[导读] 埃利斯岛是纽约湾中的一个岛,是现代美国人的寻根之地。许多人去岛上了解他们的祖先,了解他们为什么决定来美国。
More than 25 million immigrants entered the United States through Ellis Island, in New York Harbour. Ellis Island was the place where the US government processed their requests to stay in the country. This was their first step towards becoming US citizens.
Ellis Island is the second most popular place to visit in the New York City area. The most popular is the Statue of Liberty. Many people go to the island to learn about their ancestors and to understand why they decided to come to America.
A new museum exhibition on the island tells about these immigrants now. The exhibit costs 20 million dollars to make. It is called “The Peopling of America”.
The exhibit shows the earliest days of European exploration in North America. It also tells about colonization and the conflicts with Native Americans, who are often called Indians. A large part of the exhibit shows what happened in the years after 1954, when the Ellis Island centre closed. At that time, most immigrants came as slaves. Others were indentured (签订契约的) servants, who agreed to move to and work in America in exchange for their freedom. It is a bloody history of immigrants.
Rita McGregor visited the new museum. She is from the western city of Santa Fe, New Mexico, just north of the Mexican border. “I find it very interesting that we were so receptive to immigrants a century ago, and that now we do not treat them the same.”
Mr Schneider says immigration is an important part of the American history. Americans should remember it forever. He says Americans sometimes make it difficult for immigrants to come to the US, but he also says America is a nation of immigrants and that it will continue to be.

A
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, Victorian architecture rose from the banks of the river, responded to the sounds of seabirds, and appeared unbelievably charming. When I headed towards 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. 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.Which part of Liverpool would deeply impress first-time visitors
A.Its charming river banks.
B.Its famous museums.
C.Its attractive buildings.
D.Its wonderful palaces.
( )2.How is the third paragraph developed
A.By providing different examples.
B.By following the order of space.
C.By making comparisons.
D.By stressing the importance.
( )3.What’s the author’s purpose in mentioning the Philharmonic pub
A.To indicate the end of his trip.
B.To expect perfect service.
C.To show another tourist attraction.
D.To recommend a break from the trip.
( )4.What is the passage mainly about
A.The universal value of the world heritage in Liverpool.
B.The special cultural atmosphere of Liverpool.
C.The exciting change of the author’s hometown.
D.The promising tourism in the author’s hometown.

San Francisco’s waterfront (滨水区) is on the National Register of Historic Places for good reason.
Its beautiful old landmarks, like the Ferry Building and the Bay Bridge, have been seen in many books, TV shows and movies—from the stories and novels of Jack London to the 1970s TV series The Streets of San Francisco. The future of San Francisco’s waterfront, however, isn’t safe.
In 2016, the National Trust for Historic Preservation put part of the city’s shoreline on its list of the US’s most endangered historic places, in part because of the threat of sea level rise. The waterfront landmarks of many cities are under increasing threat from floods and the rising sea level brought on by human-driven climate change. St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice, Italy and the Venice Beach boardwalk in Los Angeles face similar challenges as San Francisco.
“The whole issue of climate change and historic preservation intersects (交织) right at the waterfront,” said Elaine Forbes, director of the Port of San Francisco. As she watched the boats come and go on a sunny afternoon, Forbes said, “Sea level rise hasn’t historically been as much of a threat to San Francisco as major earthquakes.” However, that’s changed. Parts of the main road that runs along the waterfront have flooded from heavy rains in recent years. The state estimates (估计) the water could rise up to about two and a half feet above its present level by 2060, and possibly up to seven feet by the turn of the century.
Now, San Francisco is considering measures to save its historic shoreline. But the growing magnitude and frequency of the climate-related threats, the high costs and effort needed in saving heritage sites, and competing ideas about what’s worth saving and what isn’t, can make it hard for cities to know what to do first.
( )5.What is San Francisco’s waterfront famous for
A.Old landmarks.
B.Famous beaches.
C.Beautiful bridges.
D.Comfortable climate.
( )6.What challenge is the waterfront facing
A.The loss of public support.
B.The threat from the rising sea level.
C.The influence of tourist activities.
D.The competition from other cities.
( )7.Why is the earthquake mentioned in Paragraph 4
A.To give an example of existing threats.
B.To stress the seriousness of sea level rise.
C.To compare different types of natural disasters.
D.To show the difficulty in the waterfront protection.
( )8.What can be learned from the text
A.Heritage sites are in ruins.
B.Threats have been removed.
C.The shoreline has been flooded.
D.Solutions are under consideration.

sounds of seabirds, and appeared unbelievably charming.

When I headed towards 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

with plenty of secrets for the world to explore.

B[2024·山西大同一中高一期中]
San Francisco's waterfront (滨水区) is on the National
Register of Historic Places for good reason.
Its beautiful old landmarks, like the Ferry Building and the
Bay Bridge, have been seen in many books, TV shows and
movies—from the stories and novels of Jack London to the
1970s TV series The Streets of San Francisco. The future of San
Francisco's waterfront, however, isn't safe.

In 2016， the National Trust for Historic Preservation put
part of the city's shoreline on its list of the US's most
endangered historic places, in part because of the threat of sea
level rise. The waterfront landmarks of many cities are under
increasing threat from floods and the rising sea level brought
on by human-driven climate change. St. Mark's Basilica in
Venice, Italy and the Venice Beach boardwalk in Los Angeles
face similar challenges as San Francisco.

“The whole issue of climate change and historic
preservation intersects (交织) right at the waterfront,” said Elaine
Forbes, director of the Port of San Francisco. As she watched
the boats come and go on a sunny afternoon, Forbes said,
“Sea level rise hasn't historically been as much of a threat to
San Francisco as major earthquakes.” However, that's changed.
Parts of the main road that runs along the waterfront have
flooded from heavy rains in recent years. The state estimates
(估计) the water could rise up to about two and a half feet

above its present level by 2060, and possibly up to seven feet
by the turn of the century.
Now, San Francisco is considering measures to save its
historic shoreline. But the growing magnitude and frequency of
the climate-related threats, the high costs and effort needed in
saving heritage sites, and competing ideas about what's worth
saving and what isn't, can make it hard for cities to know what
to do first.
