15、? Historians and scientists have long believed that ancient Egypts most famous king was probably murdered. But a recent scientific study claims to have found a different answer to this more than 3,300-year-old mystery. A team of researchers now say that King Tut, the boy ruler, died of complications
16、 (并发症) from a broken leg.Tuts full name was Tutankhamun. He was just 9 years old when he became the ruler of Egypt in 1333 BC His treasure-filled tomb was discovered almost a century ago. It was filled with royal riches, including a solid-gold coffin, a gold mask, and piles of jewelry.Unfortunately
17、Tut died at the age of 19. Many experts have thought that Tut was killed by one of his advisers, named Ay, who wanted to be king. But thanks to a major modern science project, it seems Ay is innocent.Researchers set out to solve the mystery of King Tuts death by using the tools of science, including
18、 DNA tests and electronic scans of his mummy (木乃伊). Scientist Carsten Pusch carried out the tests on Tut for the new study. He thinks a broken leg led to the young kings death. More than 100 walking sticks were found in King Tuts tomb. This supports the teams findings. But how could a person die fro
19、m a simple broken leg?Pusch also found DNA evidence in Tuts body that shows he had malaria, a disease carried by mosquitoes. Malaria seriously weakens the immune system (免疫系统).Pusch and his fellow researchers believe the malaria and the bone disease together caused the kings fracture (骨折) to become
20、deadly. Finally, the young king was just too weak to recover. So effects of the disease combined with the bad luck of a broken bone not a jealous adviser are likely the real causes of King Tuts death.8It has long been believed by historians and scientists that _.AKing Tut was the youngest ruler in t

Many people choose backpacking (背着背包徒步旅行) because it

When you are planning a backpacking adventure, the first thing to do in your opinion may be the decision on the places where you will visit. However, it is not the most important thing.

It can make sure that you stay safe on the trip. So you should buy a backpacker travel insurance polic
26、y (保险单) before you leave. Backpacker policies are specially designed to meet your needs, by offering a high level of cover for a long time of travel. You can buy a backpacker policy from one week to two years or longer time. The backpacker insurance policy covers many activities such as swim and ski
27、, and provides protection for these activities. So buying a backpacker travel insurance policy is very important.It is a good idea to compare a few insurance companies before you make a decision. You should always carefully check the backpacker policy and make sure the activities you want to do are
28、all covered by the policy.12The passage can interest the man who _.Aplans to go for a backpacking.Bruns a company selling sports clothes.Cwants to become a tour guide in the future.Dis too busy to have a few days off.13The underlined word “staple” in the second paragraph may mean “_”.Avery reasonabl
