Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors
(时间:100分钟;满分:120分)Ⅰ.完形填空(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
When Mt Vesuvius(维苏威火山) erupted in 79 A.D,it __1__ the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
The first __2__ were the people of Pompeii,who,returning to their city when the eruption had eased,dug down through the __3__ of their buried homes.The __4__ they drove through the solidified ash can still be seen in places.But a time came when Pompeii and Herculaneum were forgotten.Throughout the Middle Ages these two buried cities were not disturbed,and it was not until 1709 that an Austrian prince sank a shaft at Herculaneum and then, by __5__ of underground tunnels,robbed the city of its treasures.
In 1729 systematic excavation began on the __6__ site,but King Charles Ⅲ of Naples merely excavated the site to __7__ archaeological specimens(考古标本)for his collection.A few years later,an accidental find at Pompeii led to excavations there;at first by tunneling,but afterwards by the actual uncovering of the city.
From the end of the eighteenth century to the present day,digging has gone on __8__ continuously,though slowly,and often with few resources.Perhaps this slowness has not been entirely a __9__,since it has resulted in large,untouched sections of both cities being left __10__ for modern,scientific excavation.Archaeological techniques have improved so much in the last fifty years that a site can now reveal far more archaeological __11__ than before.
Today most of __12__ and a substantial section of Herculaneum have been cleared.They are the best known archaeological sites in __13__,and the most wonderful.For here,and nowhere else on earth,are ancient cities in which life did not die out but was suddenly __14__.
“Behind these walls,”as one writer has said,“lies an __15__ Italian town,stilled in a moment of time.To enter the gates of this city is to walk 2,000 years into the past.”
1.A.destroyed B.repaired
