Every year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii, 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 ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried under 20 feet of stories 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 Giuseppe began to uncover Pompeii,  Slowly, carefully, Giuseppe 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. 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 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(粉末)tell us that women liked to wear eye-makeup.

Giuseppe 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.

32. Why do large numbers 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.

33. Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in AD-79?

  A. Because Giuseppe 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.

34. What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2000 years ago?

For thousands of years, the most important two buildings in any British village have been the church and the pub. In fact, until a place has a church and a pub，it isn’t really considered a community worthy of a name. Traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, since it is where people gather to give and receive news. In fact, the word ‘ pub' is short for public house.

That's how it used to be, but things are beginning to change. It is said that the credit decline(衰退) is causing 39 British pubs a week to go out of business. People don’t have lots of spare money to spend on beer. Recently, the UK government banned smoking in all pubs, and that may also have affected the number of customers going to pubs.

This decline is happening despite the fact that in recent years the UK government has started to allow pubs to stay open after 11 p. m. Previously, with 11 p. m. as closing time, customers would have to drink quite quickly, meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly. The British habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as “binge drinking “, and it causes some long-term health problems for people and problems with violent crime for communities. The UK government is changing the law to discourage binge drinking, and regularly spends money on television advertisements to warn people of the problems of drinking too much.

In order to save their businesses, pubs are trying to change with the market. Now, there are a number of different types of pubs.

As you can see, British pubs now offer something for everyone. A lot of pubs used to be
working men' s clubs, meaning that women could not usually enter. Today, however, women can freely enter 99% of pubs without experiencing any problems. Perhaps things are changing for the better after all.

Dear Ms Brown,

 I’m writing this letter to express my thanks to you for help me with my English study during the past three years. I can still remember how poor my English was when I come to senior middle school. I even felt frightening each time I attended an English class. Know this, you communicated with me patient and let me know the important of learning English well. Then you taught me many useful ways to learn English and even spent many of your free time helping me, for which I have always been grateful. With your help, I finally made a great progress. I could hardly believe my ears when the news came I was admitted into a key university.

Ms Brown, it’s you that has changed my life and made my dream come true. Thank you.

                                                             Yours sincerely,

Li Hua

Forgiving(原谅) someone who has hurt you or let you down is never an easy thing. Several new studies, however, say that it could have a lot of health benefits. When you think of forgiveness, you probably don’t think of it as being a health or medical problem. Studies from Stanford University, on the other hand, show that something like anger(愤怒) can change your well-being.

When cartoon book characters like the Incredible Hulk get angry, they change colors and often gain special power. In the real world, anger is less obvious and may be more dangerous. That’s why Professor Fred Luskin, founder of the Stanford Forgiveness Project and author of Forgive for Good, say holding on to anger and hatred(仇恨) can harm your physical and mental health. Two new studies seem to show the same idea. The studies find that people who are able to forgive feel less stress, less back pain, and less unhappiness. They also have fewer headaches, lower blood pressure and fewer problems on sleeping.

So it doesn’t matter if your anger is caused by the traffic or other things. Learning to let it go is important. Skills such as deep breath or thought can help. Or just ask yourself if it’s worth hurting yourself by staying angry with someone else.

Forgiveness doesn’t mean that you simply accept what happened and say it’s OK. Instead, it’s a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past.

4. The author of the passage tries to make his opinion clear ___________.

A. by showing his own examples    B. based on his own experience.

C. by using some studies.    D. by introducing some patients.

A. taking away    B. keeping up

C. getting rid of    D. learning about

Those who have ______ floods and sandstorms know the importance of environmental protection．（　　）

A．gone through      B．gone over    C．gone across       D．gone down
