Liverpool, my hometown, is a unique city. It is so unique that in 2004 it became a World Heritage （遗产） Site.
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 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 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, madding 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.
Visitors who see the city for the first time would be deeply impressed by __________.
A. its charming banks
B. its famous museums
C. its wonderful palaces
D. its attractive buildings
The third paragraph is developed mainly by __________.
A. providing different examples
B. following the order of space
C. making comparisons
D. analyzing causes
The author uses the Philharmonic pub to prove that _________.
A. Liverpool is a well-known city for its restaurants
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
What is the passage mainly about?
A. The universal value of the world heritage in Liverpool.
B. The exciting experience of the author in Liverpool.
C. The special cultural atmosphere of Liverpool.
D. The beautiful historic sites of Liverpool.

You heard about the sign posted on a farm fence? Inside there was a big and mean (凶的) bull. The sign read, “Don’t attempt to cross this field unless you can do it in 9.9 seconds. The bull can do it in 10!”
Don’t try to cross that field unless you are prepared! And isn’t that the way it is in life? We have to be ready when the opportunity arises or else we will have little chance of success.
Sixth-grade teacher Ms. Shelton believed in readiness. When she walked into the classroom on the first day and began writing words of an eighth-grade level on the blackboard, the students immediately said that the words were not at their level and they couldn’t learn them.
Their teacher insisted that they could and would learn these words. She said that she would never teach down to them. Ms. Shelton ended by saying that one of the students in the classroom could go on to greatness, maybe even be president someday, and she wanted them to prepare for that day.
Ms. Shelton said those words many years ago. Little did she know that someday one of her students—Jesse Jackson—would take them seriously. She believed that if they were well prepared, they could achieve high goals.
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “People only see what they are prepared to see.” If that’s true, then it is also true that they only become what they are prepared to become. And a lot of life is just about getting ready.
Think of today as a chance to prepare yourself for the exciting future you are looking for. Today is not wasted. If you desire more from life, you can use today as training. For you will experience only what you are prepared to experience. Something wonderful can happen. And you can use today to get ready for tomorrow.
68. What is the function of the first paragraph to the whole passage?
A. To explain the high speed is important to our lives.
B. To show we should get ready when the opportunity arises.
C. To introduce how to grasp the best way to cross this field.
D. To prove it’s right for Ms. Shelton to believe in readiness.
69. Why did Ms. Shelton insist students could and would learn the words of an eighth-grade level?
A. Because she believed one of the students in the classroom could go on to greatness.
B. Because the words of an eighth-grade level is just so so to the Sixth-grade students.
C. Because she believed that if they were well prepared, they could achieve high goals.
D. Because it is also true that they only become what they are prepared to become.
70. What can be the best title of the passage?
A. Get Ready for Tomorrow B. Don’t Waste Time
C. Challenge Yourself D. Ms. Shelton, a Famous Teacher

阅读理解: 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Melissa Poe was 9 years old when she began a campaign for a cleaner environment by writing a letter to the then President Bush. Through her own efforts, her letter was reproduced on over 250 donated billboards across the country.
The response to her request for help was so huge that Poe established Kids For A Cleaner Environment (Kids F.A.C.E.) in 1989. There are now 300,000 members of Kids FACE worldwide and is the world's largest youth environmental organization.
Poe has also asked the National Park Service to carry out a "Children's Forest" project in every national park. In 1992, she was invited as one of only six children in the world to speak at the Earth Summit in Brazil as part of the Voices of the Future Program. In 1993, she was given a Caring Award for her efforts by the Caring Institute.
Since the organization started, Kids F.A.C.E. members have distributed and planted over 1 million trees! Ongoing tree-planting projects include Kid's Yards – the creation of backyard wildlife habitats (栖息地) and now Kids F.A.C.E. is involved in the exciting Earth Odyssey, which is a great way to start helping.
"Starting the club turned out to be a way to help people get involved with the environment. Club members started doing things like recycling, picking up litter and planting trees as well as inviting other kids to join their club."
"We try to tell kids that it's not OK to be lazy," she explains. "You need to start being a responsible, environmentally friendly person now, right away, before you become a resource-sucking adult."
