Liverpool, my hometown, is a special 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 to stress its cultural role, Liverpool has more museums and galleries 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.

1.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

2.Liverpool has important cultural role because __________.

A. it has the best collections of Victorian paintings

B. it has museums, galleries, music festival and sports events

C. the Mersey River Festival attracts thousands of visitors

D. the best palaces of Europe are in Liverpool

3.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

It’s easy to observe an athlete like Tiger Woods and feel like he’s from another planet. He has won 14 major tournament(锦标赛) titles and about $122 million in prize money and ads. He also has a happy family. It seems that he is too perfect to be one of us. But Woods has more in common with you than you might think.

Woods’ parents — particularly his father — set high expectations for him when he was a child. Before Earl Woods’ death in 2006, he told Golf magazine, “My purpose in raising Tiger was not to raise a golfer. I wanted to raise a good person.”

By age two, Woods was already swinging(挥舞) a golf club. But once he entered school, Woods’ father was careful to send the message that school work came first. Woods wasn’t allowed to practice until his homework was done.

When Woods finally reached the professional tour, his father continued to expect a lot of him. “Tiger will do more than any other man in history to change the course of human. The world is just getting a taste of his power,” he said in 1996. Clearly, Earl Woods had great expectations of his son.

In this way, Tiger Woods is actually like a lot of us. Many of us feel a similar pressure to make our parents proud. When this happens, it’s easy to let that pressure overwhelm(压倒) us.

In a perfect world, we would all grow up to be Tiger Woods-like successes in our own fields. But that isn’t possible. There are many things that we can’t control in this life, despite our best efforts.

There is, however, one thing that we can do: we can try to be a “good person”, as Earl Woods asked his son to do.

1.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the first paragraph?

A. The number of tournament titles Tiger Woods has won.

B. The family members of Tiger Woods.

C. The money Tiger Woods has made in prize money and ads.

D. The impression that Tiger Woods leaves on us.

2.According to the passage, which of the following statements about Tiger Woods is TRUE?

A. Tiger Woods is too perfect to be one of us.

B. Tiger Woods wasn’t allowed to play golf after class.

C. Tiger Woods did very well in golf as a child.

D. Tiger Woods didn’t like playing golf when he was a child.

3.We can learn from the passage that Tiger Woods is under pressure to ____ just like many of us.

A. get high marks in the exam B. make his parents proud

C. change the course of human D. try to be a good person

4.We can infer from the passage that ______.

A. Tiger Woods has a happy family

B. Tiger Woods’ mother didn’t set high expectations for him

C. Tiger Woods has changed the course of human

D. Tiger Woods’ father plays an important role on his road to success

“Regardless of social class, race and age, men say they hate to shop,” says Zukin, City University of New York sociology professor. “Yet when you ask them deeper questions, it turns out that they like to shop. Men generally like to shop for books, music and hardware. But if you ask them about the shopping they do for books or music, they'll say, ‘Well, that's not shopping. That's research.’”

In other words, what men and women call “buying things” and how they approach that task are different.

Women will wander through several 1,000?square?metre stores in search of the perfect party dress. Men will wander through 100 Internet sites in search of the perfect digital camcorder. Women see shopping as a social event. Men see it as a special task or a game to be won.

“Men are frequently shopping to win,” says Ann, a marketing professor at Loyola University of Chicago. “They want to get the best deal. They want to get the best and latest one and if they do that, it makes them happy. When women shop, they're doing it in a way that they want everybody to be very happy,” says Ann. “They're kind of shopping for love.”

“Teenage girls learn to shop from their mums and elder sisters, and they also learn to shop by examining articles in magazines like Seventeen,” Zukin says. “And although men's magazines such as GQ and Esquire have long had shopping articles, it's TV that has the eye of young male shoppers,” say Ann and Zukin.

“Television shows are used by young men in the same way Seventeen or Lucky is used by girls,” says Zukin, “to help make clothing and toiletry choices.”

“Of course, there are men who love to shop and are proud of it,” Ann says. And that is important no matter whether you buy a car or a frying pan. All men love to buy but don't want to get cheated. Ann adds, “There actually are men who are interested, for example, in cooking or shopping or chinaware or things around the home—they become kind of girl magnets. Women like it.”

1.From the first paragraph we can find that .

A. men are all dishonest B. men like to shop in fact

C. men hate to shop actually D. men are all book?lovers

2.Compared to women, men usually treat shopping .

A. honestly B. frequently

C. seriously D. foolishly

3.As is shown in this passage, teenage girls go shopping .

A. only with their sisters B. often following magazines

THIS is an adapted excerpt(摘录)from Eman Mohammed’s speech at TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design), a non-profit conference, in 2014. She is one of the few female photo journalists in the Gaza Strip(加沙地带).

When I was 19, I started my career as the first female photojournalist in the Gaza Strip, Palestine. My work as a woman photographer was considered a serious insult(侮辱)to local traditions. The male-dominated profession made me feel unwelcome by all possible means. They made it clear that a woman must not do a man’s job. Photo agencies in Gaza refused to train me.

Three of my colleagues went as far as to drive me to an open air strike area where explosions were the only thing I could hear. Dust was flying in the air, and the ground was shaking beneath me. I only realized we weren’t there to document the event when the three of them got back into the armored(装甲的)Jeep and drove away, waving and laughing. Leaving me behind in the open air strike zone.

For a moment, I felt terrified, humiliated, and sorry for myself.

I started paying closer attention to women’s lives in Gaza. Because I am a woman, I could go where my colleagues were forbidden to go. Beyond the obvious pain and struggle, there were healthy amounts of laughter and accomplishments.

In front of a police compound in Gaza City during the first war in Gaza, an Israeli air raid(袭击)destroyed the compound and broke my nose. For a moment, all I saw was bright white. I thought I had either gone blind or I was in heaven. By the time I managed to open my eyes, I had documented this moment.

Mohammed Khader is a Palestinian worker who spent two decades in Israel. As his retirement plan, he decided to build a four-floor house. By just the first field operation(军事行动)in his neighborhood, the house had been flattened. Nothing was left but the pigeons he raised and a bathtub. Mohammed put the bathtub on the top of the rubble(瓦砾)and started giving his kids a bobble bath every morning.

My work is not meant to hide the scars of war, but to show the full unseen stories of Gazans. As a Palestinian female photographer, the journey of struggle, survival and everyday life has inspired me to overcome the community taboo(禁忌)and see a different side of war and its aftermath(灾祸). I became a witness with a choice: to run away or stand still.

1.The author couldn’t work with her colleagues in the Gaza Strip because _______.

A. she hadn’t received the training offered by the photo agency there

B. the local traditions didn’t allow a woman to do a man’s job

C. her colleagues were going to take part in the battle

D. she was terrified of explosions in the air strike area

A. prove there was pain as well as laughter during the war

B. show how dangerous the surroundings were in Gaza

C. show that she could document common people’s lives at the war

D. let the reader know how the war influenced her life

3.From the story, it can be inferred that ________.

A. the author wouldn’t like to reveal the cruel side of war

B. the author eventually had to leave Gaza because of the community taboo

C. the author decided to document more unseen scenes from the war

D. the author was determined to run away from the explosions in the end

4.The best title of the passage is _____.

A. An Insult To Local Traditions B. Run away or Stand Still

We met a little girl seven years ago during one of my daughter’s occasional hospital stays. Her name was Beth and she was my daughter’s roommate for a week. My Daughter had an incurable kidney(肾) disease. Beth was a very happy girl, despite the fact that she had cancer. I was amazed at her will and determination to never give up, however sick her treatment made her. She was always concerned about my daughter and the other children with cancer.

My daughter’s hospital treatment was completed in a week and we were waiting for her final discharge orders when Beth appeared. She said “I want you to have this. I know you need a new kidney, so keep this angel pin with you till you get better. She will watch over you and make you smile. My friend, John, gave it to me to watch over me. When you get your new kidney and smile, you can give this angel to someone that needs her, too”. My daughter thanked her and the girls exchanged hugs and big smiles. Later that year, Beth passed away.

We kept that angel for six more years. Finally, a kidney became available and she received a transplant.

Now she felt it was time to give it to someone who needed to be watched over until he or she could smile again. She gave it to an elderly man trying to recover from a heart problem.

How many families and hearts this angel has touched, no one knows for sure. But all that it took was a single gift of kindness. So in this Christmas season, create a tradition with your children or maybe someone you love. Give them a gift that keeps on giving. It’s a gift from your heart.

1.For what reason was the author impressed with Beth?(No more than 15 words)

2.Why did Beth give an angel pin to the author’s daughter?(No more than 10 words)

3.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?(No more than 5 words)

4.What tradition should be created as it is suggested in the passage? (No more than 15 words)

5.In your opinion what can be a gift from your heart? And why? (No more than 20 words)
