1. Read the passage and complete the table.
Liverpool, my hometown, is a unique city. It is so unique that in 2004 it became a World Heritage Site.
I recently visited 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 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 (折服) by the beauty of the noble buildings, which are a proud part 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 the Walker Art Gallery, I was told that it has the best collection of Victorian paintings in the world, and is the home of modern art in the north of England. However, Liverpool's culture offers much more than galleries. Liverpool offers many music events. As possibly Britain's No. 1 music city, 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 many restaurants that serve food from around the world. When my recent trip was about to end, I chose to rest my legs in Liverpool's famous Philharmonic pub. It is a monument (纪念性作品) 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.
