twentieth century, advertising agencies promoted
consumerism (消费主义) as a way of life, spreading the belief that people could be happy only if they bought
the "right" products.
B. Ad messages were shouted out in public places.
C. Product information was included in books.
D. Ad signs were put up in towns.
B. Including pictures in ads.
C. Selling goods in markets.
D. Working with ad agencies.
B. printing materials
C. advertising companies
D. attractive designs
B. The Value of Advertising Designs
C. The Role of Newspaper Advertising
D. The Development of Printing for Advertising
Baron of Sauerbronn (1785-1851) hadn"t been such a lazy person,the bicycle may never have been invented
at all.
Although he had a very important title (and was also a qualified and skillful engineer), the Baron was in
fact a forest ranger, in other words, a gardener with responsibility for a very large garden. He was in charge
of several hundred square kilometers of royal garden and forests in Central Germany.
In 1817, he invented a "running machine" that would help him get round the estate more quickly. The
machine was made of wood, and had two wheels, which were the same size. The machine had a wooden
frame and a leather seat. The rider rode the machine like a horse,but with his feet on the ground. After running
for a while, he could then take his feet off the ground and glide along. It was possible to change direction by
controlling the front wheel, but there were no brakes! In 1863, a Frenchman called Pierre Lallement attached
pedals (踏板) to the front wheel of a bicycle, and the modern idea of a bicycle was born.
Every generation sees new designs and new interest in bicycles. Mountain bikes, for example, transformed
the way people thought about cycling and introduced a new sport,which was accepted into the Olympics in
1996.
New materials such as titanium and carbon fiber are now used to build strong, lightweight machines and
combined brake and gear systems have been developed. Englishman Chris Boardman astonished the world in
the 1990s with his carbon fiber Lotus bicycle, winning Olympic gold in the 4,000 meters track pursuit (追逐)
in Barcelona. More recently, the Great Britain team took several medals at the Athens Olympics.
For most people, however, the bicycle remains what it has always been-a pollution-free way of taking
exercise and getting from A to B.
B. the mountains in Central Germany
C. the forests near the Baron"s house
D. the large garden and forests the Baron in charge of
B. with two wooden wheels like a wooden horse with pedals
C. so he could walk faster around the garden
D. to ride downhill with his feet off the ground
B. Someone responsible for a big estate of loyal forests and gardens.
C. Someone responsible for the gardens in the whole of Central Germany.
D. Someone who was a qualified engineer looking after running machines.
B. the need for new kinds of bicycles
C. the discovery of useful new materials and new ideas
D. the Olympics and competitive cycling sports
release (发表) his new novel on the Internet.
Ta De Guo (His Country), of which Han Han has finished only one tenth so far, will be available for paid
reading from December 1st on Qidian.com, the online library has announced.
Han Han will update the story every day and finish the book before the end of the year. A printed edition
will only be produced after all of the content goes online, sources said.
To read the entire book, readers will have to pay eight yuan, or 0.08 yuan per 1,000 words. This is almost
four times the price of an average writer on Qidian.com.
Lu Jinbo, a well-known publisher, estimated that a popular writer like Han Han is likely to attract 20 million
subscribers. That means this high-school-dropout-turned popular author could bring in 160 million yuan, nearly
40 times as much as he earned in copyright royalties (版税) last year.
On the 2007 list of Chinese millionaire writers, Han Han ranked 13th with 3.8 million yuan. The richest, Guo
Jingming, earned 11 million yuan.
Statistics from China Internet Network Information Center show that there are at least 253 million Internet
users in China. Such a large-scale Internet population has developed a prosperous industry for online novel
writing. Among the many success stories is Zhang Muye, an office worker whose fantasy novel Ghost Blows
out the Light made him the 19th wealthiest author in 2007.
Besides the potential to gain a large readership base, the Internet writers are being recognized professionally.
The jury (评委) of the Mao Dun Literature Prize, the most prestigious (有影响力的) honor for Chinese writers,
is considering adding a category for online writers.
B. it"s convenient to write online

however, make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which are considered taboo (禁忌) in
a particular culture. Latin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history,art,and customs.
You may expect questions about your family, and be sure to show pictures of your children. You may feel
free to ask similar questions of your Latin American friends. The French think of conversation as an art
form, and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements. For them, arguments can be
interesting-and they can cover pretty much or any topic-as long as they occur in are spiteful and intelligent
manner.
In the United States, business people like to discuss a wide range of topics, including opinions about work,
family, hobbies, and politics. In Japan, China, and Korea, however, people are much more private. They do
not share much about their thoughts, feelings, or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away
from the harmonious business relationship they"re trying to build. Middle Easterners are also private about
their personal lives and family matters. It is considered rude, for example, to ask a businessman from Saudi
Arabia about his wife or children.
As a general rule, it"s best not to talk about politics or religion with your business friends. This can get
you into trouble, even in the United States, where people hold different religious views. In addition, discussing
one"s salary is usually considered unsuitable. Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world,
although be careful not to criticize fl national sport. Instead, be friendly and praise your host"s team.
B. taboo
C. rude topics
D. topics that can never be talked about
B. Children.
C. Personal feelings.
D. Families.
B. They don"t want to have their good relationship with others harmed by informal conversation.
C. They are afraid to argue with their colleagues.
D. They want to keep their feelings to themselves.
B. Criticizing your own country"s sports.

D. Criticizing the sports of your colleagues" country.
famous Top of the Hub was wonderful, especially the lobster soup and warm chocolate cake.
But it wasn"t the choice of restaurant that was making me so happy this particular Saturday night. It was
that we had enjoyed a day of college touring in Boston without everyone feeling bored.
Anyone who has ever toured colleges with a high school student-and I"m on my third round-knows that"s
no small feat. I"ve driven four hours to a college, but my son refused to get out of the car because he didn"t
like the 1ook of the campus; I"ve flown halfway across the country, but my daughter gave up before the tour
because she didn"t like the way the other future college students looked and because the campus was "too flat".
You can imagine my pleasure this Saturday night in America"s College Town (Boston is believed to have
the most colleges and universities in a city area). 16-year-old Melanie was thoroughly enjoying herself. It helped
that we booked a new hotel, the Liberty Hotel, built on the site of a former jail and had time to visit the Museum
of Science, which was a short walk from our hotel.
Boston has become a popular college tour stop, so don"t think you can avoid the crowds by touring
campuses in winter. Also, don"t plan to visit more than two campuses a day. An official says that it"s important
to spend some time exploring the surrounding area as well as the campus to get a true sense of what it would
be like to go to school there.
Boston, with so many different kinds of schools, is a great place to reassure (使……安心) your nervous
child, and yourself, that there is indeed a school where they will feel welcome and where they will be happy.
B. Choosing a good college for your kids.
C. The rise in touring of Boston"s colleges.
D. Tips for college selecting in Boston.
B. it"s hard to get children interested in visiting universities
C. children don"t want their parents to be with them while visiting
D. the places they visited are too simple and boring
B. That the hotel was near America"s College Town.
C. That the universities were concentrated in the city area.
D. That they booked a new hotel built on a former jail.
B. To have a good look at the university they have applied to.
C. To find a sch001 which they really like.
D. To enjoy the cultural sites around the universities.
