  Visitors worry that London is an expensive city but there really are so many things to do for free in London from museums and galleries to free music and walking tours.

  Art Galleries

  Tate Modern and Tate Britain are exceptional national art galleries housing some of the finest artworks in the world.Tate Modern focuses on contemporary art while Tate Britain displays British Art from the sixteenth century to the present day.

  Museums

  All of London's major museums are free, but most offer some special exhibitions for a fee.My favorite is the Museum of London where you can learn the history of London from Roman times to today.Other great major museums are the British Museum, the V&A, the Science Museum, and the Natural History Museum.Oh, and I love the Geffrye Museum.And the Horniman Museum.Now I can't decide which is the best!

  Many of London's major art galleries and museums are open in the evening and often have special evening events.This can be a great way to relax at the end of a busy day seeing the sights.The main London galleries and museums are air-conditioned so it can be wonderful way to cool down in the height of summer in the city.Galleries and museums are not open late every night so here is a handy list to help you plan your days and evenings.

  Royal Parks

  Many people say the Queen Mary's Rose Gardens in Regent's Park is their favorite spot in London, and who am I to argue? I would also recommend St.James's Park as it offers one of the best views of Buckingham Palace.Hyde Park is enormous and includes the ever popular Diana Memorial Fountain and the Peter Pan Statue.

Liverpool, my hometown, is a unique city. It is so unique that in 2004 it became a World Heritage 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(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.
【小题1】Visitors who see the city for the first time would be deeply impressed by________

A.its charming banksB.its famous museums
C.its wonderful palacesD.its attractive buildings
【小题2】The third paragraph is developed mainly by______
A.providing different examplesB.following the order of space
C.making comparisonsD.analyzing causes
【小题3】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

A.National Museums and Galleries on Merseyside represents the full collection of museums and galleries in the city and offers the Eight Pass for a small fee, this enables the visitor a year's unlimited visits to all eight establishments.

There is also the Picket on Hardman Street, and The Life Cafe on Bold Street also has live music, including the occasional big name wanting to play in a smaller venue.
C.London Theatre may be separated into three parts. One section encompasses the sophisticated end of the theatre spectrum- plenty of Shakespeare and excellent modern plays. There are also the 'West End' shows- this refers to the big productions, not to where they're located. There are many big-production plays and operas that make for a great evening out.
D.Humanities College will set targets in three humanities-based specialist subjects. Applicants must choose a minimum of one key subject from history, geography or English.
