There were huge waves, and many boats were overturned, but some families got away. Other people ran into the country, away from the mountain. In the end, most of the people escaped from Pompeii in time. But about 2,000 people didn’t get away. They died under the ashes. In fact, the city was covered with about 15-20 feet of ashes. When it rained later, the ashes became as hard as rock. ‎ Not far from Pompeii was another small city. The people who lived there could see the volcano, and they talked to the people who escaped. A boy named ‎ Pliny watched and listened to everything. When he grew up, he wrote about ‎ Pompeii, but his writings were lost. ‎ After many years, people built a new town over Pompeii. The old Roman city was forgotten. Then, in the 19 th century, people found some of Pliny’s writings. They read his story about Pompeii and wondered where it was. One day near Vesuvius, some workers were making a hole in the ground, and they found pieces of an old wall. A few years later, more walls and buildings were found. There was also a stone with the name of the city --- Pompeii. ‎ In 1860, the King of Italy told scientists to uncover Pompeii. They took away a lot of rock and dirt, and found the city just as it was before the volcano. In one café there was still money on a table. In a house, there were pots and pans in a fireplace and a bowl of eggs on a table. The ash kept all these things the same for two hundred years. ‎ At first, the scientists wondered why they found few human bones. But then, they understood what had happened. The bodies and bones were gone, but in their place, there were holes in the rocks. ‎ Today, Pompeii is an open-air museum. People come from all over the world to see it. Scientists continue to study the Roman city. From it, they have learned a lot about the way people lived in those days. ‎ ‎68.

The beginning of the seventeenth century saw the appearance of the slave trade. Ships from Europe travelled to the West African coast, where they exchanged cheap goods for black slaves. The slaves were shipped in terrible conditions to the Caribbean islands and the American coast, where they were in turn exchanged for such products as sugar and molasses (糖蜜). The ships then returned to England, completing an “Atlantic triangle” of journeys, and the process began again. Britain and the United States had outlawed the slave trade by 1865, but by that time, nearly 200 years of trading had taken place. By the middle of the nineteenth century, there were over four million black slaves in America. ‎ The policy of the slave-traders was to bring people of different language backgrounds together in the ships, to make it difficult for groups to plan rebellion ‎ ‎(造反). The result was the growth of several pidgin (混杂语言) forms of communication, and in particular a pidgin between the slaves and the sailors, many of whom spoke English. Once arriving in the Caribbean, this pidgin English continued to act as a major means of communication between the black population and the new landowners, and among the blacks themselves. Then, when children came to be born, the pidgin became their mother tongue, thus producing the first black Creole speech in the region. This Creole English rapidly came to be used throughout the cotton plantations (种植园), and in the coastal towns and islands. Similarly, creolized forms of French, Spanish and Portuguese appeared in and around the Caribbean. ‎ ‎72.

What is the text mainly about? ‎ A. Languages spoken in America. B. “Atlantic triangle” of journeys. C. The history of slave trade. D. The origin of black English. ‎ 第二卷 ‎ V. 阅读表达（10%） ‎ I’m a 34-year-old man, married, lived in a nice house, and have a successful career as an educational consultant. But my life was not always so great. I had a learning disability from an early age. I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra help. Still, I suffered the rest of my school days in public schools. ‎ My life improved remarkably when I discovered art. The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words. I went to a workshop and gradually got good at making things with clay(黏土).

And my confidence came along. ‎ I got my next lesson from rock climbing. It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start. I soon noticed it wasn’t a talent thing; it was practice. So I did it more. After about five years of climbing, I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big ‎ wall. I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time, you will get better at it. ‎ Later I decided to apply my previous experience to learning how to read and write. Every day I practiced reading and writing, which I used to avoid as much as possible. After two hard years, I was literate. ‎ Having gone through the long process with art, rock climbing, and reading and writing, now I’ve got to a point in my life where I know I am smart enough to dive into an area that is totally unknown, hard, but interesting. ‎ 76.
