AA famous paintingMona Lisa BA famous art museumLouvreCA famous artistDa Vinci DThe great KingFrancisBWhat killed King Tut? Historians and scientists have long believed that ancient Egypts most famous kingwas probably murdered. But a recent scientific study claims to have found a different solution to this more than 3,300-year-old mystery.Tuts full name was Tutankhamen. He was just 9 years old when he became ruler of Egypt in 1348 B.C. His treasure-packed tomb was revealed (展现) to the world almost a century ago. Tuts tomb was filled withroyal riches, including a solid-gold coffin, a gold mask, and piles of jewelry.It made him one of the best-known Egyptian kings of all time. But Tut did not have much time to enjoy his vast wealth. His reign (执政) was cut short at the age of 19.Many experts have thought that Tut was killed by one of his advisers, named Ay, who wanted the throne forhimself. Thanks to a major modern science project, it seems that Ayisoff the hook.Researchers set out to solve the mystery of King Tuts death by using the tools of science. They begantheir investigation of Tuts well-preserved mummy by conducting an autopsy (尸体解剖), which is an in-depth medical examination to determine how someone died. The kings autopsy included DNA tests and electronic scans of his remains.Scientist Carsten Pusch conducted the tests on Tut for the new study. A scan of Tuts mummy showed an unhealed fracture (骨折) in his leg bone. He thinks a broken leg contributed to the young kings death. The DNA also indicates that the ruler had an illness that causes bones to go bad, More than 100 walking stickswere found in King Tuts tomb. This supports the autopsy findings Many of the sticks were well-worn,showing regular use. But how could a person die from a simple broken leg? Pusch also found DNA evidence in Tuts remains that indicates he had malaria, a disease carried by mosquitoes. Malaria severely weakens theimmune system. Finally, the young ruler was just too weak to heal.5.

King Tuts mummy murder mystery has been solvedC. historical mysteries should be solved by scienceD. history never put the blame on a good man without solid evidenceCThe Palace Museum, known as the Forbidden City, was theimperial(帝王的) palace of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the early 15thcentury, large-size construction caused 100,000 common people to lead a hard life. The construction took 14 years and was finished in 1420. In the following year, the capital of Ming Dynasty was moved from Nanjing to Beijing. Twenty-four emperors of the Ming and the Qing Dynasties ruled from the Forbidden City. The last dynasty fell in 1911, but Emperor Puyi still lived in the inner court. It was not until 1925 that the complex buildings were changed into a museum. Since then, the Palace has been opened to the public.The Palace Museum isrectangular(长方形的) in shape, about 960 meters long from north to south and 750 meters wide from west to east. There is a 10-meter-high wall, encircled by a 52-meter-widemoat(护城河) . In the Ming Dynasty, the wood needed for the building was brought mostly from Sichuan and Hunan Province, while in the Qing Dynasty, it was cut from the northeast of China. Most of the stones were mined from thesuburban(郊外的) district of Fangshan and other districts. Construction of the Forbidden City brought hardship to the laboring people.The palace is the largest piece of ancient Chinese architecture still standing. Some of the buildings were damaged by lightning and rebuilt in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The palace has been expanded several times, but the original design was kept. After liberation, some costlyrenovations(翻新) were done and the Palace Museum is listed as one of the important historical sites under special preservation by the Chinese government.9.

But it doesnt happen by accident. It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process. _17 Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of color. Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers(肥料).18. However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One of them comes from our earliest years. Recall(回忆)your childhood memories Our model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood. Grandmas rose garden and Dads vegetable garden might be good or bad, but thats not whats important.19-how being in those gardens made us feel. If youd like to build a powerful bond with your garden, start by taking some time to recall the gardens of your youth.20 then go outside and work out a plan to translate your childhood memories into your grown-up garden. Have fun.A. Know why you gardenB. Find a good place for your own gardenC. Its our experience of the garden that mattersD. Its delightful to see so many beautiful flowersE. Still others may simply enjoy being outdoors and close to plantsF. You can produce that kind of magical quality in your own garden, tooG.

Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our 21 , and especially if its given from the22 . When people are talking, theres no need to do anything but23 them. Just take them24 . Listen to what theyre saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than 25 it.One of my patients told me that when she26 to tell her story, people often 27 to tell her that they had once had something just like that happen to her. Subtly her pain became a story about themselves.28 she stopped talking to most people. It was just too29 . We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the30 of attention to ourselves. But when we listen, they know we care.I have ever learned to31 to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the tissues(纸巾) 32 I realized that passing a person a tissue may be just another way to shut them 33 , to take them out of their 34 of sadness and pain. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there35 them.This36 thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been37 since I was very young at school. I thought people listened only because they were too38 to speak or did not know the answer. A loving silence often has far more39 to connect than the most well-intentioned40 .21.Aintroduction Binstruction Cattention Drelaxation22.Ahead Bmemory Cmind Dheart23.Atalk to Blisten to Cobject to Dstick to24.Ain Bup Coff Daway25.Adenying Bremembering Cquestioning Dunderstanding26.Amanaged Btried Choped Dexpected27.Aencouraged Binterrupted Cdiscouraged Durged28.AEventually BImmediately CCompletely DEspecially29.Aimpolite Bmeaningless Clonely Dselfish30.Amiddle Bfocus Ccenter Dchoice31.Arespond Bcompare Clink Dregret32.Aunless Bif Cuntil Dwhen33.Adown Baway Cin Doff34.Aexperiment Bmixture Cjudgment Dexperience35.Awith Bagainst Cfor Damong36.Acomplex Bsimple Ccomplicated Dsingle37.Amentioned Bpublished Ctaught Dproved38.Ashy Bgreedy Cactive Dproud39.Astrength Benergy Cpower Dforce40.Agestures Bpraise Ccriticism Dwords语法填空 A wooden vase from the Ming Dynasty at the entrance of the reception hall 41 (amaze) everyone.
