[教材原文]
The Last Days of Pompeii (Excerpt)
Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1803-1873) was a talented① British writer who left his mark on② the English language. His classic novel The Last Days of Pompeii imagines life in the ancient Roman③ city of Pompeii in the year 79, when Mount Vesuvius erupted④. This terrible natural disaster destroyed Pompeii completely, but it also kept the ancient city as it was for future ages. Since 1748, Pompeii has been systematically⑤ unearthed⑥. Today it is an international tourist destination⑦.
Pompeii was a typical Roman city. In its little shops, its tiny palaces, its forum⑧， its wine bars⑨， its theatre—in the energy and skill of its people, you saw a model of the whole Roman Empire. Trading ships bringing imports⑩ to the city or carrying exports overseas, along with golden pleasure boats for the rich, were crowded together in the glassy water of the port . The boats of the fishermen moved rapidly in all directions . Above all ， the cloud-capped top of Mount Vesuvius appeared. Its ashy rocks, now dark, now light, told a story of past eruptions that might have warned the city what was to come [1]!
[1]might have done表示过去本可以做而实际并没有做，含有轻微的责备或惋惜之意。
He might have given more help，even though he was very busy.
即使他很忙，他也本可以多帮点儿忙。
The awful night rolled slowly away, and the dawn greyly broke on THE LAST DAY OF POMPEII! The crowd looked upwards, and saw, with unspeakable fear, a huge cloud shooting from the top of the volcano [2]. It took the form of a huge tree: the trunk ， blackness, the branches, fire [3]! This fire moved and changed in colour with every moment: now it was wildly bright, now of a pale and dying red, and now again it burnt with an unbearable light!
[2]本句是一个简单句，and连接两个并列的谓语looked和saw。
[3]the trunk, blackness, the branches, fire以省略形式呈现，用简短的句式强调了火山喷发出的云团的形态，营造了一种火山爆发时的紧张氛围。
The cries of women broke out ； the men looked at each other, but were silent. At that moment, they felt the earth shaking beneath their feet; beyond in the distance ， they heard the crash of falling roofs. A moment later, the mountain-cloud seemed to roll towards them, dark and rapid, like a river; at the same time, it threw out a shower of ashes and huge pieces of burning stone! Over the empty streets—over the forum—far and wide —with many a noisy crash in the stormy sea—fell that awful shower[4]!
[4]该句最重要的信息fell that awful shower出现在最后，次要的信息出现在句首，这样的句式通常被称为“圆周句”或者“掉尾句”。这种句式可以营造一种悬念，抓住读者的注意力，在末尾形成高潮，有力地表达重要的信息。
Each turned to fly—each running, pressing, pushing against the other. If, in the darkness ， wife was separated from husband, or parent from child, there was no hope of their meeting again. Each hurried blindly and fearfully on . So came the earthquake... and so ended life in Pompeii.
Nearly seventeen centuries had rolled away before the city of Pompeii was dug from its silent resting place. Its walls were fresh as if painted yesterday[5]; not a single colour changed on the rich pattern of its floors. In its forum, the half-finished columns seemed as if just left by the workman's hand. Long after fire and ash came for the people of Pompeii, the remains of their beautiful city survive to remind us that human lives burn bright and short.
[5]as if 引导的方式状语从句的省略：as if＋分词/不定式/形容词/介词短语等。
He opened the drawer，as if (he was) in search of something important.他打开抽屉，仿佛要找什么重要的东西。
[汉语译文]
庞贝城的末日(节选)
爱德华·布尔沃-利顿(1803—1873)是一位才华横溢的英国作家，对英语语言产生了深远的影响。在其经典小说《庞贝城的末日》中，他对公元79年维苏威火山爆发时，古罗马城市庞贝的生活场景展开了想象。这场骇人天灾将庞贝城彻底摧毁，却又为后世保存了这座古城的原貌。从1748年起，庞贝城开始得到系统发掘。如今这里已成为国际旅游胜地。
庞贝是一座典型的罗马城市。从它的一个小商铺、一座座小殿宇、广场、酒馆、剧场中——从庞贝人的活力和技艺中，你能看到整个罗马帝国的缩影。进口货物到城内、出口货物到海外的商船，以及富贵人家金灿灿的游船，齐聚在港口波光粼粼的水面上。条条渔船向着四面八方疾行。在这一切的上方，云雾笼罩的维苏威火山山顶若隐若现。火山岩忽明忽暗，讲述着几度喷发的往事，这原本可以警告这座城市里的人们，即将到来的是什么！
可怕的夜晚缓缓退去，晦暗的晨光开启了庞贝城的末日！人们抬头仰望，眼前景象让他们感到莫名恐惧，只见一团庞大的云正从火山口喷薄而出。它形似一株巨树：树干，黑魆魆的；枝叶，那是火！火焰翻腾着，颜色变幻不定，时而极明亮，时而又变得微弱，呈现熄灭之前的暗红，时而又烧起来，放出刺眼的强光！
女人们开始尖叫；男人们面面相觑，却都一言不发。那一刻，他们感到脚下的大地正在颤抖；他们听到远处有屋顶坍塌的巨响。过了片刻，山上的云团似乎正向他们滚滚而来，阴沉迅猛，如汹涌的江水；与此同时，云团中抛洒下阵雨似的火山灰和大块大块燃烧着的石头！落在空荡荡的街道，落在广场上，四面八方，还有许多掉在波涛汹涌的大海里，发出阵阵巨响——下了一场可怕的大雨！
所有人都赶忙飞奔——他们奔跑，拥挤，你推我搡。黑暗中，一旦妻离子散，就绝不可能重逢了。每个人都惊慌失措地盲目奔逃。这时，地震来了……庞贝城的生活就此终结。
时间流过了近十七个世纪，庞贝城终于从它寂静的长眠之地被发掘出来。它的墙壁仍然新得像昨天刚刚刷完；地板上繁复的图案，一点都没有褪色。广场上，那些尚未完工的石柱看起来就像刚刚离开工匠之手。在大火和火山灰袭击庞贝人很久很久之后，他们美丽城市的遗迹得以留存下来，提醒我们人类的生命灿烂而短暂。

2 (教材原句)Its walls were fresh as if painted yesterday...
它的墙壁依然新得像昨天刚刚刷完……
[句式分析] 句中as if painted是省略了的状语从句，补充完整为as if they were painted。
状语从句的省略
(1)当时间、条件、让步、方式等状语从句的主语与主句主语一致(或者从句主语是it)，且从句谓语含有be动词时，为了简练，可以将从句的主语和be动词一起省略。
(2)before和after引导的时间状语从句通常不采用以上省略形式。若从句主语和主句主语一致，可把before/after用作介词，后跟动名词形式。
While (he was) a young boy, he was always ready to help others.他在孩提时代就总是乐于助人。
When (she was) walking along the river bank, she was singing a pop song.她沿着河堤边走边唱着流行歌曲。

[教材原文]
The Last Days of Pompeii (Excerpt)
Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1803-1873) was a talented① British writer who left his mark on② the English language. His classic novel The Last Days of Pompeii imagines life in the ancient Roman③ city of Pompeii in the year 79, when Mount Vesuvius erupted④. This terrible natural disaster destroyed Pompeii completely, but it also kept the ancient city as it was for future ages. Since 1748, Pompeii has been systematically⑤ unearthed⑥. Today it is an international tourist destination⑦.
Pompeii was a typical Roman city. In its little shops, its tiny palaces, its forum⑧， its wine bars⑨， its theatre—in the energy and skill of its people, you saw a model of the whole Roman Empire. Trading ships bringing imports⑩ to the city or carrying exports overseas, along with golden pleasure boats for the rich, were crowded together in the glassy water of the port . The boats of the fishermen moved rapidly in all directions . Above all ， the cloud-capped top of Mount Vesuvius appeared. Its ashy rocks, now dark, now light, told a story of past eruptions that might have warned the city what was to come [1]!
[1]might have done表示过去本可以做而实际并没有做，含有轻微的责备或惋惜之意。
He might have given more help，even though he was very busy.
即使他很忙，他也本可以多帮点儿忙。
The awful night rolled slowly away, and the dawn greyly broke on THE LAST DAY OF POMPEII! The crowd looked upwards, and saw, with unspeakable fear, a huge cloud shooting from the top of the volcano [2]. It took the form of a huge tree: the trunk ， blackness, the branches, fire [3]! This fire moved and changed in colour with every moment: now it was wildly bright, now of a pale and dying red, and now again it burnt with an unbearable light!
[2]本句是一个简单句，and连接两个并列的谓语looked和saw。
[3]the trunk, blackness, the branches, fire以省略形式呈现，用简短的句式强调了火山喷发出的云团的形态，营造了一种火山爆发时的紧张氛围。
The cries of women broke out ； the men looked at each other, but were silent. At that moment, they felt the earth shaking beneath their feet; beyond in the distance ， they heard the crash of falling roofs. A moment later, the mountain-cloud seemed to roll towards them, dark and rapid, like a river; at the same time, it threw out a shower of ashes and huge pieces of burning stone! Over the empty streets—over the forum—far and wide —with many a noisy crash in the stormy sea—fell that awful shower[4]!
[4]该句最重要的信息fell that awful shower出现在最后，次要的信息出现在句首，这样的句式通常被称为“圆周句”或者“掉尾句”。这种句式可以营造一种悬念，抓住读者的注意力，在末尾形成高潮，有力地表达重要的信息。
Each turned to fly—each running, pressing, pushing against the other. If, in the darkness ， wife was separated from husband, or parent from child, there was no hope of their meeting again. Each hurried blindly and fearfully on . So came the earthquake... and so ended life in Pompeii.
Nearly seventeen centuries had rolled away before the city of Pompeii was dug from its silent resting place. Its walls were fresh as if painted yesterday[5]; not a single colour changed on the rich pattern of its floors. In its forum, the half-finished columns seemed as if just left by the workman's hand. Long after fire and ash came for the people of Pompeii, the remains of their beautiful city survive to remind us that human lives burn bright and short.
[5]as if 引导的方式状语从句的省略：as if＋分词/不定式/形容词/介词短语等。
He opened the drawer，as if (he was) in search of something important.他打开抽屉，仿佛要找什么重要的东西。
[汉语译文]
庞贝城的末日(节选)
爱德华·布尔沃-利顿(1803—1873)是一位才华横溢的英国作家，对英语语言产生了深远的影响。在其经典小说《庞贝城的末日》中，他对公元79年维苏威火山爆发时，古罗马城市庞贝的生活场景展开了想象。这场骇人天灾将庞贝城彻底摧毁，却又为后世保存了这座古城的原貌。从1748年起，庞贝城开始得到系统发掘。如今这里已成为国际旅游胜地。
庞贝是一座典型的罗马城市。从它的一个小商铺、一座座小殿宇、广场、酒馆、剧场中——从庞贝人的活力和技艺中，你能看到整个罗马帝国的缩影。进口货物到城内、出口货物到海外的商船，以及富贵人家金灿灿的游船，齐聚在港口波光粼粼的水面上。条条渔船向着四面八方疾行。在这一切的上方，云雾笼罩的维苏威火山山顶若隐若现。火山岩忽明忽暗，讲述着几度喷发的往事，这原本可以警告这座城市里的人们，即将到来的是什么！
可怕的夜晚缓缓退去，晦暗的晨光开启了庞贝城的末日！人们抬头仰望，眼前景象让他们感到莫名恐惧，只见一团庞大的云正从火山口喷薄而出。它形似一株巨树：树干，黑魆魆的；枝叶，那是火！火焰翻腾着，颜色变幻不定，时而极明亮，时而又变得微弱，呈现熄灭之前的暗红，时而又烧起来，放出刺眼的强光！
女人们开始尖叫；男人们面面相觑，却都一言不发。那一刻，他们感到脚下的大地正在颤抖；他们听到远处有屋顶坍塌的巨响。过了片刻，山上的云团似乎正向他们滚滚而来，阴沉迅猛，如汹涌的江水；与此同时，云团中抛洒下阵雨似的火山灰和大块大块燃烧着的石头！落在空荡荡的街道，落在广场上，四面八方，还有许多掉在波涛汹涌的大海里，发出阵阵巨响——下了一场可怕的大雨！
所有人都赶忙飞奔——他们奔跑，拥挤，你推我搡。黑暗中，一旦妻离子散，就绝不可能重逢了。每个人都惊慌失措地盲目奔逃。这时，地震来了……庞贝城的生活就此终结。
时间流过了近十七个世纪，庞贝城终于从它寂静的长眠之地被发掘出来。它的墙壁仍然新得像昨天刚刚刷完；地板上繁复的图案，一点都没有褪色。广场上，那些尚未完工的石柱看起来就像刚刚离开工匠之手。在大火和火山灰袭击庞贝人很久很久之后，他们美丽城市的遗迹得以留存下来，提醒我们人类的生命灿烂而短暂。

[句式分析] 句中as if painted是省略了的状语从句，补充完整为as if they were painted。
状语从句的省略
(1)当时间、条件、让步、方式等状语从句的主语与主句主语一致(或者从句主语是it)，且从句谓语含有be动词时，为了简练，可以将从句的主语和be动词一起省略。
(2)before和after引导的时间状语从句通常不采用以上省略形式。若从句主语和主句主语一致，可把before/after用作介词，后跟动名词形式。
While (he was) a young boy, he was always ready to help others.他在孩提时代就总是乐于助人。
When (she was) walking along the river bank, she was singing a pop song.她沿着河堤边走边唱着流行歌曲。

Children experience advertising in many forms—on TV, magazines, newspapers, movies, the Internet and more. And advertising works on children. For example, the more TV a child watches, the more toys that child is likely to want and ask for. This is why it's important for children to learn that advertisements are trying to make people purchase something. And advertisers always aim to make their products look good, perhaps even better than they really are.
Advertising affects children in different ways. How children think of advertising can depend on several things, including their age or what they have experienced. At 0～2 years old, children can't tell the difference between advertising and actual programs. At 3～6 years old, children can recognize advertisements and tell them from actual programs, but they don't understand that ads are trying to sell something. And they are likely to think of advertisements as being funny.
At 7～11 years old, when children go to primary school, they can understand that advertisements are trying to sell them something, remember advertising messages and recognize some advertising techniques like overstating (夸大) how good products are. However, they might not always understand that products aren't as good as advertisements say they are.
To limit the effects of advertising on school-age children, the most important thing parents can do is talk about advertisements and encourage their children to think about what they are trying to do.
It is a good idea to focus on the advertisements that a child sees most often. For example, parents can get their children thinking and developing a questioning attitude. In other words, what's the product in this advertisement What is it for Who is it for
They can also ask their children about the techniques that are being used to sell a product. This can help them work out how an advertisement makes its product look good.

答案：B
解析：考查词义猜测。根据第一段中的“For example, the more TV a child watches, the more toys that child is likely to want and ask for”可知，孩子们电视看得越多，想买的东西就越多，那么父母应该让孩子们知道广告的目的就是说服人们购买东西。

Having lived in California until 1970, my family has felt a number of earthquakes. We have been fortunate, however, to have suffered no bodily harm or property damage.
There is a website that lists all California earthquakes recorded from 1769 to the present. The site lists the dates and times as well as the magnitude (震级) and the exact location of any quake that measured more than 6.0. There are only a few quakes that stand out in my memory and, luckily, none is shown in the website. So, my personal experience with earthquakes might be considered insignificant.
There are three earthquakes that are difficult to forget. The first one was in 1955 and our oldest daughter was walking with me in our backyard in Redwood City in CaliforniA． As the shaking became stronger I held her to me with one arm as I held on to one of our fruit trees with the other. All three of us (my daughter, I and the tree) shook for two or three minutes that to us felt like hours.
The second one was in 1963. Our entire family was visiting Disneyland in Southern CaliforniA． The earth started to shake just as we were beginning to walk from our hotel toward the famous landmark．
My third experience with an earthquake was a lonely one in California． It was in my sixties and I was alone in an old church. As the building started to shake, I quickly headed for the door to go outside. I remember I said a little prayer—something like, “Help me get out of here in time, Dear Heavenly Father.” Minutes later, I was safe outside.
