An ancient Egyptian mummy thought to be that of Pharaoh RamsesⅠ has returned home after more than 140 years in North American museums. The body was carried off the plane in Cairo in a box draped in Egypt’s flag.

The Michael Carlos Museum gave it back after tests showed it was probably that of the man who ruled 3 000 years ago. The US museum acquired(得到) it three years ago from a Canadian museum, which in turn is thought to have bought it from Egyptian grave robbers in 1860. The mummy was welcomed back home with songs and military band music during a ceremony at the national museum in Cairo.

Zahi Hawass, head of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities(文物最高委员会), traveled from the US with the body and said it would be moved the next year to the Luxor Museum in southern Egypt. “We are not 100% sure that the mummy is that of Ramses Ⅰ, ”said Mr. Hawass“But we are 100% sure that it is of a king. ”

Atlanta’s Michael Carlos Museum acquired the mummy in 1999, but offered to return it after hi-tech scanning(扫描) equipment indicated it was likely to be that of RamsesⅠ. The museum website said it had been acquired from the Niagara Falls Museum. It is thought a Canadian collector bought the mummy for the Niagara Falls Museum around 1860 from an Egyptian family which had stumbled on(偶然发现) a tomb filled with royal mummies at a site near Luxor.

Mr. Hawass praised the handover(移交) as “a great, civilized gesture”. And he appealed(呼吁) to other world museums to return Egypt’s antiquities, particularly the Rosetta Stone in the British Museum and the Bust of Nefertiti in the Berlin Museum.

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　Most offences (犯罪行为), particularly break - ins, assaults (袭击) and hit - and - run car incidents leave traces such as broken glass, blood, fibres or hairs. All these can be left at the scene of offences, moved to a victim (受害者), carried away by the offender or exchanged when cars knock into each other. Legal medical experts are taught during their training that “every contact leaves a trace,” meaning that the criminal leaves something at the scene of crime. The first stage of any investigation, therefore, is careful examination of the scene and the collection of anything useful found there.

　　Today's well - equipped lab can help the police use everything they find in their investigation. Taking finger - prints, for example, is still one of the most well - known methods used by the police. However, this matching of fingerprints has been revolutionized by computers. A larger number of fingerprints can now be studied withina much shorter time. The use of various types of radiation makes it possible that even fingerprints left on human skin can now be recognized.

　　The smallest bit of a man's skin, hair or blood left at the scene of a crime can also be matched to an offender with certainty by using a technique called DNA profiling or finger printing. DNA is a substance present in every cell of the body; and everyone (except twins ) has a special DNA profile. A certain DNA profile can be studied and compared with the DNA profile such as blood, found at the scene of a crime. Careful study of traces left at the scene of a crime is now possible with the electronic microscope. In theory, there are limits to the use of science in law cases. This is encouraging because the forensic pathologists (法医病理学家) say that the most powerful deterrent (威慑) to crimes is not so much the fear of punishment as the certainty of discovery.

C．it's easy to find the DNA profile at the scene of crime
