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, Victorian architecture(建筑) rose from the banks of the river, responded to the sounds of sea-birds, 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 overwhelmed 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 alsowell-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. lt is a monument(丰碑) 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.What would visitors who see the city for the first time be deeply impressed by?A.Its charming banks.B.Its famous museums.C.Its wonderful palaces.D.Its attractive buildings.2.The third paragraph is developed mainly by __________.A.providing different examplesB.following the order of spaceC.making comparisonsD.analysing causes3.What does the author use the Philharmonic pub to prove?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 mainly about?A.The universal artistic beauty 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.13、假设你的英语老师在上课时让你们准备介绍中国的某个省份的旅游景点。

The whole narrative story is made up of 22 paragraphs. The first paragraph, which is the introductory part, presents the background knowledge------ the country where the story took place, the time when the story happened and the bad living conditions of the condemned men. Paragraphs 2 -14 constitute the second part or the body of the story, describing how a condemned prisoner was escorted to the gallows, how he behaved and walked. What is significant here is the comments the writer has made concerning the cold-blooded destruction of a healthy, conscious man. Paragraphs 15 -22 form the denouement of the story, where thought-provoking descriptions are provided and some tragic anecdotes inserted. The whole story is full of dynamic, gruesome, and miserable narrative descriptions that are impressive and unforgettable.Analysis Para 1Paragraph 1, the first part of the narrative story, introduces the setting and the characters of the story and briefly describes the bad living conditions of the condemned men, who lived in small cells, each of which measured about ten feet by ten and were quite bare within.The following questions may be asked:(1) Where and when did the story take place?The story took place in Burma on a sodden morning of the rains.(2) Provide a general description of the condemned cells.The condemned cells, a row of sheds fronted with double bars, were like small animal cages. Each cell was about ten feet long and ten feet wide and was quite bare within except for a plank bed and a pot for drinking water. In some of the cells brown silent men were squatting at the inner bars, with their blankets draped round them.Language work1. It was in Burma, on a sodden morning of the rains. ------ The story took place in Burma on a very wet morning during the rainy season.2. the condemned cells: the very small rooms in a prison where prisoners, who had been sentenced to death and who were due to be hanged within a week or two, were being kept3. a row of sheds fronted with double bars: a line of one-story buildings whose front was strengthened with both inner and outer bars4. Each cell measured about ten feet by ten and was quite bare within except for a plank bed anda pot for drinking water. ------- Each condemned cell was about ten feet long and ten feet wide, in each of which there was only a plank bed and a pot for drinking water.5. squat vi. sit on one's heels or on the ground with the knees drawn up under or close to the body; occupy an empty building or settle on unoccupied land, etc. without permission The old man was squatting down by the fire, smoking a tobacco pipe.Some homeless people were squatting in that deserted house.6. drape sth. round/over sth. else: hang (cloth, curtains, a cloak, etc.) loosely on sth. elseA fur coat was draped round her shoulders.Dustsheets were draped over the furniture in the house.Analysis Paras 2-7These paragraphs describe how a condemned prisoner was prepared for the gallows, how he was escorted on his way to the gallows and how he reacted, behaved, and marched. Specifically, Paragraph 2 tells us that the prisoner had been brought out of his cell and that six tall Indian warders were guarding him and getting him ready for the gallows. Paragraph 3 makes it clear why the superintendent of the jail urged the warders to hurry up. Paragraph 4 briefly describes Francis, the head jailer, and presents his response to the question uttered by the superintendent. Paragraph 5 renders it clear why the superintendent ordered the warders to march ahead quickly. Paragraph 6 describes how they set out for the gallows. Paragraph 7 describes how the condemned prisoner walked to the gallows.The following questions are to be considered and answered.(1) How many warders were guarding the convicted man and preparing him for the gallows? How were the warders guarding the man?Six tall Indian warders were guarding him and getting him ready for the gallows. Two of them stood by with rifles and fixed bayonets, while the others handcuffed him, passed a chain through his handcuffs and fixed it to their belts, and bound his arms tightly to his sides. They crowded very close about him, their hands gripping him carefully all the while, as if feeling him to make sure he was there.(2) How did the man react while the warders were getting him ready?The condemned prisoner stood without trying to put up any resistance. He quite willingly let his limp arms be tied up with the ropes, as though he paid no attention to what was happening.(3) According to the superintendent of the jail, by what time should the condemned man have been hanged to death?From Paragraph 3, we know that the condemned man ought to have been hanged to death by eight o'clock on that sodden morning.(4) How was the condemned man escorted to the gallows?Two warders marched on either side of the prisoner, with their rifles at the slope; two others marched close against him, gripping him by arm and shoulder, as though at once pushing and supporting him.(5) How did the prisoner walk?He walked clumsily with his bound arms, but quite steadily. At each step his muscles slid neatly into place, the lock of hair on his scalp moved rhythmically up and down, and his feet left footmarks on the wet gravel which formed the surface of the path. And once, in spite of the men who gripped him by each shoulder, he stepped slightly aside to avoid a puddle on the path.Language work7. warder n. a jailer, a person who works as a guard in a prisonThe POWs (prisoners of war) clubbed their warder to death and escaped from the concentration camp.8. handcuff n. a pair of lockable linked metal rings for securing a prisoner's wristsThe detective took out his handcuffs and put it on the man's wrist.vt. put handcuffs onThe policeman pounced upon the terrorist and had him handcuffed before he couldmake an attempt to resist.9. lash vt. fasten things together securely with ropes, etc.; tie sth. securely in position with ropes, etc.The slave trader lashed the slaves tightly to rings on the board.The captain lashed down the cargo on the deck.10. But he stood quite unresisting, yielding his arms limply to the ropes, as though he hardly noticed what was happening. --- But he stood, without putting up any resistance. He let the warders bind up his limp arms with the ropes, as if he were not aware of what was happening.limply adv. not stiffly or firmly; in a way which lacks strength or energyHe gestured and responded limply, for he had been much weakened physically. 11. Eight o'clock struck and a bugle call floated from the distant barracks. --- The clock struck eight o'clock and a bugle call drifted fromthe distant barracks.float vi. move in air, water or gas; drift slowly"Look! A red and yellow balloon is floating across the blue sky."The aroma of the brewed coffee floated from the kitchen.12. The superintendent of the jail, who was standing apart from the rest ofus, moodily prodding the gravel with his stick--- The head of the jail,who was standing at a distance from the rest of us, feeling so gloomy andsullen that he was poking the gravel with his stick ?prod vi. poke sth. with one's finger or sth. pointedThe boy is prodding the sandy beach with a stick, enjoying it very much.13. "Yes sir, yes sir," he bubbled. --- "Yes sir, yes sir," he uttered, as though making the sound of rising bubbles.14. gripping him by arm and shoulder: holding him firmly by arm and shoulder15. slide v.

He realized what it meant to destroy a healthy, conscious man. He saw the mystery, the unspeakable wrongness, of cutting a life short when it is in full tide.The following are three questions to be answered.(1) What is the main idea of this paragraph?This paragraph conveys the message that the writer saw the unspeakable wrongness of putting a life to an end when it is in full tide. In other words, he realized that it was terribly wrong to hang a healthy, conscious man to death.(2) What was the writer thinking about when he watched the prisoner step aside to avoid a puddle on the path?He thought of the following: This man was not dying, for he was alive just as we are alive. All the organs of his body were working ----bowels digesting food, skin renewing itself, nails growing, tissues forming --- all toiling away in solemn foolery. His nails would still be growing when he stood on the drop, when he was falling through the air with a tenth of a second to live. His eyes saw the yellow gravel and the gray walls, and his brain still remembered, foresaw, reasoned --- reasoned even about puddles. He and we were a party of men walking together, seeing, hearing, feeling, understanding the same world; but in a couple of minutes, with a sudden snap, he would be gone ----one mind less, one world less.(3) What can we infer about the author's attitude toward capital punishment?He was undoubtedly an abolitionist.Language work18. When I saw the prisoner step aside to avoid the puddle I saw the mystery, the unspeakable wrongness, of cutting a life short when it is in full tide.--- When I watched the prisoner walk aside to evade the pool of rain water on the path, I realized how awfully wrong it was to hang an active, healthy and conscious man.unspeakable a. (usu. derogatory) indescribable; that can not be expressed in wordsI was shocked by the unspeakable cruelty of the terrorists who killed so many innocent people.The writer of this narrative piece laid bare the unspeakable corruption of the government.19.All the organs of his body were working----bowels digesting food, skin renewing itself, nailsgrowing, tissues forming ----- all toiling away in solemn foolery.----- All the organs of his body were playing their normal functions ---his bowels were absorbing nutrients from food for his body, his skin was being replenished with new life and vigour, his nails were growing, and his tissues forming --- all were working very hard and solemnly, but they were doing something useless because they would be destroyed in a few minutes.tissue n. mass of cells forming the body of an animal or plantA person's muscular, nervous and connective tissues are vital to his life.The tissues have been destroyed, and a scar has been formed.20. on the drop: on the trapdoor on the gallows21. with a sudden snap: with a sudden sharp noise; with a sudden sharp crackAnalysis 1Paragraphs 9 -14 make up the climax of the narrative story ----the most shocking part of the tragic story. In this part, there is a detailed description of the terrible scene: When the hangman fixed the rope around the prisoner's neck and fastened the noose, the prisoner began crying out to his god. Itwas a steady, rhythmical cry, almost like the tolling of a bell. Minutes seemed to pass. The steady crying from the prisoner continued, "Ram! Ram! Ram!" never faltering for an instant. He kept crying steadily until he was hanged. Everyone had changed color. Also, there is a gruesome account of an inspection of the dead body, which was slowly revolving, as dead as a stone.The following questions are to be considered and answered:(1) What does Paragraph 9 tell us?This paragraph first tells us something about the hangman, then it states the fact that the prisoner was half led and half pushed to the gallows, and finally the hangman fixed the rope around the prisoner's neck.(2) What do Paragraphs 10 ?1 describe?Paragraphs 10 ?1 describe the most shocking scene: When the noose was fixed, the prisoner began crying out to his god. It was a high, reiterated cry of "Ram! Ram! Ram! Ram!" It was a steady, rhythmical cry, almost like the tolling of a bell. Minutes seemed to pass. The steady crying from the prisoner continued, "Ram! Ram! Ram!" never faltering for an instant. The superintendent perhaps was counting the cries. Everyone was feeling sad, frightened and shocked.(3) Who issued the order to hang the prisoner? And how was it given?It was the superintendent who gave the order to execute the prisoner on the gallows. He suddenly made up his mind and issued the order by shouting fiercely.(4) What does Paragraph 13 describe?This paragraph presents a description like this: A clanking noise was followed by dead silence. The prisoner had vanished instantly. An inspection was made of the dead body, which was dangling with his toes pointing straight downward.(5) How did the superintendent make sure that the prisoner was dead?The superintendent reached out with his stick and poked the bare brown body; it oscillated slightly. Thus, he made sure that the prisoner was absolutely dead.(6) What can be inferred from "Eight minutes past eight. Well, that's all for this morning, thank God." uttered by the superintendent?These two sentences uttered by the superintendent imply that the hanging of the condemned man was about eight minutes late, that the prisoner was the only one who was intended to be hanged that morning, that it was a difficult task to have the prisoner killed, and that hanging condemned prisoners was a daily routine for the superintendent, warders, magistrates, etc. Now that the job was done, the superintendent felt relieved.Language work 122. convict n. a person who has been convicted of crime and who is being punished, esp. by imprisonmentAll the convicts in the prison were due to be hanged in a couple of weeks.23. servile a. too ready to obey others; lacking independenceI strongly dislike his servile flattery and his servile manner.24. crouch vi. lower the body by bending the knees, e.g. in fear or to hideThe cat crouched, ready to leap.The little boy crouched behind the sofa.n. in a crouching positionThe children all dropped down into a crouch before the meeting began.25. noose n. a loop with a running knot, tightening as the rope is pulledWhen the noose was fixed, the prisoner was blindfolded.The convicted man is facing the hangman's noose.26. reiterate vt. say or do sth. again or repeatedlyThe professor reiterated his proposal so that everybody might consider it carefully.27. ram v. push or strike sth. with great force; crash against sth.They rammed the door to smash it down.They rammed the rope to kill the man.The car rammed against/into the lorry.28. toll vt. ring a bell with slow, regular strokes, esp. for a death or funeralThe bell is being tolled for the death of terrorism.29. never faltering for an instant: never wavering for a momentfalter vi.

He backed out from under the gallows, and blew out a deep breath.--- The superintendent withdrew from under the gallows and sent out a deep breath from his mouth.Analysis 1Paragraphs 15-22 form the denouement or conclusion of the story, where thought-provoking descriptions are provided and some disagreeable anecdotes inserted. Paragraph 15 provides aglimpse of the hard life of the convicts and an account of how the writer, warders, magistrates, etc. were feeling after the hanging. Paragraph 16 presents an anecdote through the mouth of the Eurasian boy that the dead Hindu had pissed on the floor of his cell from fright when he heard that his appeal had been dismissed. Paragraph 18 records the head jailer's comparison of the hanging of the Hindu with some other unpleasant cases. Paragraph 20 presents another anecdote about a most refractory convict. The last two paragraphs narrate or relate how the writer, the head jailer, the other magistrates, and even the superintendent reacted or responded to the anecdotes, particularly to the "extraordinarily funny" anecdote: They found the anecdotes very funny. They were laughing loudly. They all had a drink together quite amicably, though the dead man was only a hundred yards away.The following questions may be put forward and answered.(1) Describe the scene that the convicts were receiving their breakfast.When the convicts were receiving their breakfast, they squatted in long rows, each man holding a tin pannikin, while two warders with buckets march round ladling out rice; it seemed quite a homely, jolly scene, after the hanging.(2) How did the judicial officers feel after the Hindu was hanged?The judicial officers were feeling enormously relieved now that the job was done. One felt an impulse to sing, to break into a run, to snigger. All at once everyone began chattering gaily. Anecdotes were narrated and enjoyed.(3) What anecdote did the Eurasian boy tell the writer?The boy told the writer that his friend [he meant the dead man] had urinated on the floor of his cell from fright when he heard his appeal had been dismissed.(4) What did Francis think of the hanging of the Hindu?Francis was satisfied that the Hindu had been hanged most effectively and most satisfactorily because shortly afterwards the dead convict was dangling with his toes pointing straight downwards. Francis had known most disagreeable cases where the doctor was obliged to go beneath the gallows and pull the prisoner's legs to ensure death/decease.(5) Why did Francis mention other cases?Because he wanted to make a contrast to emphasize that the hanging of the Hindu was finished most instantly and satisfactorily whereas in other difficult cases the doctor was obliged to go beneath the gallows and pull the prisoner's legs to ensure that the prisoner was dead.(6) Retell the head jailer's anecdote which seemed extraordinarily funny to the writer? Is it really funny to you?It was worse when convicts became difficult to control! One man, Francis recalled, clung to the bars in his cage when he and others went to take him out. It was scarcely believable that it took six warders to dislodge him, three pulling at each leg.I don't think it funny at all. In fact, it was most tragic. The man who was to be hanged was seized with fear. Of course, he did not want to die. That was why he clung to the bars with all his strength. Six warders dislodged him by pulling at his legs. Obviously, the man's death was a most miserable tragedy; it was absolutely not "exceptionally funny."(7) What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?We can infer that in the writer's eyes, the judicial officers, even including the writer, the head jailer, and the superintendent, were all cold-blooded, unfeeling and inhuman. The reasons were quiteclear. When the anecdotes were told, the judicial officers thought of them as extremely funny, and laughed or grinned, or chuckled loudly; they all had a drink together quite amicably, though the dead man was just a hundred yards away.(8) What is the writer's purpose of narrating this story?By reading the narrative story we can infer the writer's purpose. On the one hand, he intended to tell the readers how badly those convicts in Burma were treated and how tragically they were put to death; on the other hand, the narrator wanted to inform the public how cruel, inhuman and unsympathetic those judicial officers in Burma were becoming. More importantly, the writer purported to assert his stand as an abolitionist.Language work 137. ladle vt. serve food with a ladle or in large quantities; distribute sth.
