Question 9 is based on the passage you have just heard.

Passage One

    As some 2,320 miles in length, the Mississippi is the longest river in the Unites States. At some 1,000 miles, the Mackenzie is the longest river in Canada. But these waterways seem minute in comparison to the world’s two longest rivers—the Nile and the Amazon.

    The Nile, which begins in central Africa and flows over 4,100 miles north into the Mediterranean, hosted one of the world’s great ancient civilizations along its shores. Calm and peaceful for most of the year, the Nile used to flood annually, thereby creating, irrigating and carrying new topsoil to the nearby farmland on which Egypt depended for livelihood. As a means of transportation, the river carried various vessels up and down its length. (9) A journey through the unobstructed part of this waterway today would pass by the splendid Valley of the Kings, where the tombs of many of these ancient monarchs have stood for over 3,000 years.

    (10) Great civilizations and intensive settlement are hardly associated with the Amazon, (11) yet this 4,000-mile-long South American river carries about 20% of the world’s fresh water—more than the Mississippi, Nile and Yangtze combined. Other statistics are equally astonishing. The Amazon is so wide at some points that from its center neither shore can be seen. Each second, the Amazon pours some 55 million gallons of water into the Atlantic; there, at its mouth, stands one island larger than Switzerland. Most important of all, the Amazon irrigates the largest tropical rain forest on Earth.

9. What can be found in the Valley of the Kings?

解析：C。本题目为细节题。问题为：在帝王谷里可以找到什么？根据原文可知，如今只要穿过这条畅通无阻的水道，就会经过壮丽的帝王谷，在那里，许多古代帝王的陵墓已经矗立了3000多年。故正确答案为C。
