PART 4: READING (2.0 PTS.)
Read the following passage and write the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the following questions.
        One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Great Pyramid of Giza was a monument
of wisdom and prophecy built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 B.C. Despite its antiquity,
certain aspects of its construction make it one of the truly great wonders of the world. The thirteen-
acre structure near the Nile River is a solid mass of stone blocks covered with limestone. Inside are
a number of hidden passageways and the burial chamber for the Pharaoh. It is the largest single
structure in the world. The four sides of the pyramid are aligned almost exactly on true north, south,
east, and west – an incredible engineering feat. The ancient Egyptians were sun worshipers and
great astronomers, so computations for the Great Pyramid were based on astronomical observations.
Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many intersecting lines.
Further scientific study indicates that these represent a type of timeline of events – past, present,
and future. Many of the events have been interpreted and found to coincide with known facts of the
past. Others are prophesied for future generations and are currently under investigation. Many
believe that pyramids have supernatural powers, and this one is no exception. Some researchers
even associate it with extraterrestrial beings of the ancient past. Was this superstructure made by
ordinary beings, or one built by a race far superior to any known today?

        A. crossing             B. aligning                  C. observing                      D. cutting
    2. What do the intersecting lines in the base represent?
        A. Architects' plans for the hidden passages.
        B. Pathways of the great solar bodies.
        C. Astrological computations.
        D. Dates of important events taking place throughout time.
    3. Extraterrestrial beings are __________.
        A. very strong workers                               B. astronomer in the ancient times
        C. researchers in Egyptology                         D. living beings from other planets
    4. What is the best title for the passage?
        A. Symbolism of the Great Pyramid

        C. Wonders of the Great Pyramid of Giza
