Ⅴ.阅读理解
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 grass-covered volcano.Mount Vesuvius had not erupted 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 ashes 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 stones and ashes.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 told us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii.Many glasses and jars had some dark blue color 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 dark,shiny powder told us that women liked to wear eye make-up.
Ginseppe has died,but his work continues.One-fourth has not been uncovered yet.Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.
1.Why do large number 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.
2.Why had so many Pompeiians remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius?
A.The city nearby 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.
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.
D.Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.
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 make-ups.
C.They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating.
D.They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in AD 79.

Ⅲ.1.looking forward to 2.Studying abroad 3.is known as 4.carry out 5.(should) learn about 6.To my surprise 7.consists of/is made up of 8.searched for
Ⅳ.1.A [句意为:英国由英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰和北爱尔兰组成。consist of (=be made up of)由……组成;consist of不能用于被动语态;consist in在于。故选A项。]
2.D [本题考查交际用语。with pleasure很乐意,故选D项。]
3.B [cut off隔离,符合语境,常与from连用。]
4.D [考查交际用语中的省略。完整回答应为“Yes,I follow you perfectly.”,故选D项。]
5.C [从上句可以看出是电话用语,所以要用This is...来回答。]
6.B [句意为:2008年9月27日,宇航员翟志刚成为第一个在太空行走的中国人。Chinese man前有the first对其进行修饰,故用不定式作后置定语。]
7.B [leave...doing表示“让某人(物)处于某种状态或某动作持续发生”。]
8.C [as if引导的方式状语从句,当其可能性很小或不可能时用虚拟语气。表示过去的情况,用过去完成时。]
9.A [上句表示邀请对方来吃晚饭,选项A表示委婉谢绝。意思为“我很想去,但恐怕不能。”]
10.B [根据语境,后半句说的是对将来的预测。will可表示对将来的预测,符合题意。]
Ⅴ.1.D [推理判断题。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,从而保留了当时人们生活的遗迹。参观者的目的是看一看Pompeiians
当时是如何生活的。如果只注意到短文第一段最后一句话“No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2,000 years.”和后面提到的volcano一词,会错误地选择选项A。]
2.C [细节理解题。从第二段的“Mount Vesuvius had not erupted for centuries,so the people of Pompeii felt safe.But they were not.”可以看出“几乎没有人想到火山会重新喷发”。]
3.B [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.A [推理判断题。从倒数第二段所述参观者所看到2 000年前Pompeiians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似。]
