26、even in severe weather. If I spoke unhappily, hed say in his loudest father-voice, “Thats what your legs are for!” The walk didnt bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didnt seem concerned about my safety. But

27、that feeling disappeared one spring evening.It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.A row of hedge（树篱）edged the driveway that climbed the hill

28、 to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, mo

29、ving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my fathers head. Then I knew, each time Id come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears.

30、y became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery.

34、(2) (3) (4) (5)C. (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) D. (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)DWhat killed King Tut? 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 solution to this more than 3300-year-old mystery.

35、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 displayed to the world almost a century ago. Tuts tomb was filled with royal riches, including a solid-gold coffin, and a gold mask. It made him one of the best-known Egypt

36、ian kings of all time.But Tut did not have much time to enjoy his vast wealth. The time when he was in power was cut short at the age of 19.

37、 seems that Ay is off the hook.Researchers set out to solve the mystery of King Tuts death by using the tools of science. They began to look into Tuts mummy (木乃伊) by conducting an autopsy (尸体解剖). Scientist Carsten Pusch conducted the tests on Tut for the new study. A scan of Tuts mummy showed that h

38、is leg was broken. 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 sticks were found in King Tuts tomb. This supports the autopsy findings. Many of the sticks were well-worn, showing

39、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 (蚊子). Malaria severely weakens the immune system. Finally, the young ruler was just too weak to recover.32. According to the
