Pompei 【2】 (found) in the 8th century BC, then taken【3】by the Romans in 89 BC. Later, Pompei was destroyed by a volcano. It erupted and covered Pompei with ash.【4】 (fortunate), many people were buried alive. The city was forgotten for many years until the 18th century when a stone with writing on it was discovered by a farmer. People started to dig in the area 【5】treasure and caused much damage.

【1】lucky

【2】was founded

【3】over

【4】Unfortunately

【5】for

【6】it

【7】ruins

【8】an

【9】running

【10】Which

【解析】本文介紹已經(jīng)失去的古文明——意大利的Pompeii 和中國的Loulan。

【1】此處felt是連系動詞，后面用形容詞做后置定語，故答案為lucky。

【2】此處Pompei和found之間是被動關(guān)系，根據(jù)句意可知用一般過去時態(tài)的被動語態(tài)，故答案為was founded。

【3】句意：在89 BC被羅馬人接管。take over接管，可知答案為over。

【4】根據(jù)many people were buried alive很多人被活埋，可知，此事是遺憾地，副詞修飾整個句子，故答案為Unfortunately。

【5】句意：人們開始在這個地區(qū)挖掘財寶。dig for尋求，故答案為for。

【6】句意：該地區(qū)由政府管轄，因此它可以加以保存和研究。此處用it指代前面提到的Pompei。

【7】a few修飾可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)，故答案為ruins。

【8】句意：有一個古老的水系貫穿市中心。ancient以元音開頭，所以此空天an。

【9】句意：有一個古老的水系貫穿市中心。此處是現(xiàn)在分詞做后置定語，表主動關(guān)系，故答案為running。

【10】句意：他們被看到，這導(dǎo)致城市被沙淹埋。前面整個句子做先行詞，后面用which引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句。故答案為which。
