　　The first signs of the activity of the volcano appeared in May 1883,when fire and smoke could be seen at the top of the mountain.Great noise could be heard even in Jakarta a hundred miles away.Later the activity grew much greater.The peak(山顶)was covered with smoke and fire;the smoke at one time was seventeen miles high in the air.The lava—soft and hot rock—shot up into the air and roiled down the sides of the mountain.

　　The mouth of the volcano was not at the peak of the mountain but on its side,close to the sea.As it grew bigger and bigger with the eruption,the sea water got into it.When the sea water reached the lava inside the volcano,it made the upper part of the lava colder and harder.And this sealed off(封住)the rest of the lava below.As the inside of the lava could not break through the seal,the pressure(压力)built up until the mountain blew up.

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.

D They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in AD 79.
