PART II: Question 6-10 Read the following passage and then circle the best answer A, B,C, or D Pompeii The ancient Roman town of Pompeii sat at the foot of the giant volcano Vesuvius in southern Italy. The town and the volcano had lived peacefully side by side for years. Pompeii’s citizens lived a good life. Their town was a wealthy port and a popular resort. Many rich Romans had their vacation homes there. The theaters, shops, and temples were filled with activity. All this ended on August 24th in the year 79 A.D. At about noon on August 24th, a great cloud of ash and rocks spewed out of the top of Vesuvius, ascending 20 kilometers into the air. The ash and rocks began to rain down on the citizens of Pompeii and other nearby towns. Soon, the roofs of Pompeii were covered with a layer of volcanic material that was about three meters thick. Buildings started collapsing under the heavy weight. By this time, people had already started escaping from the town. Taking what possessions they could and calling fearfully to their loved ones to join them, they escaped to the countryside, as far from the town as they could go. By evening, most of the residents had left Pompeii. But Vesuvius hadn’t finished yet. All night long, it continued to spew rock and ash high into the air. The next morning, steaming lava poured out of the volcano and rolled down its sides toward Pompeii. The lava buried the town in a layer so deep that only the tops of the very tallest buildings could be seen. Later, some people returned to the town to try to dig their possessions out of the hardened lava, but of course no one could live there any more. The buried town lay abandoned for hundreds of years. In 1748, the long-forgotten town was rediscovered. Since then, a number of excavations have been made uncovering a great deal of information about ancient Roman life. Architecture, art, and other examples of Roman culture were all perfectly preserved by the lava. Excavators have also uncovered the bodies of about 2,000 Pompeii citizens who, unable to escape the rushing wave of lava, became frozen in it forever. 6. What is this passage mainly about? A.
