A Tour City ------- Pompeii
Every year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii (庞贝,意大利那不勒斯附近一座古城) , Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for ------ its stadium (运动场) and theatre, 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 2000 years.
Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22,000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius (维苏威火山) , a grass-covered volcano (火山). Mount Vesuvius had not erupted (爆发) 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 (埋藏) 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 (发现) 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 even bakery (面包房). 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 powder tell us that women liked to wear eye-makeup (眼部化装品) .
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.
49.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
50. 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.
51. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “ exploded” in the third paragraph?
A. 爆炸 B.震动 C.倒塌 D.开裂
52. What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2000 years ago?
A They lived more or less the same as Italians now do.
B They liked women wearing all kings of makeup.
C They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating.

第二节 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1,满分20分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)出可以填入空白的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
More than I realized, Dad has helped me keep my balance.
When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely disabled and very 31 , and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for 32 , people would stare. I would inwardly feel uncomfortable at the unwanted 33 . If he ever noticed or was 34 , he never showed that he knew.
It was difficult to coordinate our steps — his hesitant, mine 35 - and because of that, we didn’t say much 36 we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to follow you.”
Our 37 walk was to or from the subway, which was 38 he got to work. He went to work despite illness and nasty weather. He almost never missed a day, and would 39 it to the office even if others could not. A matter of 40 .
He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or 41 . What he looked for 42 others was a “good heart,” and if he found one, the 43 was good enough for him.
Now that I am older, I believe that his idea is a proper 44 by which to judge people, even though I 45 don’t know exactly what a “good heart” is. 46 I know the times I don’t have one myself.
He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he 47 I was unwilling to be seen with him during our 48 . Now that I am older, I’m sorry that I never told him how sorry I was for my feeling 49 to be with him in public and how unworthy I felt to be his daughter. I think of him when I complain about trifles (something unimportant), when I am envious of another’s good fortune, and when I don’t possess a “good heart”.
At such times I put my hand on his arm to 50 my balance, and say, “You set the pace. I will try to follow you.”
