    　　When you hear the word "roses", you would often assume that it is the red rose that is being referred to．Why is this so?Simply because there is no flower that has been respected and celebrated as much as the red rose．

    　　The modern red rose we are now familiar with was introduced to Europe from China in the 1800's．Evidence suggests that the red rose is nearly 35 million years old．The most commonly available roses belong to two broad categories：the Oriental species and their hybrids(杂交品种),and the European species and their hybrids．It is possible to grow a red rose anywhere in the world, if the species which it belongs to is selected according to climatic conditions．

    　　The red rose is a universal symbol of romance, passion and most importantly true love．Red roses are most often used as a strong expression of love, especially on special occasions like Saint Valentine's Day．Back in the 18th century, during a time when speaking aloud about one's heartfelt feelings was not in line with social customs, a special rose language was developed．This secret language acted as a system of communication between lovers who were forced to hide their true emotions by the society．Since then, the red rose has come to symbolize true love that will overcome all difficulties and the test of time．

    　　The red rose is also one of the most universal of all symbols．Apart from being the ultimate(最终的)symbol of love, red roses can also be used to celebrate courage, send out message of congratulations, and symbolize power．Scientific researches show that the red rose cure be used to cure some diseases．

    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 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 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 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.  

    　　68. 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

    　　69. The third paragraph is developed mainly by______

    　　A. providing different examples

    　　B. following the order of space

    　　C. making comparisons

    　　D. analyzing causes

    　　70. 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

    　　71. 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
