Liverpool, my hometown, is a unique city．It is so unique that in 2004 it became a World Heritage （遺產(chǎn)） Site．
I recently returned to my home city and my first stop was at a museum on the River Mersey．Blanketed in mist （薄霧）, 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 （美術(shù)館） 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 （酒館）．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．a(chǎn)nalyzing 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(chǎn) pub is a wonderful place for visitors to relax themselves
D．a(chǎn) 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．

閱讀表達(dá)（共5小題；每小題3分，滿分15分）閱讀下面短文并回答問題，然后將答案寫到答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上。
“No man is an island”is a well-known line from John Donne’s Devotion, written more than three hundred years ago．Even now people still agree with him．No one can live a completely isolated life．Without other people, life became empty and sad．We all need to have friends.
For some of us, though making friends is not difficult, feeling shy, we may not want to make the first move．It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.
There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People, written in 1936, is the most famous．This “how to” book about getting along with other people became a best seller．It was later put into 28 languages.
Dale Carnegie’s advice seems to be simple, but can his advice help you? Do you need to change the way you act? Here is the list of advice from his book:
（1）Be friendly and polite.
Always greet with a smile．Begin with “excuse me ” or “would you please” when ．Remember to say “thank you” and try to be as helpful as you can.
（2）Go out of your way to be nice.
Find some time to do special things for other people．Making some soup for a sick neighbour may seem like a little thing to you, but it will make your neighbour feel a lot better.
（3）Remember names.
They say that the sweetest music to a person’s ears is the sound of his or her own name.
（4）Be open-minded.
Try to understand other people’s ways and ideas and learn something from them.
（5）Listen patiently． When someone is talking to you, look at him or her, listen carefully and say something when necessary．
What is the best title of this passage？（Please answer within 5 words）

實驗班必做題（61---65每題3分）
I am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language—the way it can evoke(喚起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with.
Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. I’ve heard other terms used, “l(fā)imited English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people’s perceptions(認(rèn)識)of the limited English speaker.
I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s “l(fā)imited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed（難堪） of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is ,because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.
I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won’t get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal(內(nèi)在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure: I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show; her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.
61. By saying “Language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that ______.
A. she uses English in foreign trade B. she is fascinated by languages
C. she works as a translator D. she is a writer by profession
62. The author used to think of her mother’s English as ______.
A. impolite B. amusing C. imperfect D. practical
63. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?
A. Americans do not understand broken English.
B. The author’s mother was not respected sometimes.
C. The author’ mother had positive influence on her.
D. Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.
64. The author gradually realizes her mother’s English is _____.
A. well structured B. in the old style
C. easy to translate D. rich in meaning
65. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The changes of the author’s attitude to her mother’s English.
B. The limitation of the author’s perception of her mother.
C. The author’s misunderstanding of “l(fā)imited” English.
D. The author’s experiences of using broken English.
