解答 41．D．细节理解题．根据第2段内容可判断，该段讲述了利物浦的足球吸引世界各地的人们，所以推断这两个俱乐部是足球俱乐部，故答案是D．
42．C．细节理解题．根据第3段中"The pop quartet （四重唱表演小组） first put Liverpool on the world map in the 1960s四重唱表演小组第一次使得利物浦出现在世界地图上．"可知答案选择C．句中"The pop quartet"就是指"The Beatles（甲壳虫乐队）"．
43．A．细节理解题．根据第4 段中"The city has two great cathedrals（教堂）：Anglican-the largest of its kind in Europe； and the more modern-styled Metropolitan．（这座城市有两个了不起的教堂：Anglican--欧洲同类中最大的；Aetropolitan--更具现代风格的）"可知Metropolitan 是更具现代风格的教堂，由此推断Anglican是相对传统一些，故答案选择A．
44．D．主旨大意题．本文第一段告诉我们利物浦是一个多姿多彩具有选择的地方；然后下文分析了文化的多样性；所以判断本文的主题就是介绍利物浦的文化的多样性，自然最后一段得出与主题相一致的结论，故答案选择D．
