10、e marigold is brown,and it is not easy to get the white one.So after they were excited for a time,many people had forgotten the announcement.One normal day after 20 years,the college received a letter and 100 seeds of pure white marigold.It was an old woman of over 70 years old.Some experts in the c

11、ollege doubted it,but in order not to let her down,those seeds finally took root(根) in the earth.The miracle appeared after one year;the field was covered by pure white marigold.Therefore,the old woman who was always unknown to the public became a new focus.The old woman was a flower-lover.When she

12、read the announcement 20 years ago,she got very excited like others.But her eight children were totally against her decision.After all,a woman who never knew the seed genetics(遺傳學(xué)) couldnt complete what the experts could never do,so her thought was only a day dream.Still,the old woman didnt change h

13、er mind and went on working.She planted some of the most common seeds and took good care of them.A year later,when the marigold came out,she chose one faintest(最暗淡的) from those golden and brown flowers and got the best seed.The next year,she again grew them and chose.Day after day,year after year,th

14、rough many seasons,the old womans husband died,her children flew far,and a lot of things happened in her life,but only the wish to grow the pure white marigold took root in her heart.Finally,after 20 years on the day we all know,in the garden she saw a marigold,which was nearly white,but as white as

15、 silver or snow.A problem even experts couldnt deal with was solved by an old woman who didnt understand genetics.Was it a miracle(奇跡)?To take root in the heart,even the most common seed,can grow into a miracle!21.According to the passage,the marigold is unusual.A.whiteB.purpleC.brownD.golden22.It c

18、pment of marigoldD.the importance of holding on to dreamsBTo us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains,but actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain.Its first use was as a shade against the sun! Nobody knows who first invented it,but

19、 the umbrella was used in very ancient times.Probably the first to use it were the Chinese in the eleventh century BCE.We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade.And there was a strange thing connected with its use:it became a symbol of honour.In the Far East in an

20、cient times,the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office.In Europe,the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade.And the umbrella was commonly used in ancient Greece.But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the ra

21、in were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages,the use of the umbrella practically disappeared.Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century.And again it was considered as a symbol of power.By 1680,the umbrella appeared in France and later in England.By the eighteenth century,the

22、umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe.Umbrellas did not change much in style during all this time,though they became much lighter in weight.It wasnt until the twentieth century that womens umbrellas began to be made in a whole variety of colours.25.According to this passage,the um

25、er 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.Tuts full name was Tutankhamun.He was just 9 years old when he became the ruler of Egypt.His treasure-filled tomb was discovered almost a century ago.It

26、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

27、.Researchers set out to solve the mystery of King Tuts death by using the tools of science,including DNA tests and electronic scans of his mummy(木乃伊).Scientist Carsten Pusch conducted the tests on Tut for the new study.He thinks a broken leg contributed to the young kings death.More than 100 walking

28、 sticks were found in King Tuts tomb.This supports the teams findings.But how could a person die from a simple broken leg?Pusch also found DNA evidence in Tuts body that indicates he had malaria(瘧疾),a disease carried by mosquitoes.Malaria severely weakens the immune system.Pusch and his fellow resea

29、rchers believe the malaria and the bone disease together caused the kings 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 bonenot a jealous adviserare likely the real causes of King Tuts death.28.It ha
