Every year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii,Italy.They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for,its stadium 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，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.
On August 24th,79 AD，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 79 AD.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 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 a 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 79 AD?
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.2
B．They liked women wearing all kinds of make.up.
C．They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating.
D．They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in 79 AD。

请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项.
Guinness World Records，known until 2000 as The Guinness Book of Records（and in previous U。

S。

editions as The Guinness Book of World Records），is a reference book published annually，and contains an internationally recognized collection of world records —both human achievements and the extremes of the natural world。

The book itself holds a world record, as the best-selling copyrighted series of all time.
However, several world records that were once included in the book have been removed for ethical (伦理的）reasons. By publishing world records in categories(种类），the book encourages people to try to beat that record, and pays no attention to health and safety. For example，following the publication of a ”heaviest cat” record, many cat owners fed their pets beyond the bounds of what was healthy；this is an example of the entries that have been removed. In 1991, the book also dropped records within the "eating and drinking records” category of its Human Achievements section, over concerns that potential competitors would harm themselves, and expose the publisher to litigation(起诉)。

These changes included the removal of all liquor，wine and beer-drinking records，along with records for eating such unlikely things as bicycles and
trees。

Other records，such as sword swallowing and rally driving （on public roads)，were closed to further entries because the current record holders had performed beyond what were considered acceptable levels of human tolerance。

There have been examples of closed records being reopened, however。

For example，the sword-swallowing record was listed as closed in the 1990 Guinness Book of World Records，but the Guinness World Records Primetime TV show，which started in 1998, accepted three sword swallowing challenges (as did the 2007 edition of the Guinness World Records)。

Chain letters are also forbidden。

According to the book’s publisher: "Guinness World Records does not accept any records relating to chain letters，sent by post or e-mail. If you receive a letter or an e—mail, which may promise to publish the names of all those who send it，please destroy or delete it；it is a trick。

”
