Nearly two decades after British writer J. K. Rowling introduced the famous boy wizard Harry Potter to the world in 1997, he is still making the news.

The opening of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park at Universal Studios in Hollywood in Los Angeles, USA, on April 7 brought the boy wizard's magical world to life.

" It's as close as you ever could be to a film in a theme park," Alan Gilmore, an art director for the new Wizarding World of Hairy Potter, told Entertainment Weekly.

From the start, visitors are greeted by a copy of the Hogwarts Express, the train that takes Harry Potter and his friends to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry every year.

After arriving at the school's castle, visitors can jump on the exciting "Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey" ride and take part in memorable scenes from Harry Potter. These scenes include flying above Hogwarts, taking part in a Quidditch match, escaping a dragon attack and avoiding a close meeting with the Whomping Willow(打人柳）.

Walking through the park, visitors can enjoy cobblestone streets, narrow alleyways and buildings with chimneys made to look like those in a real English village. "It's all about making it feel like it's been here a thousand years Gilmore told Variety magazine. "And that includes moss(靑苔)and adding some dirt here and there."

Die-hard fans can also enjoy foods and drinks like chocolate frogs, butter beer and every-flavor beans. And, of course，they can choose their first wands(魔杖). At 11 locations in the theme park, marked with a sign on the ground, visitors can wave their wands and make something magical happen!

24. What does the underlined part " making the news" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. Making up stories. B. Creating a new art form.

C. Causing public disorder D. Catching people’s interest.

25. What was the event that happened in Los Angeles?

A. The building of Hogwarts School.

B. The opening of Harry Potter theme park.

C. The exhibition of J. K. Rowling's works.

D. The screen adaptation of magical novels.

26. What can add to die characteristics of a real English village according to the text?

A. The ruins of historic buildings.

B. Everything looking old and dirty.

C. Things looking ancient and original.

For decades, archaeologists have wondered : Who or what killed the most famous boy king in history? Some experts thought that 19-year-old Tutankhamen had died in a hunting accident. Others said that he was murdered by a blow of the head.

Two years of DNA testing and CT scans may have finally solved the mystery of Tut's death. The teen pharaoh(法老），), scientists in Egypt now believe, was the victim of malaria(疟疾）, complicated by a bone disorder.

Even at his best, King Tut was no symbol of strength. "He was a weak boy who had a deformed foot and who needed a stick to walk," researcher Carsten Pusch told National Geographic.

Shortly before Tut died, in about 1324 B. C. , he may have broken his leg in a fall, the study's authors say. Because of a weak immune system, the pharaoh's leg couldn't heal, and a malarial infection (感染)）finished him off.

Tut was forgotten soon after his death. So why does he attract us today? In 1922, an archaeologist uncovered a group of royal tombs in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings. Thieves had stolen most of the graves.

Egypt fever swept the globe as workers unloaded the dazzling treasures, hidden for more than 3,200 years, which had been meant to accompany the young pharaoh to the afterlife. In 1972, Tut's treasures began a series of tours around the world, giving millions of people a chance to view his golden burial mask and other relics up close.
