17、s of tourists visit Pompeii, Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for its stadium (運(yùn)動(dòng)場) and theatres, its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however, see Pompeiis people. They do not see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2,000 years.Once

18、, 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 (噴發(fā)) 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 (爆炸)

19、, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash (灰燼) 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

20、 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 (噴泉), houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20,000 seats. Perhaps the most important of a

21、ll, 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 (面包店). In one bakery there

22、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 (粉末) 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 ma

24、earby 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.63Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in AD 79?A. Because Ginseppe and his men dug it slowl

25、y and carefully.B. Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.C. Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.D.

27、 something happened which I have never been able to explain.We were camping in a place above a river. After arriving, we all rushed down to the river and had a swim. Standing by the river, we noticed that it was surrounded by cliffs (懸崖). If someone wanted to reach the river at this point, he had to

28、 walk past our camp.Several days later, the scoutmaster had to be away for a day. That afternoon, we had supper early. We were sitting round the fire, eating and talking, when a man walked past and went down towards the river. We all felt that this man looked very strange, but, because each of us wa

29、s afraid of looking very stupid, no one said anything.We ate rather slowly, taking as long as possible. After finishing, we collected our plates together so that we could take them to the river where we always washed them. But no one moved towards the river we stood looking at each other ashamed (感到

30、不好意思的). Then all shouting at once, we began talking about the man who had walked past us. We agreed how strange he looked and we wondered what he could be doing by the river. We knew that he could only return by passing through our camp.An hour passed. Then one of the boys suggested we should creep

31、(悄悄移動(dòng)) down by the river so that we could see what the man was doing. Moving very slowly and keeping in the shadow (陰暗), we crept down towards the bank. One boy climbed a tree so that he could see everything clearly. He called to us that there was no one there, so we ran down to the bank, looking ev

32、erywhere carefully. We could not understand where the man had gone.When it got dark, we went back to our camp feeling bewildered. We told the scoutmaster what had happened in the evening. Smiling, he doubted that we had seen the man, but finally suggested we go and look again. We did, but there was

33、no one there. Many years have passed, but I still remember it as if it were yesterday. What did we see? I do not know.65The writer in the text mainly tells us _.A. the story of his childhood B. a strange camping experienceC. about a stranger by the river D. about a good place for camping66Why did th

34、e boys eat their supper slowly?A. They wanted to go to the river bank at a later time.B. They were waiting for their scoutmaster.C. They had a supper earlier than usual.D. They were talking while eating.67The word “bewildered” in the text probably means _.A. ashamed B. nervous (緊張的)C. unable to unde

35、rstand D. eager (渴望的) to know something68The writer still remembers the event because _.A. the boys acted foolishlyB. the camping place is beautifulC. there has been no explanation for the eventD. he particularly enjoyed his camping that summer CIm seventeen. I had worked as a box boy at a supermark

36、et in Los Angeles. People came to the counter (柜臺) and you put things in their bags for them. And carried things to their cars. It was hard work.While working, you wear a plate with your name on it. I once met someone I knew years ago. I remembered his name and said, “Mr Castle, how are you?” We tal

37、ked about this and that. As he left, he said, “It was nice talking to you, Brett.” I felt great, he remembered me. Then I looked down at my name plate. Oh, no. He didnt remember me at all, he just read the name plate. I wish I had put “Irving” down on my name plate. If hed have said, “Oh yes, Irving

38、, how could I forget you?” Id have been ready for him. Theres nothing personal here.The manager and everyone else who were a step above the box boys often shouted orders. One of these was: you couldnt accept tips. Okay, Im outside and I put the bags in the car. For a lot of people, the natural react

39、ion (反應(yīng)) is to take a quarter and give it to me. Id say, “Im sorry, I cant.” Theyd get angry. When you give someone a tip, youre sort of being polite. You take a quarter and you put it in their hand and you expect them to say, “Oh, thanks a lot.” When you say, “Im sorry, I cant.” they feel a little

40、put down. They say, “No one will know.” And they put it in your pocket. You say, “I really cant.” It gets to a point where you almost have to hurt a person physically (身體上) to prevent him from tipping you. It was not in agreement with the stores belief in being friendly. Accepting tips was a friendl

41、y thing and made the customer feel good. I just couldnt understand the strangeness of some peoples ideas. One lady actually put it in my pocket, got in the car, and drove away. I would have had to throw the quarter at her or eaten it or something.I had decided that one year was enough. Some people n

42、eeded the job to stay alive and fed. I guess I had the means and could afford to hate it and give it up. 69What can be the best title for this text?A. How Hard Life Is for Box Boys B. Getting along with CustomersC. Why I Gave up My Job D. The Art of Taking Tips70From the second paragraph, we can inf

43、er (推斷) that _.A. the writer didnt like the impersonal part of his jobB. with a name plate, people can easily start talkingC. Mr Castle mistook Irving for BrettD. Irving was the writers real name71The box boy refused to accept tips because _.A. customers only gave small tipsB. some customers had str

44、ange ideas about tippingC. the store didnt allow the box boys to take tipsD. he didnt want to fight with the customers72The underlined phrase “put down” in the third paragraph probably means _.A. misunderstood B. defeated C. hateful D. hurt DJames Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the gran

45、dson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.“J. C.,” he replied.She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part

46、time so as to pay for his education. As a second-year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all

47、week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.The stage was set for Owens victory (勝利) at the Olympic Games in Berlin th

48、e next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic (體育的) but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African-American winners.“It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didnt go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”Having returned from Berlin, h

49、e received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.Owens Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, tr
