Ⅰ.阅读理解

It is certain that when the eruption of Vesuvius started on the morning of 24 August,79 AD，it caught the local population unprepared.It is mainly thanks to the account of the younger Pliny that we have some understanding of what happened.And it is through him that we can gain insight into the reactions and feelings of the people caught up in the drama of this natural disaster.Pliny’s account leaves no doubt that everyone was caught unprepared.His uncle，known as the elder Pliny，was stationed in command of the imperial(帝国的) naval base at Misenum，on the northwest extremity of the Bay of Naples.He was not only the senior military officer in the district，but possibly the most well informed living Roman on matters of natural science.His 37volume Natural History is the longest work on science in Latin that has survived from antiquity (古代)．
But for all his science and his seniority，his nephew told us that the elder Pliny was relaxing，after a bath and lunch，when Vesuvius started to erupt.And the sighting of a column of smoke “like an umbrella pine” on the far side of the Bay caused a response more of curiosity than of alarm in him.The same account showed，however，that the signs were there.But they didn’t realize the danger because the phenomenon was frequent in Vesuvius then.
The eruption lasted for more than 24 hours from its start on the morning of 24 August.Those who fled at once had a chance of survival.It is clear that many，like the elder Pliny，thought their best chance was to take shelter and survived the storm.
The hundreds of refugees sheltering in the street at the seaside in Herculaneum，holding their jewellery and money，met their end quickly.It is impossible to tell how many citizens died.
The discovery of Pompeii is of huge importance for our modern day understanding of the ancient Roman world.Their destruction left important questions unanswered，and made it impossible in many ways to gather a satisfactory understanding of the Roman world from them.
1．According to the passage，people nowadays have some understanding of the eruption of Vesuvius mainly through
.
A．the elder Pliny’s account
B．the younger Pliny’s account
