Ⅳ.阅读理解

• 12．About 4，600 years ago，an Egyptian king named Djoser wanted his tomb（坟墓）to be special，so he asked an architect（建筑师）named Imhotep to come up with a new design．Then Imhotep built the world's first pyramid，which is a step pyramid．
     After the Djoser's Step Pyramid，the kings of later times all wanted this kind of tomb．Therefore，there are lots of pyramids in Egypt．
     Building a pyramid was not easy．How the pyramid was built is still a mystery（谜）．The project could easily take 20 years．Therefore，one may guess that Egyptian kings would never try to build more than one．
     However，Sneferu，who was the first king of the 4th dynasty，ruled（统治）Egypt about 40 years．Over 24 years，he built three pyramids．The first one was a step pyramid．Unluckily，it did not last long and started to crumble（破碎）．So Sneferu decided to build a true pyramid．He had a second try．_____ Sneferu didn't like it．He thought that he should try again．The third time was a great success！It became the world's first true pyramid．
     After Sneferu's success，step pyramids went out of fashion，and true pyramids were in！Three of his successors （继承者）-Khufu，Khafra and Menkaura-built three large pyramids in Giza．Those three，without doubt，are the most famous of all pyramids．They have become the symbols of Egypt．Of the three，the Great Pyramid by Khufu is the tallest，and it stands 480 feet high．
