A new study found that American middle- school pupils were much more enthusiastic about doing their homework after giving advice on the topic to younger children, as compared with after receiving advice from teachers. This motivational effect lasted weeks, an

42、ore than 3，000 years, thanks to a detailed reconstruction of his vocal tract(声带) from his mummified remains. A team of scientists in England used medical scans of the famous mummy of Nesyamun to create a digital, 3D model of the insides of the individual's throat and mouth, which were reproduced
43、 on a 3D printer. Then the researchers created an artificial larynx(喉头) with a loudspeaker using an electronic waveform. The sound was then played through the speaker into the 3D printed vocal tract to produce a short bust of Nesyamun's voicea sound not heard since the 11th century BC. Previous
44、efforts to reproduce ancient voices could only approximate them, by animating facial reconstructions with software. In comparison, the sound of Nesyamun's voice is based on “an extant(现存 的) vocal tract preserved over 3，000 years， ” the researchers wrote. Nesyamun lived around 1100 BC. He is thou
45、ght to have died in his late 50s from a severe allergic reaction. Almost 3，000 years later, his mummy was discovered at Karnak and transported to the Leeds City Museum in 1823. His remains and ornate coffin(棺材) have since become some of the world's best researched relics of ancient Egypt. “Nesya
46、mun's mummy was a good choice for studying the sound of an ancient voice， ” said David Howard, the lead author of the new research, “It was particularly suited，given its age and preservation of its soft tissues, which is unusual.” He said he hopes the scientific understanding of how human voices
47、 are created can be combined with knowledge of the ancient Egyptian language to reconstruct longer passages of Nesyamun's speech. Before examining the mummy, the researchers had to deal with ethical(道德的) concerns related to examining a person without their consent. They used nondestructive resea
48、rch methods, and took into account words on his coffin, relating that Nesyamun hoped again “to address the gods as he had in his working life.” 10 The researchers interpreted that to indicate his desire to speak again after death. “We are in a way fulfilling his declared wishes， ” Howard said. Howar
49、d and Schofield said they hope a reconstruction of Nesyamun's speech, perhaps reciting an ancient Egyptian prayer, can be featured at the Karnak temple in Egypt for modern tourists. “When visitors encounter the past, it is usually a visual encounter， ” said Schofield. “With this voice, we can change that.” ( )61. The voice of Nesyamun was recreated by _ A. repairing his vocal tract B. bringing Nesyamun back to life C. using some advanced technologies D. combining it with facial movements ( )62.
