Liverpool, my hometown, is a unique city. It is so special that in 2004 it became a World Heritage (遗产) Site.

I recently returned to my hometown city and my first stop was at a museum on the River Mersey, Blanketed in fog, 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 buildings, which are 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 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.

25. Visitors who see the city for the first time would be deeply impressed by ___. A. its wonderful palaces. B. its attractive buildings.

C. its charming banks.

D. its famous museums.

26. The third paragraph is developed mainly by ____. A. making comparisons.

B. following the order of space. C. providing different examples. D. analyzing causes.

27. The author uses the Philharmonic pub to prove that ______. A. Liverpool is an impressive place full of attraction. B. Liverpool is a well-known city for its restaurants.

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. 28. 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 beautiful historic sites of Liverpool.

D. The special cultural atmosphere of Liverpool.

What is eBay? The simple answer is that it is a global trading platform where nearly anyone can trade (贸易，交易) practically anything. People can sell and buy all kinds of products and goods, including cars, movies and DVDs, sporting goods, travel tickets, musical instruments, clothes and shoes--- the list goes on and on.The idea came from Peter Omidyar, who was born in Paris and moved to Washington when he was still a child, he became very interested in computer programming and after graduating from Tuft University in 1988, he worked for the next few years as a computer engineer. In his free time he started eBay as a kind of hobby, at first offering the service free by word of mouth. By 1996 there was so much traffic on the website that he had to upgrade and he began charging a fee（收取费用） to members. Jointed by a friend, Peter Skoll, and in 1998 by his capable CEO, Meg Whitman, he has never looked back. Even in the great.com crashes (崩溃，破产) of the late 1990s, eBay has gone from strength to strength. It is now one of the ten most visited online shopping websites on the Internet.

eBay sells connections, not goods, putting buyer and seller into contact with each other. All you have to do is take an e-photo, write a description, fill out a sales form and you are in business; the world is your market place. Of course for each item (商品) sold eBay gets a percentage and that is a great deal of money. Every day there are more than sixteen million items listed on eBay and eighty percent of the items are sold. 29. We learn from the text that eBay provides people with ____.

A. a place to exhibit their own photos B. a website for them to upgrade C. a way of buying and selling goods D. a chance to buy things at low prices

30. Why did Peter create eBay after graduating from university?

A. To make money

B. To fulfill a task of his company. C. For gathering the engineers. D. For fun

31. From “he has never looked back” in Paragraph 2, we learn that Peter ___.

A. did not feel lonely
