If asked t name a place where yu might make a nce-in-a-lifetime archaelgical (考古的) discvery, yur mind may g t the pyramids f Egypt r the peaks f the a field in Wrcestershire. But a field in Wrcestershire is exactly where wrkmen recently discvered what is thught t be a Rman rad up t 2,000 years ld！
The rad was discvered during rutine (常规的) waterwrks maintenance by Severn Trent. Archaelgical experts frm Wychavn District Cuncil were called t the scene and immediately recgnised the find’s significance.

This is actually nt the first significant histrical discvery in Wrcestershire. A number f pssible frts have been suggested in Wrcestershire since the 1950s, and Wrcestershire is thught t pssibly have been the site fr the Rman twn f Vertis.
It is t early t say withut 100 per cent certainty that the rad is Rman, but even if it is a rad in the Middle Ages, it will still be a natinally significant discvery. If it is indeed a first-century Rman rad, then it is the nly ne f its kind in Britain.

D An unexpected result f a repair service.
26. Hw des Aidan Smyth sund when called t the scene?

C. Annyed.D. Satisfied.
27. What is the text mainly abut?
A. A nce-in-a-lifetime archaelgical literature.

Abut 70 kilmeters ffshre frm the suthern cast f lceland, there is a vlcanic island called Westman Islands. Every summer, lcals can ften be seen standing n the edge f the cliffs(悬崖) thrwing birds dwn.
