Long ago, the ancient Greek philosopher（哲学家） Plato wrote about Atlantis. He said that long before his time it was a beautiful land near Europe. Historians believed that it was a very rich place with palaces and traditional culture. All of a sudden it disappeared. Ancient people thought it went down into the sea. Over time, a number of scientists have tried to look for it.Now, some scientists believe that the Greek island of Santorini may be the lost Atlantis. Today, Santorini is an island in the Aegean Sea with a huge hole in the center filled with sea water. However, 3, 500 years ago it looked very different. Then it was a round island with a tall volcano（火山） in the middle. Today, Santorini has 13 villages and about 6, 000 people, but in the past it had cities and perhaps even more people. Starting in 1967, researchers started to carry out a big dig on Santorini. They wanted to know about what was underground. They found part of a city with apartment buildings full of furniture as well as streets and water systems. They also found quite a few colored paintings and pictures on the walls of houses. In 1999, the diggers discovered some valuable gold art showing a female calf.Researchers thought about the strange city for some time until they understood what had happened to it this city beside the sea was buried by a terrible explosion（爆炸） of the volcano. Hot lava and ash（岩浆和灰） suddenly came out of the volcano and buried the roofs of the city.To this date, scientist have not found the bodies of any people stuck there. They think that in the final days before the volcano blew the island apart, the people were successfully able to get out. Although Santorini is said to be the lost Atlantis, no one has proved it yet. Today tourists from around the world come to see the museum and wonder if Santorini is actually the lost Atlantis. Without question, it is a very beautiful place.（1）What happened because of the volcanic event according to the passage? A . Visitors were hurt.B . The ancient city was buried.C .
