D.David Stevenson’s Proposal 答案:B
解析:主旨大意题。全文主要讲的是怎样深入地球内部进行探索。A项太过模糊;C、D两项文中都提到了,但不足以概括全文。
C
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 stone and ash.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 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 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 a dark,shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eye-makeup.
Ginseppe has died,but his work continues.One-fourth has not been uncovered yet.Scientists are still digging,still making discoveries that draw tourists to

Pompeii.
9Why do lots 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. 答案:D
解析:推理判断题。原文没有直接说出参观者到庞贝古城的目的。通读全文可知,庞贝古城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。所以参观者来的目的是看一看庞贝人当时是如何生活的。
10Why 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. 答案:C 解

“MountVesuviushadnoteruptedforcenturies,sothepeopleofPompeiifeltsafe.Buttheywerenot.”可以得出结论,几乎没有人想到火山会再次喷发。
11Why 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. 答案:B
解析:推理判断题。从第二、三两段可知,庞贝古城位于维苏威火山山脚下,但维苏威火山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,人们在毫无准备的情况下被埋葬了,所以保留了当时全部的情景。

12What 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 makeup. C.They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating. D.They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in AD 79. 答案:A
解析:推理判断题。从倒数第二段所述参观者看到的2000年前庞贝人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同。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

(导学号55580025) (2017·全国Ⅰ高考)
If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping.I would have laughed heartily.Campers,in my eyes,were people who enjoyed insect bites,ill-cooked meals,and uncomfortable sleeping bags.They had nothing in common with me. 13
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. 14 We slept in a tent,cooked over an open fire,and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom.This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work,recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.
I was,nevertheless,talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. 15 Instead,we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner.My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.
16 We have done a lot of it since.Recently,we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set.There is a separate bedroom,a modern kitchen with a refrigerator.The trailer even has matching carpet

and curtains.
17 It must be true that sooner or later,everyone finds his or her way back to nature.I recommend that you find your way in style. A.This time there was no tent. B.Things are going to be improved.
C.The trip they took me on was a rough one.
D.I was to learn a lot about camping since then,however. E.I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping. F.After the trip,my family became quite interested in camping. G.There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall. 答案:13~17 DCAFE
