The Great Pyramid was built thousands of years ago for a king called Khufu. It stands on the west bank of the Nile River near Cairo. In fact all the pyramids along the Nile are on its west bank. The ancient Egyptians compared the rising of the sun to the beginning of life and the setting of the sun to the end of life. This is why their dead bodies were buried(埋葬) on the west bank of the Nile. The people of Mexico also built pyramids. They did not build the pyramids for tombs. They used to build a pyramid and then a temple on top of it. The pyramids of Mexico are not as high as the pyramids of Egypt, but they are big. Each of the pyramids has a wide stairway that goes from the bottom to the top. But there are not so many people who know that more pyramids were built in America than in Egypt. As a matter of fact, about 90 pyramids are known to have stood in Egypt. while several hundred small pyramids are spread across Central and South America. The biggest pyramid in Mexico is almost 2,000 years old. Scientists think it took 10,000 men more than ten years to build it. On the top they built a temple of the sun. The temple is no longer there but people still called it the Pyramid of the Sun. Near it is another huge pyramid, the Pyramid of the Moon.33. The ancient Egyptian kings had the pyramids built_. A. as the kings tombs B. for kings to live in C. for visitors to see D. for king Khufu34. They built the pyramids on the west bank along the Nile. because the ancient Egyptian people thought_. A. they died in the west B. the sun sets in the west C. they would go to the west after death D. the end of their lives was like the setting of the sun35.

Airport delays(延迟)make people angry and cost the country billions in lost work time. FAA is the government office that oversees(监视)air travel. They studied the problem of airline delays. They found eleven main problems and suggested eleven ways to fix them. Some of the problems are caused because different regions of the country do things differently. The regions dont talk to each other enough. Some of them need new computers. Also, more planes are flying. A strong economy has more people using airplanes to get around. Airplanes are a form of popular transportation now, like trains and buses were in the past. More planes in the airport cause delays. The airport in San Francisco is a good example. It is growing fast. Many people go through San Francisco to get to other places around the world. Ron Wilson of the San Francisco International Airport says, If youve got 18 flights that all want to take off at 8:00 a.m. and youre on the 18th plane in line, youre going to be 40 minutes late. Weather is another main reason for delays. Weather causes about 70% of delays. Fog or freezing rain can cause delays. The first thing the FAA wants to do is take control away from the regions during heavy traffic times and bad weather. A national center would make decisions on things that affect the whole country The FAA also wants to put more distance between planes in the sky when the weather is bad. This rule could cause even more delays. The FAA knows that their findings will not solve the problems with airport delays. But they hope to make things better. There are just too many planes, too few traffic controllers, and not enough new technology.37. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason for airline delays? A. A growing number of flights. B. Bad weather. C . Lack(缺乏)of new technology. D. A growing population.38. FAA found that some of the delay problems are caused by _ between two regions. A. different languages B. technical misunderstanding C. lack of communication D. misunderstanding of the rules39. From the passage we can infer（推断)that_. A. FAA is a national center which controls all the flight matters B. FAA has taken control to solve airport delays C. in San Francisco, each plane will delay about 40 minutes D. safety rules during bad weather may cause more delays40. Which of the statements best gives the idea of the passage? A. FAA should
