回答 68 ~ 71 题： D 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 to 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 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 nouse with plenty of secrets for the world to explore.
第13题：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

第5题：
“I think it’ s huge day for loggerhead sea turtles, ”said Beth Riff, a marine wildlife scientist at Oceana.“it really draws attention to the fact these turtles are not doing well and more needs to be done to protect them.”With all that attention to paid to them, you’d think these creatures would at least have the gratitude not to go extinct, but Nature is indifferent to human notions of fairness.No one really knows how many loggerhead there are, or how many are being killed by fishing gear or other activities. Riff cites a 40 percent drop in the number of nesting females in Florida over the last decade as evidence of trouble.
Loggerheads are named for their large heads, which contain potent jaws that can crush the hard shells of prey such as conch. The turtles are about the size of a fist when they hatch and make a frenzied dash to the surf. But they typically grow to more than three feet in length and 250 pounds. The animal can log thousands of miles as it travels across oceans.
Barbara Schoder，national sea turtle coordinator for NOAA’s fisheries division, said the biggest threats to the North Pacific loggerhead include damage to primary nesting sites, which are mainly in Japan，as well as accidental snaring of the turtles in fishing gear. Andrea Tee of San Francisco-based Center for Biological Diversity said the turtles get hooked by Hawaiian longline fishermen targeting swordfish and tuna and can be injured or drowned. On the East Coast, the main threat to turtles is gear from the region’s various fishenes Schoder said.
A primary benefit of the endangered status would be increased public pressure on protecting the species, Riff said. But the government would also have to determine“critical habitats，”such as where the turtles reproduce or forage. Such places could be subject to additional protections for the turtles, including restrictions on maritime development or fishing.
Like every other environmental issue today, this is playing out against the background of global warming and human interference with natural ecosystems, The narrow strips of beach on which the turtles lay their eggs are being squeezed on one side by development and on the other by threat of rising sea levels as the oceans warm. Ultimately we must get a handle on those issues as well, or a creature that outlived the dinosaurs will meet its end at the hands of humans, leaving our descendants to wonder how creature so ugly could have won so much affection.
What does the author mean by “nature is indifferent to human notions of fairness”（ ）.
B.Turtles are by nature indifferent to human activities
C.Course of nature will not be changed by human interference
D.The turtle population has decreased in spite of human protection
【关键词】mean;nature is indifferent to human notions of fairness
【主题句】第2自然段With all that attention to paid to them,you’d think these creatures would at least have the gratitude not to go extinct,but Nature is indifferent to human notions of fairness.No one really knows how many loggerhead there are, or how many are being killed by fishing gear or other activities.Riff cites a 40 percent drop in the number of nesting females in Florida over the last decade as evidence of trouble.在如此多的关注之下，你会认为这些蠵龟至少会感激不至灭绝，但大自然对人类的公平观念漠不关心。没有人真正知道那里有多少蠵龟，或者有多少被渔具或其他人类活动杀死。Riff引用过去的十年，在佛罗里达州筑巢的雌性蠵龟数量下降了40％作为面临困境的证据。
【解析】本题的问题是“作者提出nature is indifferent to human notions of fairness（大自然对人类的公平观念漠不关心）的意思是_______”。选项A意为“自然对于龟的生存是相当公平的”；选项B意为“乌龟本质上对人类活动漠不关心”；选项C意为“自然的过程不会因人为干扰而改变”；选项D意为“尽管受到人类保护，但龟的数量减少”。
根据主题句可知，人类认为开展了保护措施，蠵龟就不会灭绝了，但事实上蠵龟数量还在下降，所以D选项“尽管有人类的保护，蠵龟数量还在下降”正确。
