25、t was finished.”可知，亚历山大灯塔于公元前300年建成；再由第三段中的 “In 1326, it finally fell into the sea.”可知，它大约存在了1600年。6B代词指代题。联系前一句 “At the top of the lighthouse stood a large statue of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea.”可知，此处it指的是波塞冬雕像。7C主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了埃及亚历山大灯塔的一些基本信息。.七选五Obstacles(绊脚石) That Lie on the Way to S
