But finding the city wasnt that easy. During the summer of 1991, he and his 40 helpers dug at 35 different spots. The only things they found were ground spiders, giant ticks, and deadly snakes.Just before Thanksgiving said Clapp,“We were within a whisker of total failure.”Then Clapps team looked at the high-tech maps again and saw something surprising. Many of the caravan routes（沙漠商队路线）on the high-tech maps came together on the same spot marked “Omani Marketplace” on Ptolomys map. Two maps, made almost 2,000 years apart, pointed the team toward the same area!In December 1991, Clapp arrived at the spot where, according to the maps, the caravans met. Clapp had a handheld instrument that could detect objects below the ground. It showed ruins under the sand! He and his team started digging, trying not to get their hopes up. And then they found it! A tower buried in the sand. They slowly unearthed a giant, eight-sided fortress（堡垒）. It had nine towers and many rooms. People had lived in this fortress 2,000 years ago. Outside its walls, the crew had found buried remains of nearly 40 campsites. They seemed to be camping areas for traders.More digging found shards, or pieces of pottery from the ancient empires of Rome, Greece, China, Egypt, and Syria. Diggers and scientists agreed that people were on the site for about 5,000 years. Clapp and his team were excited as they continued to uncover more pieces of the past that seemed to prove that it was the lost city of Ubar.“We started with this hopeless myth and then found seeds of truth,” said Clapp, “then finally found the reality behind the myth.” But is this unearthed site really the once-great Ubar? Experts arent totally persuaded.Donald Whitcomb is an archeologist（考古学家）at the University of Chicago. He doubts that Clapp really discovered Ubar. “Theres probably a grain of truth to this myth,” he says. “But Ubar is described as a place with walls all made of gold, and the rubies and emeralds.” No gold or precious stones have been found by Clapp.“Im not sure whether they discovered Ubar because Im not sure if Ubar really existed,” Whitcomb says.1.

A. a person of courage B. a person of determination（决心） C. a very young person D. a person who is good for nothing（B）Every year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii, Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for like its stadium 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, Pompeii was a busy city of 22,000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, a grass-covered volcano（火山）. Mount Vesuvius had not erupted（喷发）for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But 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 stones 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 Ginseppe began to uncover Pompeii. Slowly and carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79. There were streets and fountains, 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 bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves of breada type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell 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 making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.5. A number of people come to Pompeii each year for the following reasons except _. A. to visit the volcanoB. to shop and eat there C. to watch sports and playsD. to see how Pompeiians lived6. Why had so many people remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius? A. The city nearly 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.7. Why did the city uncovered look 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 volcano erupted.8. What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2,000 years ago? A. They lived more or less the same as Italians now do. B. They liked women wearing all kinds of makeup. C. They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating. D. They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in AD 79.一 单选CADDBAC下列每个句子都有一处错误，请找出来并改正1. areis 解析：先行词one前有the only修饰，定语从句中的谓语动词应用单数形式。2. 在help前加to 解析：句中(that) you can (do) 是定语从句，修饰先行词everything，其中do承前被省略， help others是do everything的目的，应用不定式作目的状语，故在help前加to。3. agreeallow 解析：agree后面不能接不定式作宾补，即不能说agree sb to do sth，而allow则可以。4. fromof 解析：be made of意为“由制成（能看出原材料）”，而be made from看不出原材料。5. 本题可在关系代词which后加were，使定语从句完整。也可以去掉which，这样bought 作为过去分词同样起了定语的作用。阅读理解，根据短文内容选择最佳答案1. B 解析：文章第一段第一句只是提到了some of Ubar ruins sticking out of the sand，并没有 提到是全部埋在沙子下方，故A不正确；文章第三段第二句讲到标有“Omani Marketplace” 地点的地图是Ptolomys map，故C错误；由文章第一段最后一句和第五段第一句可知 选项D把两处挖掘出的东西放在一个地方了，故错误。文章第四段讲到了他们从沙子里 挖到了一座塔，所以B正确。2. C 解析：由文章第三段可知A和B是正确的，由文章第七段第二句可知D正确；由文章第 五段最后一句可知Clapp认为他们所挖到的就是遗失的城市Ubar，所以C错误，故选C。3. B 解析：根据上文我们知道他们挖了35个地方，但是都没有什么收获，所以应该是要绝望 了，故选B。4. B 解析：通过全文我们可以知道Clapp在找寻Ubar过程中并不是一帆风顺的，但还是坚持 下来，终于挖出了有价值的东西，所以说他是个有决心的人。5. D 解析：根据文章第一段第三句和第四句可知庞培没有人居住，所以游客无法看到庞培人是 如何生活的，故选D。6. C 解析：由第一段最后2句话可知，虽然是在火山脚下，但是这座火山已经好几个世纪没有 喷发过了，所以庞培人认为住在这里是安全的，故选C。7. B 解析：因为火山突然喷发，整个城市被埋在了石头和灰烬下，所以庞培保持了它原有的面 貌，故选B，而非A，C和D所说的原因。8. A 解析：根据倒数第二段倒数第二句可知，选项A是正确的；由该段最后一句话可知选项B 是错误的，应该是eye-makeup，而不是all kinds of makeup；选项C不正确，文章并未提 及庞培人过着一种慵懒的生活；选项D是错误的。111
