Every year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii，Italy.They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for its stadium(运动场)and theatres，its shops and restaurants.The tourists do not，however，see Pompeii's people.They do not see them because Pompeii has no people.No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2,000 years.Once，Pompeii was a busy city of 22,000 people.It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius，a grasscovered volcano(火山)．Mount Vesuvius had not erupted(喷发)for centuries，so the people of Pompeii felt safe.But they were not.
In August of AD 79，Mount Vesuvius erupted.The entire top of the mountain exploded，and a huge black cloud rose into the air.Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii.When the eruption ended two days later，Pompeii was buried under 20 feet of stones and ashes.Almost all of its people were dead.
For centuries，Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash.Then ，in the year 1861，an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover Pompeii.Slowly，carefully，Ginseppe and his men dug.The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79.There were streets and fountains，houses and shops.There was a stadium with 20,000 seats.Perhaps the most important of all，there were everyday objects，which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii.Many glasses and jars had some dark blue colour in the bottom，so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine.They liked bread too，metal bread pans were in every bakery.In one bakery there were 81 round，flat loaves of bread－a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today.Tiny boxes filled with a dark，shiny power tell us that women liked to wear eyemakeup.
Ginseppe has died，but his work continues.Onefourth has not been uncovered yet.Scientists are still digging，still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.
【语篇解读】 本文向人们介绍了Pompeii——一座被火山吞没的城市。
1．Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year?
A．To visit the volcano.
B．To shop and eat there.
C．To watch sports and plays.
D．To see how Pompeiians lived.
答案 B [细节理解题。原文没有直接说出参观者到Pompeii的目的。通读全文可知，Pompeii是一座被火山吞没的城市。由于火山突然喷发，人们来不及逃避，而保留了当时人们生活的遗迹。所以参观者来的目的是看一看Pompeiians当时是如何生活的。但由于一些考生只注意到短文第一段第四句话No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2,000 years.和后面提到的volcano一词，错误地选择了选项A项。]
2．Why had so many people remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius?
A．The city nearly offered all kinds of fun.
B．The area produced the finest wine in Italy.
C．Few people expected the volcano to erupt again.
D．The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass.
答案 C [细节理解题。从第二段后两句话Mount Vesuvius had not erupted for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not.可以得出结论，几乎没有人想到火山会重新喷发。]
3．Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in AD 79?
A．Because Ginseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully.
B．Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.
C．Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.
- 6 -
D．Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.
答案 D [细节理解题。从第二、三段可知，Pompeii位于Mount Vesuvius山脚下，Mount Vesuvius是一座火山，但有多个世纪没有喷发了。人们以为它不会再喷发，但是，在公元79年8月，火山突然喷发，整个城市被埋葬在石头和灰尘下。由于火山突然喷发，人们在毫无思想准备的情况下被埋葬了，所以保留了当时全部的情景。]
4．What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2,000 years ago?
A．They lived more or less the same as Italians now do.
B．They liked women wearing all kinds of makeup.
C．They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating.
D．They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in AD 79.
答案 A [推理判断题。从倒数第二段所述参观者所看到2 000多年前Pomeiians生活的情景可以得出结论，他们当时的生活状况或多或少和现在的意大利人生活的状况相同。]

Sydney－A shark savaged a schoolboy's leg while he was surfing with his father at a beach in Sydney on February 23.It was the third shark attack along the coast of Australia's largest city in a month.
The 15yearold boy and his father were in the water off Avalon，on Sydney's northern beaches，around dawn when he was attacked.The city's beaches are packed with locals and tourists during the summer months.
“The father heard a scream and turned to see his son thrashing (激烈扭动)about in the water，”police said.“Fortunately，the shark swam away and the boy was helped to the shore by his father.”
Lifesaving Club spokesman Nick Miller said，“It got him around the top of his left leg and the father came and dragged him out of water.”He said the boy was bleeding heavily when he was brought to the shore.“There was a lot of pain，as you can imagine.”The teenager was airlifted to hospital for treatment for leg injuries.
Police said the bites“cut through to the bone”，but the boy did not appear to have sustained any fractures (骨折)．He was in a stable condition now.
Several beaches were closed after the attack.Water police and lifeguards were searching for the shark，while police hoped to identify its species by the shape of the bite marks.But they said it was too early to say what type of shark attacked the boy.“I don't even know if he saw it，”Miller said.Many shark species live in the waters off Sydney's beaches，but attacks on humans are still relatively rare.However，there were two attacks on successive days earlier this month，one on a navy diver in Sydney harbor，not far from the famous Opera House，and the other on a surfer at the city's worldfamous Bondi beach.
Fishermen say shark numbers are on the rise.There is a ban on commercial fishing in the harbor，which has increased fish stocks.Marine experts also claim environmental protection has created a cleaner environment，attracting sharks closer to the shore as they chase fish.Many shark species，including the Great White－the maneaters made famous in Steven Spielberg's Jaws－are protected in Australian waters.
【语篇解读】 这是一篇新闻报道，主要报道了2月23日发生在悉尼海滨的一次鲨鱼袭人事件。
5．The report mainly tells us________.
A．shark attacks on humans are on the rise
- 6 -
B．sharks attacked humans three times in one month
C．a boy was attacked by a shark at a Sydney beach
D．shark numbers are increasing in the waters off Sydney's beaches
答案 C [主旨大意题。由第一段Sydney－A shark savaged a schoolboy's leg while he was surfing with his father at a beach in Sydney on February 23. It was the third shark attack along the coast of Australia's largest city in a month.可知正确选项是C项。]
6．The underlined word“savaged” in the first paragraph probably means “________”．
A．attracted B．dragged C．bit D．packed
答案 C [由第四段的“He said the boy was bleeding heavily(流血严重))when he was brought to shore.”可以看出，小男孩被鲨鱼咬了，所以要用bit(bite的过去式)。attract吸引；drag拖，拉；pack包装，挤压。]
7．What do we know about the city of Sydney from the passage?
A．It is one of the largest cities in Australia.
B．Sydney harbor is not far from the famous Opera House.
C．There are many locals and tourists on its coast all the year round.
D．There are few shark species in the waters off Sydney's beaches.
答案 B [细节理解题。从第七段中的“in Sydney harbor，not far from the famous Opera House”可知答案。]
8．About the injury of the boy we know that________.
A．he was losing much blood when he was dragged out
B．he was very nervous when he was sent to hospital
C．he may be in danger of losing his leg
D．he was injured in the right leg
答案 A [细节理解题。从第四段第二句可知，男孩被救上岸时正在大量流血。]

Dear friends，
Here is my points.We students of today have to fix our attention on our lessons，and for a result，we know few of society.A holiday is the best time and the best chance to make up for that.Take a parttime job is a good form of social practice.That we have learned in books and in class can't have same important effect on us as what we have learned through personal practice.In social practice，we can surely make a progress in both knowledge and practical ability.Beside，taking a parttime job，we may got paid more or less to help our family.Thus，I will say a senior school student should take a parttime job in holiday，if possible，of course.
