18、s successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.C.Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.D.Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.答案C解析推理判断题。由第二段以及第三段的最后两句可知,由于火山突然喷发,人们在毫无准备的情况下就被埋葬了,几个世纪以来都没有被破坏,所以保留了当时全部的情景。故选C项。4.What do we know about the Pomp
