History books tell us that the city of Rome was set up in 152 B.C. It’s a fact, however, that by 100 A.D., Rome was the centre of a big empire. It was from Syria in the east to Spain in the west, from Britain in the north to Africa in the south. All or part of 27 of today’s countries were included in the Roman Empire. All of their people were ruled by one government, that of Rome. All educated people spoke the same language, Latin. And one of the empire’s outposts was called Londinium. This unimportant town would later become London, England, and the centre of another empire.
The Roman Empire came to and end about 1,500 years ago. Yet in some ways it is still with us. Take the letters you are reading, for example, English, like many other languages, uses the Roman alphabet (字母) while also borrowing many words. The laws of many European countries are based on ancient Roman laws. Roman ruins are seen throughout Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. In some places, Roman roads and water courses are still in use. To this day, a European in North Africa is likely to be called “Roumi”-Roman. Even modern place names are often after Ancient Rome. Both Greece and Germany have the names given by the Romans rather than the names that their own people first called them.
29. The main idea of Paragraph 2 is that Roman culture is ________.
A. dead and gone B. based completely on language
C. still part of the present D. unimportant to history
30. In the days of the Empire, the Roman government was probably ________.
A. weak B. divided C. strong D. poor
31. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. In Europe people still use Roman names in some places.
B. Londinium became the centre of an empire after Roman Empire fell apart.
C. We may see some remaining parts of Roman Empire in North Africa.
D. In Europe 27 countries had the same laws.
