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. The most famous of these are the “Step” pyramid and the “Bent” pyramid.

Some of the pyramids still look as much alike as they must have been 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.The dry climate of Egypt has helped to keep the pyramids in good condition, 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 one is that they were planned to last forever.

The “Step” pyramid had to be on the west side of the Nile, the side on which the sun set. This was for spiritual reasons. It also had to stand well above the level of the river to protect it against the regular floods. It could not be too far from the Nile, however, as the stones to build it needed to be carried in boats down the river to the nearest point. Water transport was , of course, much easier than land transport. The builders also had to find a rock base, which was not likely to crack under the great weight of the pyramid. Finally, it had to be near the capital, or better still, near king’s palace so that he could visit it easily to personally check the progress being made on the final resting place for his body.

63. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the “Step” pyramid?

A. It is unlikely to fall into ruin in the near future.

B. It was built on the sands along the Nile.

C. It is the oldest building on earth.

D. It is the most famous of the true pyramids.

64. The most important reason why some pyramids remain in good condition is that _______.

A. people have taken care of them

B. it doesn’t rain often in Egypt

C. they were well designed

D. the government has protected them from damage

65. Most of the damage to the pyramids has been caused by _______.

A. the regular floods B. the dry climate of Egypt

C. people searching for gold D. people in search of building materials

66. Why did Egyptians build the pyramids along the banks of the Nile?

A. Because they believed in their god.

B. Because it was difficult to find a large rock base far from the Nile.

C. Because the river helped a lot in the transport of building materials.

D. Because it was not easy to choose a suitable place for the pyramids.

阅读下面文字，完成下列各题。

草是怎样一点点绿的

　　①旅居海外时，我住的公寓楼后紧挨着一个无名的小公园，四月份了，却还是一片枯枯的。没有一点颜色。因为到大学去上课，天天从公园穿过，公园使成了我新结识的朋友，它的草地、树丛、山坡、网球场，还有一个小小的植物园，都成为我每天的必经之地，它们一点一滴的变化，都逃不出我的眼睛。
　　②最先让我惊喜的是，有一天清早，我忽然看到公园的草地突然绿了，虽然只是毛茸茸的一层鹅黄色的浅绿，却像事先约好了一样，突然从公园的四面八方一起向我跑来。前一天的夜里刚刚下了一场春雨，如丝似缕的春雨是叫醒它们的信使。
　　③我看着它们一天天变绿，渐渐铺成了茵茵的地毯。蒲公英夹杂在草叶间渐渐冒出了小黄花骨朵。但树都还没有任何动静，还是在风中摇动着枯涩的枝条，任草地上的草旺绿旺绿聚拢着浓郁的人气，真是够沉得住气的。一直快到了“五一”，才见网球场后面的一片桃花探出了粉缸色的小花，没几天，公园边上的一排排梨花也不甘示弱地开出了小白花。然后，看着它们的花蕾一天天绽放饱满，绯红色的云一样，月白色的雾一样，飘落在公园的半空中了。小公园一下子焕然一新，春意盎然起来。
　　④然后，金色的连翘花也开了，紫色的丁香花也开了，每一朵，每一簇，我都能看得出来它们的变化。变化最快的是连翘，昨天才看见枝条上冒出几星小黄花，今天就看见花朵缀满枝条悬泻下满地的金黄。变化最慢的是一种我叫不上名字的树，很高，开出的花米粒一般，很小，总也见它长不大。近处看，几乎看不到它们，远远地望，一片朦胧的玫瑰红，在风中摇曳，如同姑娘头上透明的纱巾。这种树，在大学的图书馆前的甬道旁铺铺展展的一大片，那玫瑰红便显得分外有阵势，仿佛咱们的安塞腰鼓一样腾起遮天蔽日的云雾，映得校园弥漫在玫瑰色的雾霭之中。
　　⑤变化最慢的是树的叶子，几乎所有的花都开了，树的叶子还没有长出来，无论是柳树、梧桐，还是银杏树或是杨树。一直到大学教学楼墙上的爬山虎都绿了，公园里草地间的蒲公英的小黄花都落了，长出伞状的蓬松而毛茸茸的种子，它们才很不情愿地长出了树叶。我看见它们一点点冒出小芽，一天天长大，把满树染绿，在风中摇响飒飒的回声。
　　⑥我知道，这时候才是这里的春天真正地到来了。
　　⑦我忽然想起在北大荒插队的时候，因为那时常常要打夜班脱谷或收大豆、收小麦，在无边的田野上，坐在驮满麦子和豆荚的马车上回生产队的时候，能够看到夜色是怎样退去，鱼肚白是怎样露出在遥远的地平线上，晨曦又是怎样一点点染红天空，最后，太阳是怎样跳上半空中。生平第一次从头到尾看到天是怎样亮的，就是在北大荒。回到北京之后，我再也没有看到这样天亮的全过程了。
　　⑧同样，在北京，我也从来没有看过春天是怎样一步步走来的全过程。也许，不该怪罪我们的城市，也不该怪罪人生的匆忙，是我们自己把自己的眼睛和心磨得粗糙和麻木，在物质至上的社会里，我们顾及的东西太多，便错过了仔细感受春天到来的全过程。只因为清风朗月不用一文钱，便徒让我们感叹良辰美景奈何天了！
