BEvery year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii, Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous forits stadium and theatres, i
20、ts 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 2000 years.Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, a grass-covered volcano. Mount Vesuv

The entire top of the mountain exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later
22、, Pompeii was buried under 20 feet of 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 AD 79. There were streets and fountains(喷泉), houses and shops
23、. There was a stadium with 2000 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,
24、too; metal bread pans were in every 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 like to wear eye-makeup.Ginseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth has

Few people expected(预料，想到) the volcano to erupt again. D. The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass.42. Why did the uncovered city look
27、 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 volc

30、ut in most parts of the world, thanks to widespread vaccination（种牛痘）.

31、eading and today one seldom hears of it at all.This is mainly because of the great discovery made by a village doctor, Edward Jenner, in about 1798 when he published his report of his new experiment called vaccination (from the word vaccameaning a cow). Jenner discovered that people who worked with
32、cattle often suffered from a harmless disease which they caught from the cattle, but these people never seemed to get smallpox. So he experimented by putting the disease into a small opening on the arms of healthy people, and though their arms became painful for a day or two, they soon recovered and
