were climbing a high mountain in Italy.Suddenly they 1 a man’s body preserved in ice high in the deep
of the mountain.When they 2 they told their families and friends
about the 3 body.It spread rapidly in 4 ,and some scientists began to 5 it.They determined that the 6 body was at least 5,300 years old.They
even gave the “iceman” a cool
nickname,“Otzi”, 7 the region where he was found.
8 ,it looked as if Otzi had frozen to death in a snowstorm in
the Alps.Researchers now believe the iceman was 9
.The scientists say Otzi was shot in the
back with arrow and then died, 10 after fighting with his murderer or
murderers.
How did scientists 11 their conclusion?First,the scientists
took DNA 12 from the iceman.
Then they
compared the DNA 13 the traces of blood found on Otzi’s clothing and weapons.The tests
showed that the blood came from four other humans.
The results of 14 tests showed a stone arrowhead buried in
his left shoulder,meaning Otzi 15
foul play(暗算) by someone.And Otzi’s hands,ribs,and wrists were hurt and there were some 16 and bruises(擦伤),which
he might have 17 from as he tried to resist the attack
from his enemy or enemies.“He was in an intensely
fighting 18 for between 24 to 48 hours 19 he died,”said
