Pyramids along the Nile River are the most interesting buildings in the world. Thousands of years ago in Egypt, kings built the pyramids. They used to build them as their tombs. The kings thought the pyramids would help them find life after death. They also wanted the world to remember them as important people.
    The oldest pyramid we know today is the one near Sahara in Egypt. It is about 5,000 years old. The largest is the pyramid of Khufu. It is made of two million three hundred thousand huge stones, most of them higher than a person. It is about 114 meters high. To build the pyramid of Khufu, 100,000 men worked for twenty years. We know there were wonderful treasures in the pyramid. Robbers went into the pyramids and took many of these treasures. Today some of the treasures are in museums though.
    How did the people of ancient days build the pyramids? How did they carry and lift the huge stones? Each stone fits so well and they didn’ t have our modern machines.  Scientists have studied the pyramids but no one can say for sure how they did it.
选项 A、It took 100,000 men twenty years to finish building it.
B、It has a history of over 5000 years.
C、It’s made of 230,000 stones and is 140 meters high.
D、The treasures that used to be in it are now in museums.
答案A
解析 综合判断题。通过浏览选项，看到这四个内容不相干的完整句子汇集此处，可知本题可能是个判断是非题，所以听短文时务必关注选项所表示的信息，并做好相应的标记。原文后半部分介绍埃及最大的金字塔——胡夫金字塔的有关信息。胡夫金字塔是最大的但不是最古老的，历史最久远的金字塔是埃及撒哈拉附近的，原文关键句子是“The oldest pyramid we know today is the one near Sahara in Egypt． It is about 5，000 year sold．”，所以选项B指的是最古老的金字塔，不是指胡夫这座埃及最大的金字塔；最大的金字塔——胡夫金字塔由2，300，000块巨石构成，大多数石块都有一人多高，胡夫金字塔高约114米，参考原文“The largest is the pyramid of Khufu. It is made of two million three hundred thousand huge stones，most of them higher than a person．It is about 114 meters high．”，山此可见，选项C前半句是错的；众所周知胡夫金字塔藏有很多珠宝，可是有好事者人窃偷盗许多珠宝，如今博物馆所见胡夫金字塔的珠宝只是其中一部分，参考原文“We know there were wonderful treasures in the pyramid．Robbers went into the pyramids and took many of these treasures．Today some of the treasures are in museums though．”，选项D武断宣称，胡夫金字塔的珠宝现在全收藏在博物馆，这一说法是不正确的；胡夫金字塔由100，000工人花了20年时间建成，参考原文“To build the pyramid of Khufu． 100，000 men worked for twenty years．”，所以正确答案是A。
