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.
Where were these pyramids located ?________
选项 A、Along the both banks of the Nile.
B、In another word.
C、Near the place where they lived.
D、On the west bank of the River Nile.
答案D
解析 同样是一道考察细节的题型。文章最后一段“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．”中文意思主要讲：石墓位于尼罗河西岸，那里是每天日落的地方，也是他们认为死者开始他们极乐世界人生旅程的开始。所有古埃及的墓地都在尼罗河的西岸。所以得出正确答案是选项D。
