Mexico City is truly one of the most amazing cities in the world with a mixture of both the old and new world. From the moment your plane starts to land in this vast city, you know that your trip will be quite an adventure.

Once in your taxi and the moment you leave the airport, you are amazed at the large amount of slow traffic. The volume of the traffic can be stressful to some.

The "Paseo de la Reforma (改革大道)", running southwest across the city, is one of the major tourist and business areas in Mexico City with many high quality hotels only walking distance from great restaurants and other tourist attractions. The only problem you will have is trying to see all of these sites during your vacation time.

One of the most popular attractions in this area is the National Museum of Anthropology along the northwest part of the street. There are thousands of artifacts on display showing the history of the area and numerous items found from the many Aztec sites in the area. Walking southwest from the museum, you will soon reach the Mexico City Zoo, which is a great place to spend an afternoon.

Across the street from the museum is the Chapultepec Castle, once an important site in the Mexican-American war. It's also a good idea to take the train up the hill to where the castle is located as the hill is steep (陡峭的). It's important to keep in mind that Mexico City is over 7,000 feet above sea level and some feel it difficult to breathe when walking.

You can take a taxi to the Coyoacan market during the evening on a weekend. It's a great place to get some cheap souvenirs to bring back home and to enjoy some traditional Mexican cuisine. However, you must be careful where you eat and that the meat is well cooked.

The tourists in Mexico City may not be satisfied with______.

A．the high speed of the traffic                      B．the heavy traffic of the city

C．the polluted air in the city                                D．their safety in the city

From the third paragraph, we can learn that______.

A．the number of the city attractions can't meet the needs of the tourists

B．it is convenient for tourists to visit the city from where they stay

C．tourists have problems when visiting the sites in Mexico City

D．tourists often have their three meals in the high quality hotels

Which of the following shows the correct positions of the following places?

P = Paseo de la Reforma            M = the National Museum of Anthropology

C = the Chapultepec Castle        Z = the Mexico City Zoo

Which of the following attractions may interest those who want to study the military (of the army) history of Mexico City?

A．The National Museum of Anthropology.    B．The Coyoacan market.

C．The Chapultepec Castle.                           D．The Aztec sites.

Every year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii, Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for ― its stadium (露天大型運(yùn)動(dòng)場(chǎng)) 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 2000 years. Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22000 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 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, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79. There were streets and fountains（噴泉）, houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20000 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 bread ― a 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.
【小題1】Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year?

A．To visit the volcanoB．To shop and eat there
C．To watch sports and playsD．To watch how Pompeiians lived
【小題2】Why had so many Pompeiians remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius?
A．The city nearby 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.
【小題3】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.
【小題4】What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2000 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 good life with drinking and eating.
D．They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in AD 79.
