Discovery——The fate of cities in natural disasters Pompeii San Francisco Discovery——The fate of cities in natural disasters City of Pompeii A city destroyed and protected In the year 79 CE, lava①from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius②buried the ancient Roman city of Pompeii and killed about two thousand people. The ruins③at Pompeii were first discovered in the late 16th century and excavation④work, however, didn’t begin until 1748. Explorers were surprised to find that Pompeii was almost exactly the same as it had been. Its buildings had not been destroyed. Later, people even found dried fruit and bread! ①lava 岩浆 ②Mount Vesuvius 维苏威火山 ③ruin 废墟 ④excavation（对古物的）发掘，挖掘 bury /ˈberi/ v.掩埋；埋葬 Discovery——The fate of cities in natural disasters San Francisco A city destroyed and rebuilt On 18 April 1906, an earthquake shook San Francisco out of sleep. Then, fires broke out and burned the city in the next four days. Over 3,000 people died, and more than 200,000 people lost their homes. However, the city was rebuilt very quickly. The earthquake was important in scientific terms because for the very first time scientists started to about earthquakes. break out （火灾、灾害等）爆发 in scientific terms从科学角度而言 shake...out of sleep 把…从睡梦中震醒 Read and think Which of the two cities would you like to visit? Why? Read and think Sample1: I would like to visit the city of Pompeii. There are two main reasons for this choice. First, Pompeii is a city that was both destroyed and preserved by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. When I walk through the ruins, I can almost see what life was like in an ancient Roman city 2,000 years ago. It feels like stepping into a time machine. Second, the site is full of surprises. Explorers even found dried fruit and bread that were kept by the volcanic ash. It is amazing to see such everyday things from the past, which helps me understand history in a more vivid way. Read and think Sample2: I would choose to visit San Francisco. I am interested in how the city was destroyed and rebuilt. After the 1906 earthquake, San Francisco was quickly built up again. This shows the strong spirit of the people there.Also, this earthquake was very important in scientific history. It was the first time scientists started to record information about earthquakes. I can learn a lot about both the city’s history and the science of earthquakes when I visit.
