while your neighbor goes to work or taking an elderly parent to a doctors appointment when their car wont start. if you hear that someone close by is ill, has had an accident, or is out of work, give him a hot meal or a fresh dessert. your kindness will add a special feeling during a difficult time. if your neighbor is cutting down a tree or building a doghouse, offer helping hands to him/her. there is no better way to build relationship. besides, you never know when the favor might be returned. exchange holiday cards, gifts or traditions. invite your neighbors over for a cup of coffee or lunch. a backyard barbecue can be a great way to share food and fun. if theyve watched your kids grow up or been concerned about your family events, they may want to share these special events. plan a party. invite all your neighbors to your party. planning and carrying out the activity helps everyone to know and understand each other. your neighbors are like your family in many ways since you have

pompeiievery year thousands of tourists visit pompeii (庞贝，意大利那不勒斯附近一座古城) , italy. they see the sights that pompeii is famous for - its stadium and theatre, its shops and restaurants. the tourists do not, however, see pompeiis 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 22,000 people. it lay at the foot of mount vesuvius (维苏威火山) , a grass-covered volcano (火山). mount vesuvius had not erupted (爆发) 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, houses and shops. there was a stadium with 20, 000 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 even bakery (面包房). 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.33why do large numbers of people come to pompeii each year?a. to visit the volcano.b. to

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.35.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 kings of makeup.c they enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating.d they went back to pompeii after the eruption in ad 79.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 36 you can find it on buildings, sidewalks, street signs and trash cans from tokyo to paris, from moscow to cape town. street art has become a global culture. even art museums and galleries are collecting the works of street artists. street art started very secretly because it was illegal to paint on public and private property without permission. 37 some think it is a crime and others think it is a very beautiful new form of culture. art experts say that the street art movement began in new york in the 1960s. young adults painted words and other images on the walls and trains. this colourful style of writing became known as graffiti（涂鸦）, whose art showed that young people wanted to rebel against society. street artists do their work for different reasons. 38 they choose street art because it is closer to the people. some artists try to express their political opinion in their works. others like to do things that are not allowed and hope they cant be caught. advertising companies also use street art in their ads because it gives people the impressions of youth and energy. 39 artists can show their pictures to people all over the world. many people, however, say that seeing a picture on the internet is never
