问题     To the people of ancient Egypt, life on earth was short. Life after death, however, was eternal. Therefore they built their 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.
Which of the following is NOT true?

选项 A、Only the important people can have the tombs of stone.
B、The Pharaohs became gods after their death.
C、Thieves might steal the precious things placed in the tombs.
D、Some pyramids have become a wonder of the world.

答案A

解析 这是一道是非题。我们从第二段首句“越是地位显赫的人物,其死后的坟墓就越宏伟”可知选项A“只有重要人物才有石墓”的说法不准确。文章第二段第二句“法老们是国家的统治者,死后便成为神”,所以选项B的说法正确。文中第四段说建石墓的目的是为防止盗墓贼盗窃陪葬的珍宝,所以我们可以推断选项C正确。选项D在文章第二段的最后一句可找到对应。
