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.
In the last paragraph, the italicized " it " indicates________.
选项 A、the sun
B、the river Nile
C、their position
D、a single point
答案C
解析 本题是一道考察语法的题型。题干要求找出代词“it”指代的内容。原文最后一段中“Their position on the west bank of the River Nile was where the sun set every day”在and前面部分是说金字塔的位置在尼罗河西岸。后面“where they believed it began its journey into the other world．”紧接着说古埃及人认为金字塔所处位置是人死后人生旅程的开端，由此推出“it”就指代人们所认为的“金字塔的位置”，故正确答案是选项C。
