问题     To the people of ancient Egypt, life on earth was short. Life after death, however, was e-ternal. Therefore they built tombs of stone and they took their possessions with them into another world.
    The more important the people, the greater the tomb. The Pharaohs were the rulers of the country and when they died they became gods. Many of their tombs remain, and some have become a wonder of the world.
    These are the pyramids.
    The purpose of these stone mountains was to protect the burial chamber from the weather and from thieves who might try to steal the gold, jewels and precious possessions placed there to accompany the dead ruler into eternal life.
    Their shape, with four triangular sides spreading from a single point, represented the rays of the sun. Their position on the west bank of the River Nile was where the sun set every day and where they believed it began its journey into the other world. All the burial grounds in ancient Egypt were on the west bank of the river.
Whose Tombs were the largest and the most impressive of all ? ________

选项 A、The tribe leader’s tombs.
B、The Pharaohs’ tombs.
C、The tombs of those who built them.
D、The rulers’ wives.

答案B

解析 这是一道考察细节的题型。文章整个第二段“The more important the people,the greater the tomb.The Pharaohs were the rulers of the country and when they died they became gods.Many of their tombs remain,and some have become a wonder of the world.”意思指:重要的人物,死后的石墓就越大。法老们是国家的统治者,死后即为“神灵”。他们的许多墓都保留了下来,并且其中一些成为了世界奇迹。由此得知,法老的石墓最大,选项B符合题意。
