But now archeologists are unearthing the mysteries of Heracleion, uncovering amazingly well­preserved artifacts(手工艺品) that tell the story of an ancient port.Known as Heracleion to the ancient Greeks and Thonis to the ancient Egyptians, the city was rediscovered in 2000 by French underwater archaeologist Dr. Franck Goddio and a team from the European Institute for Underwater Acheology (IEASM) after a four­year geophysical survey. The ruins of the lost city were found 30 feet under the surface of the Mediterranean Sea in Aboukir Bay, near Alexandria.Many major dis coveries were made at Thonis­Heracleion during a 13­year excavation(挖掘). Exciting archeological finds help describe an ancient city that was not only an important international trade center but possibly an important religious center.Research now sugges ts that Thonis­Heracleion served as a busy trade port between the Mediterranean and the Nile.So far, 64 ancient shipwrecks(失事船残骸)have been unearthed from the mud of the bay. Other findings include gold coins and weights(秤砣) from Athens (which have never before been found at an Egyptian site). Researchers have also uncovered a variety of religious artifacts in the sunken city, including 16­foot stone sculptures thought to have decorated the city's central temple.Experts have wondered at the variety of artifacts found and have been equally impressed by how well preserved they are. Professor Sir Barry Cunliffe, a University of Oxford archeologist taking part in the excavation, said, “By lying untouched and protected by sand on the sea floor for centuries they are well preserved.”But despite all the excitement over the excavation, one mystery about Thonis­Heracleion remains unsolved: How did it sink? Goddio's team suggests the weight of large buildings may have caused the city to sink in_the_wake_of an earthquake.1. Which of the following is NOT true of Thonis­Heracleion?A. It has a history of about 1,200 years.B. It was buried undersea for over 1,200 years.C. It is located in the Mediterranean Sea.D. It was rediscovered by Franck Goddio.2. The researchers are sure that Thonis­Heracleion used to be an international ______.A. political centerB. trade centerC. cultural centerD. religious center3. We can infer that in ancient times ______.A. many temples were built in HeracleionB. Thonis­Heracleion was a lonely islandC. Thonis­Heracleion was a poor cityD. many ships visited the Heracleion port4. So far, archaeologists haven't found the answer to ______.A. why artifacts are preserved wellB. when Thonis­Heracleion sankC. how Thonis­Heracleion sankD. what the lost city was called5. The underlined phrase “in the wake of” can be replaced by ______.A. coveringB. avoidingC. followingD. wakingⅣ.阅读简答While driving home from work, I always noticed an old man sitting by his front yard. He was usually smoking or drinking and looked rather grumpy.One day, while I was driving past him with my daughter, I decided to wave at him. Initially, when the old man noticed me waving at him, he looked a bit shocked. Then, I saw his hand go up and he waved back.“Why did yo u wave at him？” my daughter asked. I told her that it's just an act of kindness that doesn't cost anything, and it gives both him and me a sense of joy. She responded by saying that she was a bit embarrassed to wave to a stranger, but next time she would try it as well.Lucky for us, we live close to the old man, so we saw him rather often. Whenever we drove by, both of us would start waving at him and, pretty soon, the old man started waving at everyone who passed by his home. The old man, who used to be bad­tempered, now always wears smiles on his face.One day, my daughter's friend came to visit and she told my daughter that she saw this strange old man near our home who waved at her very kindly. She mentioned that she waved back at him, even though she didn't know him, and it felt really good.Upon hearing this, my daughter told her friend the story of how all the waving began.Her friend responded, “Tell your mom that's really cool！”Inspired by all these positive ripples(涟漪), we decided to give our elder waving man a thank­you card, to express our gratitude for the warm feeling that he communicates through his enthusiastic waves. And to thank him for sharing this simple joy with all who pass by his house.This story teaches me just how much an act of kindness can be very natural and effortless, if you really want to do it. It shows us giving happiness benefits both the giver and receiver.Sometimes it is a simple gesture that makes a big difference in someone's day.1. How does the author go home from work?
