听力原文： Some of the most interesting buildings in the world are the pyramids. Thousands of years ago in Egypt, kings built the pyramids. They used to build them as tombs. They thought pyramids would help them find life after death. They also wanted the world to remember them as important people. There are many pyramids along the Nile River. The largest is the pyramid of Khufu. It is made of 2,300,000 huge stones, most of which are higher than a person. It is about 144 meters high. To build this pyramid,100,000 men worked for twenty years.

The people of Mexico also built pyramids. They didn't build the pyramids for tombs. They used to build a pyramid and then build a temple on top of it. The pyramids of Mexico are not as high as those of Egypt, but they are big. Each pyramid has a stairway that goes from the bottom to the top. The biggest pyramid in Mexico is almost 2,000 years old. Scientist's think it took 10,000 men more than ten years to build. On top they built a temple to the sun. The temple is no longer there, but people call it the Pyramid of the Sun.

Scientists have studied the pyramids, but nobody can say just how the people of the ancient days built the pyramids and how they carried and lifted the huge stones. Each stone fits so well and they didn't have our modern machines Z.

听力原文： The oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids. They have stood for nearly 5,000 years, and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet. There are over eighty of them scattered along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids.

Some of the pyramids still look much as they must have done when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings. The dry climate of Egypt has helped to preserve the pyramids, and their very shape has made them less likely to fall into ruin. These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last forever.

It is practically certain that plans were made for the building of the pyramids because the plans of other large works have fortunately been preserved. However, there are no writings or pictures to show us how the Egyptians planned or built the pyramids themselves. Consequently, we are only able to guess the methods used. Nevertheless, by examining the actual pyramids and various tools which have been found, archaeologists have formed a fairly clear picture of them.

(26)

A．The weather.

B．The corrosion of the river.

C．People in search of stone as building materials.

D．Bad planning.

听力原文： The ancient Egyptians believed strongly in life after-death. They also believed that a person would need his body to exist in his afterlife. Therefore, they carefully preserved the body by treating it with spices and oils and wrapping it in a linen cloth. The wrapped body was then placed in a tomb. A body that is treated in this way is caned a mummy.

Egyptian kings and nobles wanted to be certain that their mummies would be kept in safe places forever. They had great tombs built for themselves and their families. Many kings were buffed in secret tombs carved out of solid reek in places near Thebes called the Valley of the Kings. About eighty kings built towering pyramid-shaped stone tombs. These pyramids have become famous as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

One of the most amazing things about these pyramids is that they were constructed without using wheels or heavy equipment to raise the rocks. Egyptians did not learn about the wheel until long after the pyramids were built. Workmen used levels to get large blocks of stone on and off sledges and hauled them into places over long ramps built around the pyramids.

(20)

A．Kings of ancient Egypt.

B．Ancient Egyptian nobles.

C．The place where Egyptian kings were buffed.

D．The preserved body of a dead person.

Thousands of years ago in Egypt, kings built pyramids. They used to build them as their tombs. The kings thought the pyramids would help them find life after death. They also wanted the world to remember them as important people. Scale pyramids were for queens. But they were less interesting because they are not as big. The oldest pyramid that we know today is the pyramid near Sahara in Egypt. It is about 5,000 years old. There are many pyramids dong the Nile River. The largest is the pyramid of Khufu. It is made of two million three hundred thousand huge stones, most of them higher than a person. It is about 144 meters high. Inside the pyramid are the burial rooms for the king and queen and long passage ways to these rooms. The rest d the pyramid is solid stone. Workers usually built the pyramids when they could not work on their farms. To build the pyramid of Khufu, 1130,000 men worked for 20 years. We know there were wonderful treasures in the pyramids. Robbers went into the pyramids and took many of these treasures. Today some of the treasures are in museums though.

The people of Mexico also built pyramids. They did not build the pyramids for tombs. They used to build the pyramid and then build a temple on top of it.
