As I stood there, I reflected on where I was. Was I in the middle of the tomb of a king, the most powerful ruler the world has ever known？ Or was I at the center of something much more mysterious？ A monument of such mathematical accuracy and advanced architecture that the modern world can only marvel at？ A magical shape built by a civilization whose knowledge and wisdom have been lost today？
I was silent in wonderment. The Great Pyramid at Giza, built for the Pharaoh Cheops, is large, to say the least. It is built from 2300000 blocks of stone, each weighing 15 tons, and as Napoleon's scientists calculated, it contains enough stone to build a huge wall all around France. At the time when it was completed (over 5,000 years ago), it must have been magnificent-covered in white limestone and topped by a cap of solid gold. Yet ever today it is a marvel—and even more than that, a mystery. How did the Egyptians (who still hadn't discovered the wheel) build such a huge monument; each stone put together with such precision that architects today would have difficulty copying？ How were these huge stones cut, carried and lifted into place, when the people only had simple wooden rollers, levers and primitive tools？
But perhaps these are the least of the Great Pyramid's mysteries. For it is quite possible that this pyramid was not used as a tomb at all. In A.D. 800, when the Sultan of Baghdad, Al Mamud, finally managed to reach the central burial chamber of Cheops (after tunelling passed large stones that blocked the entrance), he found nothing! The chamber was empty. Unlike other tombs that possessed the kings' priceless treasures, this one was completely empty. Nothing was there.
Was the Great Pyramid something other than a tomb？ In 1638 an Oxford professor measured the king's chamber and was shocked by its "exact" size. Even Sir Isaac Newton became interested in the pyramid's perfect shape. However, it was John Taylor, the editor of The Observer, whose studies brought about the most amazing discovery. He showed, quite clearly, by the measurements of the pyramid, that the early Egyptians must have known the value of pi. Amazingly, they were 4000 years ahead of their time.
The Pyramid of Cheops now became a great mystical symbol with strange magical powers. It has even been suggested recently that it was built with the help of aliens from outer space. A UFO landed and its occupants taught the Egyptians all their skills.
On a more realistic level, British astronomer Richard Proctor believed that the pyramid was a hut observation room for viewing the stars and calculating the movement of the heavens, Not only are the sides of the pyramid perfectly lined to the tour points the compass, but the passage to the king chamber is precisely in line with it Pole Star. It became, obvious that builders of the pyramid also knew that the World was round. They knew the exact itude of the Earth, the length of the Earth's orbit around the sun, the acceleration of gravity and the speed of light. Another idea is that this shape is a giant clock-its great shadow use for calculations on the sand. The Egyptians could keep a constant record of time and know easily the length each year. In fact the Czech engineer Karel Drbal was so interested in all he heard about the Great Pyramid that he built a small replica of it out of wood. He found a definite relationship between the shape of the space inside the pyramid and the physical, chemical and biological processes going on inside the space. Into his pyramid he
A．nothing
B．it full of treasure
C．the body of the Pharaoh
D．a terrible monster

In spite of a thousand years of history, Cairo is young by Egyptian standards, because modern Cairo emerged only with the Arab conquest of Egypt.
The most famous of Cairo's sights is the string of 60 pyramids that stretches along the western border of the desert. Contrary to the common belief, only the Great Pyramid of Khufu, not all three Great Pyramids, is on the list of Wonders. The monument was built by the Egyptian pharaoh Khufu of the Fourth Dynasty around the year BC 2560 to serve as a tomb when he dies. When it was built, the Great pyramid was 145.75 m high. Over the years, it lost 10 m off its top. It ranked as the tallest structure on Earth for more than 43 centuries. Throughout their history, the pyramids have stimulated human imagination. When Napoleon invaded Egypt in 1798, his pride was expressed through his famous quote:" Soldiers! From the top of these Pyramids ,40 centuries are looking at us."
Cairo has been the most important arts center in the Islamic world for a thousand years. Cairo's long history and rich heritage are revealed in its many museums. The famous sights in this area are the Entomological Society Museum, with an excellent collection of Egyptian insects and birds. Also in the area is the museum housing the mysterious Sun Boat, only discovered in 1954 near the south side of the pyramid. The boat is believed to have been used to carry the body of Khufu in his last journey on earth before being buried inside the pyramid.
This is Cairo—radiant with a long and glorious past; adorned with the achievements of a distinguished present.
This is Cairo — a cradle of civilization, a wellspring of culture, and a meeting-place of the Asian, African, and European World.
This is Cairo-An international center for social economics, and political activity, which is making the noblest efforts aimed at peace among all nations and the benefits of all mankind.
Cairo is______.
A．the largest city in three continents
B．the financial center of the world
C．the' capital of Egypt
D．the youngest city in middle east

Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become, the farther away we move from direct contact with plants, and the less distinct our knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone comes unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose, an apple, or an orchid. When our Neolithic ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10,000 years age, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer yields the next season, the first great step in a new association of plants and humans was taken. Grains were discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture: cultivated crops. From then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varie-ties that grew wild and the accumulated knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience and intimacy with plants in the wild would begin to fade away.
It is assumed in the passage that early humans ______.
A．probably had extensive knowledge of plants
B．thought there was no need to cultivate crops
C．did not enjoy the study of botany
D．placed great importance on the ownership of property

Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things, even for other plants. They have always been enormously important to the welfare of people, not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, dyes, medicines, shelter, and a great many other purposes. Tribes living today in the jungles of the Amazon recognize literally hundreds of plants and know many properties of each. To them, botany, as such, has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of "knowledge" at all.
