Pyramids are large structures with square bases and four smooth, triangular-shaped sides t

hat come to a point at the top. Several ancient peoples used pyramids as tombs or temples. The most famous pyramids are those built about 4,500 years ago as tombs for Egyptian kings. These Egyptian pyramids are among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

The ruins of 35 major pyramids still stand near the Nile River. in Egypt. Each was built to protect the body of an Egyptian king. The Egyptians thought that a person' s body had to be preserved and protected so that the soul could live forever. The Egyptians mummified (embalmed and dried) their dead and hid the mummies in large tombs. From about 2700 to 1700 B. C. , the bodies of Egyptian kings were buried inside or beneath a pyramid in a secret chamber that was filled with treasures of gold and precious objects.

Many scholars believe that the pyramid shape has a religious meaning to the Egyptians. The sloping sides may have reminded the Egyptians of the slanting rays of the sun, by which the soul of the king could climb to the sky and join the gods.

Funeral ceremonies were performed in temples that were attached to the pyramids. Most pyramids had two temples that were connected by a long stone passage-way. Sometimes a smaller pyramid for the body of the queen stood next to the king' s pyramid. Egypt has at least 40 smaller pyramids that were used for queens or as memorial monuments for kings. The king' s relatives and officials were buried in smaller rectangular tombs called mastabas. These buildings had sloping sides and flat roofs.

Indians of Central and South America also built pyramids. They built stepped pyramids that had flat tops. They used the flat tops as platforms for their temples.

The Mochica Indians of Peru built large brick pyramids. The Temple of the Sun, near what is now Trujillo, on Peru's northern coast, has a terraced brick pyramid on top of stepped platform. The ancient Mayas of Central America built pyramid-shaped mounds of earth with temples on top.

The Toltec Indians of central Mexico also built big stepped pyramids. One of these pyramids, at Cholula, is one of the largest structures in the world. Peoples related to the Toltecs built the great pyramids of the Sun and Moon that still stand at Teotihuacan, near Mexico City. The Spanish conquerors destroyed most pyramids of the later Aztec Empire in Mexico. These pyramids were built in steps or terraces like the other American pyramids, and had temples on top. Two of the greatest were at Tenochtitlan (now Mexico City). Mound building Indians of North America built some pyramids-shaped mounds, but they were not true pyramids.

Imhotep, a great architect and statesman, built the first known pyramid for King Zoser about 2650 B.C. Zoser's tomb rose in a series of giant steps, or terraces, and is called the Step Pyramid. This pyramid still stands at the site of the ancient city of Memphis, near Saqqara.

A．The Mayas.

B．The Mochica Indians of Peru.

C．The Indians of Central Mexico.

The Building of the Pyramids The oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids.（46)

The Building of the Pyramids

The oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids.(46).There are over eighty of them scattered along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids. The most famous of these are the "Step" pyramid and the "Bent" pyramid.

Some of the pyramids still look much the same as they must have done when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings.(47). These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last for ever.(48). However, there are no writings or pictures to show us how the Egyptians planned or built the pyramids themselves.(49). Nevertheless, by examining the actual pyramids and various tools which have been found, archaeologists have formed a fairly clear picture of them.

One thing is certain: there must have been months of careful planning before they could begin to build.(50). You may think this would have been easy with miles and miles of empty desert around, but a pyramid could not be built just anywhere. Certain rules had to be followed, and certain problems had to be overcome.

(46)

A The dry climate of Egypt has helped to preserve the pyramids, and their very shape have made them less likely to fall into ruin.

B 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.

C The first thing they had to do was to choose a suitable place.

D Consequently, we are only able to guess at the methods used.

E Many people were killed while building the pyramids.

F They have stood for nearly 5,000 years, and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet.

听力原文： The ancient Egyptians believed strongly in life after death. They believed that
a person would need his body to exist in his afterlife. (20) Therefore, they carefully preserved the body by treating it with spices and oils and wrapping it in linen cloth. (18) The wrapped body was then placed in a tomb. A body that is treated in this way is called 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 buried in secret tombs carved out of solid rock in a place 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.

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

The term "mummy" was used to describe

A．kings of ancient Egypt.

B．the place where Egyptian kings were buried.

C．the preserved body of a dead person.

D．one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world.
