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.
Why did the people of ancient Egypt build their tombs of stone ? ________
选项 A、Because they thought life on the earth was short, but life after death was eternal.
B、Because they wanted to bring all their possessions into another world.
C、Because they wanted to protect their dead bodies from the weather.
D、All of the above.
答案D
解析 这是一道考察细节的题型。题干要求考生选出古埃及人建石墓的原因所在。我们可以从文章找到关键提示。第一段的第三句提到“Therefore they built tombs of stone and they took their possessions with them into another world”，其中“Therefore”意思是“因此”，可见前句是原因之一。所以选项A，B正确。文章第四段“The purpose of…．is to．…”意思为“做…的目的是…”表明选项C也是建石墓的原因。
