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 frst stop was at a museum on the River Mersey. Blanketed in mist (薄雾), Victorian architecture(建筑) rose from the banks of the river, responded to the sounds of sea-birds, and appeared unbelievably attractive. 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 frst seeing the city, most visitors would be overpowered (折服) 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 frst time would be deeply impressed by _________.
A. its beautiful banks
B. its famous museums
C. its wonderful palaces
D. its attractive buildings
2. The third paragraph is developed mainly by _________.
A. providing different examples
B. following the order of space

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
4. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The universal value of the world heritage in Liverpool.
