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.
Which of the following is NOT TRUE ?________

选项 A、Only the important people can have the bombs 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 这是一道判断是非的题型。注意题干中的NOT,可用排除法。从第二段首句“The more important the people,the greater the tomb.”意思是:越是重要的人物,死后的石墓就越大。由此可知选项A的说法不准确,所以符合本题的题意。文中还提到:法老们是国家的统治者,死后即为“神灵”。所以选项B符合文义。第四段提到:“建石墓的目的是为防止盗贼盗窃陪葬的珍宝”,所以可以推出选项C也是正确的。文中说“Many of their tombs remain,and some have become a wonder of the world.These are the pyramids.”可见选项D也是对的。
