10、 each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1A group of Labour MPs, among them Yvette Cooper, are bringing in the new year with a call to institute a UK “town of culture” award. The proposal is that it should sit alongside the existing city of culture
11、title, which was held by Hull in 2017, and has been awarded to Coventry for 2021.

The really successful holders of such titles are those that do a great deal more than fill hotel bedrooms and bring in high-prof
