Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage.

The method for making beer has changed over time. Hops (啤酒花)，for example, which give many a modem beer its bitter flavor, are a (26)_______ recent addition to the beverage. This was first mentioned in reference to brewing in the ninth century. 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 pots and vessels. The different shapes of the containers (28)_______ they were used to brew, filter, and store beer. 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)_______ that theory, the team examined the yellowish, dried (31)_______ inside the vessels. 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 was domesticated in Western Eurasia and didn&39;t become a (33)_______food in central China until about 2,000 years ago, according to the researchers. Based on that timing, they indicate barley may have (34)_______ in the region not as food, but as (35)_______material for beer brewing.

回答题

Graphics are used in textbooks as part of the language of the discipline, as in math or economics, or as study aids．Authors use graphic aids to （26）and expand on concepts taken up in the text because graphics are yet another way of portraying relationships and （27）connections．

Graphics are used extensively in natural sciences and social sciences．Social scientists work with statistics （28）data, and the best way to present these statistics is often in graphic form．Graphics are included- not merely as a means of making the information easier for the student to grasp, but as an integral part of the way social scientists think．Many textbooks, （29）those in economics, contain

appendixes that provide specific information on reading and working with graphic material．

Make it a practice to （30）attentively the titles, captions, headings, and other material connected with graphics．These elements （31） and usually explain what you are looking at．When you are examining graphics, the （32）questions to ask are (a．)What is this item about？ and (b．)What

key idea is the author （33）？

One warning: Unless you integrate your reading of graphics with the text, you may make a wrong assumption．（34） , from a chart indicating that 33 percent of firstborn children in a research sample did not feel close to their fathers, you might assume that some dreadful influence was at work on the firstborn children．However, a careful reading of the text （35）that most of the firstborn children in the sample were from single-parent homes in which the father was absent．
