Now, researchers have found a (27)_ingredient in residue (残留物） from 5,000-year-old beer brewing equipment. While digging two pits at a site in the central plains of China, scientists discovered fragments from

They may be ancient “beer-making tools,” and the earliest (29_ evidence of beer brewing in China, the researchers reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. To (30)_ t

The majority of the grains, about 80%, were from cereal crops like barley (大麦 ),and about 10% were bits of roots, (32)_lily,which would have made the beer sweeter, the scientists say. Barley was an unexpected find: the crop

31、er Sheet 2. The Blessing and Curse of the People Who Never Forget A handful of people can recall almost every day of their lives in enormous detailand after years of research, neuroscientists (神经科学专家 ) are finally beginning to understand how they do it. A For most of us, memory is a mess of blurred
32、and faded pictures of our lives. As much as we would like to cling on to our past, even the saddest moments can be washed away with time. B Ask Nima Veiseh what he was doing for any day in the past 15 years, however, and he will give you the details of the weather, what he was wearing, or even what
33、side of the train he was sitting on his journey to work. “My memory is like a library of video tapes, walk-throughs of every day of my life from waking to sleeping,” he explains. C Veiseh can even put a date on when those tapes started recording: 15 December 2000, when he met his first girlfriend at
34、 his best friends 16th birthday party. He had always had a good memory, but the thrill of young love seems to have shifted a gear in his mind: from now on, he would start recording his whole life in detail. “I could tell you everything about every day after that.” D Needless to say, people like Veis
35、eh are of great interest to neuroscientists hoping to understand the way the brain records our lives. A couple of recent papers have finally opened a window on these peoples extraordinary minds. And such research might even suggest ways for us all to relive our past with greater clarity. E “Highly s
36、uperior autobiographical memory”（ or HSAM for short) first came to light in the early 2000s, with a young woman named Jill Price. Emailing the neuroscientist and memory researcher Jim McGaugh one day, she claimed that she could recall every day of her life since the age of 12. Could he help explain
37、her experiences? F McGaugh invited her to his lab, and began to test her: he would give her a date and ask her to tell him about the world events on that day. True to her word, she was correct almost every time. 2017 年 6 月大学英语四级 CET4 卷一真题试题 (完整版 ) 第 8 页 共 60 页 G It didnt take long for magazines and
38、documentary film-makers to come to understand her “total recall”， and thank to the subsequent media interest, a few dozen other subjects (including Veiseh) have since come forward and contacted the team at the University of California, Irvine. H Interestingly, their memories are highly self-centred:
39、 although they can remember “autobiographical” life events in extraordinary detail, they seem to be no better than average at recalling impersonal information, such as random (任意选取的 ）lists of words. Nor are they necessarily better at remembering a round of drinks, say. And although their memories ar
40、e vast, they are still likely to suffer from “false memories”.Clearly, there is no such thing as a “perfect” memorytheir extraordinary minds are still using the same flawed tools that the rest of us rely on. The question is, how? I Lawrence Patihis at the University of Southern Mississippi recently
41、studied around 20 people with HSAM and found that they scored particularly high on two measures: fantasy proneness ( 倾 向 )and absorption. Fantasy proneness could be considered a tendency to imagine and daydream, whereas absorption is the tendency to allow your mind to become fully absorbed in an act
42、ivity to pay complete attention to the sensations (感受 )and the experiences. “Im extremely sensitive to sounds, smells and visual detail,” explains Nicole Donohue, who has taken part in many of these studies. “I definitely feel things more strongly than the average person.” J The absorption helps the
43、m to establish strong foundations for recollection, says Patihis, and the fantasy proneness means that they revisit those memories again and again in the coming weeks and months. Each time this initial memory trace is “replayed”, it becomes even stronger. In some ways, you probably go through that p
44、rocess after a big event like your wedding day,but the difference is that thanks to their other psychological tendencies, the HSAM subjects are doing it day in, day out, for the whole of their lives. K Not everyone with a tendency to fantasise will develop HSAM, though, so Patihis suggests that some
45、thing must have caused them to think so much about their past. “Maybe some experience in their childhood meant that they became obsessed (着迷 ）with calendars and what happened to them,”says Patihis. L The people with HSAM Ive interviewed would certainly agree that it can be a mixed blessing. On the p
46、lus side, it allows you to relive the most transformative and enriching experiences. Veiseh, for instance, travelled a lot in his youth. In his spare time,he visited the local art galleries, and the paintings are now lodged deep in his 2017 年 6 月大学英语四级 CET4 卷一真题试题 (完整版 ) 第 9 页 共 60 页 autobiographica
47、l memories. M “Imagine being able to remember every painting, on every wall, in every gallery space, between nearly 40 countries， ” he says. “Thats a big education in art by itself.” With this comprehensive knowledge of the history of art, he has since become a professional painter. N Donohue, now a history teacher, agrees that it helped during certain parts o
