问题     Was the curse of the mummy real? Though the death of Lord Carnarvon seemed mysterious, it was probably more the【C1】 res________of bad hygiene than a curse, says Dr. Robert Prichard, a medical examiner for the state of California.
    "His mosquito bite became【C2】________(infect) from a dirty shaving razor and he developed sepsis, or blood poisoning, " Dr. Prichard believes.
    As for the deaths of the others involved in the opening of King Tutankhamun’s tomb, there is【C3】no________ mysterious there either, researchers say. The British Medical Journal looked at all the evidence concerning forty-four of the people who were associated with the excavation of King Tutankhamun’s tomb. They concluded that,【C4】________ (statistical), no more of those people died than any other population sample.
    Still, research in microbiology suggests that,【C5】 al________there is no mummy’s curse, there may be real health dangers associated with opening tombs like those in the Valley of the Kings. The old tombs were sealed so tightly that the insides may have become anaerobic, meaning that air could not get inside. When this happens, certain bacteria grow in the oxygen-free environment that could not ordinarily survive, and【C6】wh________can be harmful if inhaled. Other types of organisms like molds and fungi could also be【C7】pre________, and some of them can cause serious health problems. For example, the fungus Aspergillus niger can survive in tombs for thousands of years, and can cause fever and body rashes when inhaled. For these reasons, modern archaeologists,【C8】________ (like) those in the 1920s, wear protective filter masks and gloves when entering a tomb for the first time.
    Finally, it has been suggested that the punitive inscription engraved on the entrance to King Tutankhamun’s tomb was an invention of a young British newspaper reporter【C9】________ the name of Doyle, later known as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The real inscription, it is reported, is far less concerned with inflicting punishment【C10】________with protecting the dead.
