Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22,000 people. It 【2】 (lie) at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, a grass-covered volcano. Mount Vesuvius had not erupted for 【3】 (century), so the people of Pompeii felt that they were in 【4】 (safe).

【解析】本文介紹了意大利的龐培古城的歷史和現(xiàn)狀。

【1】考查代詞。龐培因?yàn)樗�的體育場(chǎng)、劇場(chǎng)、商店和飯館而出名。表示“它的……”，所以填its。

【2】考查時(shí)態(tài)。由Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22,000 people. 可判斷出是發(fā)生在過去的事情，所以用一般過去時(shí)，填lay。

【3】考查名詞單復(fù)數(shù)。維蘇威火山幾個(gè)世紀(jì)都沒有噴發(fā)。“幾個(gè)世紀(jì)”是復(fù)數(shù)意義，用名詞復(fù)數(shù)，所以填centuries。

【4】考查固定短語。be in safety安全, 是固定短語，所以填safety。

【5】考查連詞。The entire top of the mountain exploded和a huge black cloud rose into the air. 這兩個(gè)句子是并列關(guān)系，所以填and。

【6】考查語態(tài)。Pompeii與bury之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，用被動(dòng)語態(tài)，且表示發(fā)生在過去的事情，所以用一般過去時(shí)的被動(dòng)語態(tài)，填was buried。

【7】考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。scientist 與name之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以用過去分詞作定語，填named。

【8】考查副詞。and連接并列結(jié)構(gòu)，carefully是副詞，所以這里也需要用一個(gè)副詞，填Slowly。

【9】考查介詞。那里有一個(gè)擁有20,000座位的體育場(chǎng)。所以填with。

【10】考查定語從句。___10___ tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. 是一個(gè)非限制性定語從句，關(guān)系詞在從句中作主語，指代整個(gè)主句內(nèi)容，所以填which。
