Visitors worry that London is an expensive city but there really are so many things to do for

free in London from museums and galleries to free music and walking tours.

Art Galleries

Tate Modern and Tate Britain are exceptional national art galleries housing some of the finest artworks in the world. Tate Modern focuses on contemporary art while Tate Britain displays British Art from the sixteenth century to the present day.

Museums

All of London's major museums are free, but most offer some special exhibitions for a fee. My favorite is the Museum of London where you can learn the history of London from Roman times to today. Other great major museums are the British Museum, the V&A, the Science Museum, and the      Natural History Museum. Oh, and I love the Geffrye Museum. And the. Now I can't decide which is the best!

Many of London's major art galleries and museums are open in the evening and often have special evening events. This can be a great way to relax at the end of a busy day seeing the sights. The main London galleries and museums are air-conditioned so it can be a wonderful way to cool down in the height of summer in the city. Galleries and museums are not open late every night so here is a handy list to help you plan your days and evenings.

Royal Parks

Many people say the Queen Mary's Rose Gardens in Regent's Park is their favorite spot in London, and who am I to argue? I would also recommend St. James's Park as it offers one of the best views of Buckingham Palace. Hyde Park is enormous and includes the ever popular Diana Memorial Fountain and the Peter Pan Statue.

There are often free talks and guided walks in the royal parks so do check the What's On section of the Royal Parks website.

Changing of the Guard

No visit to London is complete without seeing this military tradition. The Queen's Guard in London changes in the Forecourt inside the gates of Buckingham Palace at 11:30am every day in the summer and every other day in the winter. Get there early and view the spectacle from outside the front gates.

53. The passage is intended to _________.

閱讀理解。
     How many historic churches, pubs or buildings are there in your city? Are there worth preserving? Or
are they just a waste of space? There are arguments for and against spending money on historic buildings.
     Dangerous staircases. Uneven floors. A lack of IT infrastructure. The problem with many old buildings
is that they're… old - and extremely expensive to modernize. Take the case of the Combination Room in Cambridge University. It was built in 1347 and was initially used for lectures. Later, it became the
Regent House - the university's parliament. It's of enormous historical value and cultural interest.
However, it doesn't meet accessibility standards for disabled people. As a result, a lift needs to be
installed, but not everyone is happy about this. "Noting will persuade me that this lift would not in its effect, be a substantial alteration to the most precious room in the university. It would destroy the symmetry of
that beautiful room," said one user.
     In general, modern buildings don't have this type of problem. They can be built according to the latest
environment standards, with draught proofing and insulation to help reduce carbon emission and save
energy. They can also be made wheelchair accessible, and they can be designed to ensure maximum
comfort and space. Anyone who's been to a modern cinema, theatre or concert hall recently may
understand the difference between the new buildings and older ones, which tend to have smaller seats, less space and poorer acoustics.
     Very often, there's money to be made by knocking down old building… especially if they're in city
centers. So, the biggest threat to many historic buildings comes from developers. One of Croydon's oldest pubs, The Rose and Crown, is a perfect example of this. A property development company has recently
been granted permission to convert the 18th century building into flats, much to the disappointment of
many local residents. "The bar is full of unique features and perfect examples of a traditional London pub.
It really would be truly tragic for this Grade II listed building to be turned into soulless flats," said a spokesperson for English heritage.
So, are these buildings really worth preserving? "Traditional buildings such as churches, town halls, schools and hospitals give England its character," the spokesman added. "This is about guaranteeing the future of the past. It's about making the past part of our future. This is why we exist."
1. ________ are not accessible to the Combination Room in Cambridge university without a lift.      
A. The old        
B. The disabled      
C. The young      
D. The deaf
2. One of the users is against installing a lift in the Combination Room for all the reasons
     except that ________. 
A. It is extremely expensive to modernize the old building.
B. The lift would do harm to the symmetrical beauty.
C. The lift would not come into use at all.
D. It's rich in historical value and cultural interest.
3. Which of the following advantages of the modern buildings is not mentioned in the passage?    
A. reduction of carbon emission and energy saving
B. installation of IT infrastructure
C. wheelchair accessibility 
D. maximum comfort and space
4. By saying "This is about guaranteeing the future of the past. It's about making the past part of
   our future. This is why we exist." in the last paragraph, the spokesman probably means ______.
A. Traditional buildings represent our culture so that we should protect them and learn from the
      past to enrich the future.
B. Traditional buildings stand for the past of the city so that we should be reminded of the past.
C. Traditional buildings are so precious that we should live in them to memorize the past.
D. Traditional buildings are so rare that we should make full use of them.
5. What would be the best title of the passage? 
A. How to modernize old buildings
B. Combination Room, the treasure of Cambridge University
C. The threat to the old buildings
D. Old buildings, to preserve or not
