What killed King Tut？Historians and scientists have long believed that ancient Egypt's 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 （并發(fā)癥） from a broken leg.
   Tut's 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 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 Tut's death by using the tools of science，including 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 king's death.More than 100 walking sticks were found in King Tut's tomb.This supports the team's findings.But how could a person die from a simple broken leg？
   Pusch also found DNA evidence in Tut's body that shows he had malaria，a disease carried by mosquitoes.Malaria seriously weakens the immune system（免疫系統(tǒng)）.
   Pusch and his fellow researchers believe the malaria and the bone disease together caused the king's fracture（骨折）to become 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 Tut's death.

2．Archaeologists （考古學(xué)家） may have found the location of an ancient Greek city，Kane.For more than 400 years，what happened to Kane has confused experts.The city，mentioned in many ancient texts，was on one of a group of three islands in the Aegean Sea.These islands were all located off the coast of modern-day Turkey.Two of the islands，now known as the Garip Islands，are still there.
   However，the third island，an important stopping point on ancient trade routes，no longer appeared on maps made after the 16th century.No one knew why.
   Geo-archaeologists have helped solve the mystery.They said that the island didn't disappear.New evidence suggests that this former island is a mainland peninsula （半島） now.That's almost completely surrounded by water.
   How did the island turn into a peninsula？At one time，a channel between two areas of land separated the island and the mainland. "The original channel was blocked out，" said Felix Pirson，the leader of the study.That means the space between the island and the mainland was filled with materials carried by running water.
   Instead of finding solid ground，the geo-archaeologists discovered loose soil and rock.For scientists，this suggests that the land there was formed recently，perhaps because of the earthquakes.
   The scientists are looking forward to doing further testing.They hope to figure out exactly when the land bridge between the mainland and the island formed.They said that this could provide them with more information about the area during ancient times. "The aim is to reconstruct the ancient environment to understand history，"said Felix Pirson.

（1）What are experts confused at？

A．The fate of Kane.
B．The location of Kane.
C．The discovery of Kane.
D．The features of the Garip Islands.
（2）What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us？

A．How the peninsula was formed.
B．When the island was formed.
C．Where the island lies at present.
D．Why the island can't be seen now.
（3）Which of the following do the scientists agree with？

A．Disasters often happened in Kane.
B．It's important to build a city like Kane.
C．Kane is mainly made up of solid ground.
D．Kane's soil may be formed due to earthquakes.
（4）What is the scientists' aim of doing the research according to Felix Pirson？

A．To protect the environment.
B．To know more about history.
C．To reconstruct the ancient city.
D．To build a land bridge between the islands.
