生的影响。

21.ThepurposeoftheSATistoteststudents'.

答案：B本题考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“...whichisusedtodetermine

答案：A本题考查词义猜测。联系语境可知，没有一个名牌大学的学位，

本文主要讲述了每年成千上万的游客参观Pompeii的目的。

25.WhydolargenumbersofpeoplecometoPompeiieachyear?

A.Tovisitthevolcano.

B.Toshopandeatthere.

C.Towatchsportsandplays.

D.ToseehowPompeiianslived.

答案：D推理判断题。原文没有直接说出参观者到Pompeii的目的。通读

全文可知，Pompeii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，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Pompeiians

当时是如何生活的。但如果只注意到短文第一段最后一句话Noonehaslivedin

Pompeiiforalmost2,000years.和后面提到的volcano一词，容易错误地选择A

项。

26.WhyhadsomanyPompeiiansremainedbyvolcanicMountVesuvius?

A.Thecitynearbyofferedallkindsoffun.

B.TheareaproducedthefinestwineinItaly.

C.Fewpeopleexpectedthevolcanotoeruptagain.

D.Themountainwasbeautifulandcoveredwithgrass.

答案：C推理判断题。从第二段后两句话MountVesuviushadnoterupted

forcenturies,sothepeopleofPompeiifeltsafe.Buttheywerenot.可以得出结

论，几乎没有人想到火山会重新喷发。

27.WhydidthecityuncoveredlookalmostthesameasithadlookedinAD

79?

A.BecauseGinseppeandhismendugitslowlyandcarefully.

B.Becausethecitywasburiedaliveandremaineduntouched.

C.Becausescientistssuccessfullyrebuiltthecitywitheverydayobjects.

D.Becausenobodyhadlivedinthecityeversincethevolcanoerupted.

答案：B细节理解题。从第二、三段可知，Pompeii位于MountVesuvius

山脚下，MountVesuvius是一座火山，但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。
