啤酒配方随着时间而改变。例如给许多现代啤酒带来苦味和柑橘味的啤酒花，是相对较晚被添加到啤酒中的成分，在九世纪与酿酒相关的史料中首次被提及。现在，研究人员在5000年前的酿酒制品残留物中发现了惊人的成分。在中国中原地区两个考古坑进行挖掘的期间，科学家们发现了来自 陶罐、漏斗、双耳陶罐和火炉的陶制碎片(火炉碎片如图)。研究人员今天在《国家科学院院刊》网络版中报告称，容器的不同形状表示它们曾被用来酿造、过滤和储存啤酒，它们可能是古代的“啤酒制作工具包”，也是早的有关中国啤酒酿造的直接证据。为了检验这一假设，研究小组检测了容器内暗黄干燥的残留物。其中发现的淀粉颗粒中约有三分之一或凹或胀，或折叠或扭曲，这些变形会在酿造啤酒所需的麦芽处理和麦芽浆制作的过程中发生。科学家们表示，这些谷粒中的大多数，约80%，来自小米和大麦这样的谷类作物，同时10%左右来自块茎植物，包括山药和百合，它们给这些啤酒增添了甜味。研究人员表示，大麦是一个意外的发现：这种农作物在欧亚大陆西部种植，直到大约2000年前才成为中国中部地区的主食。根据这一时间点，研究人员表示大麦当时可能是作为酿造啤酒的原料，而不是一种食物被引入中国中原地区的。
【参考解析】根据题干信息“quit smoking gradually”，定位至文中第五段“But that wasn’t the case. Instead of giving people practice, the gradual reduction likely gave them cravings and withdrawal symptoms before they even reached quit day.”根据原文的定位信息可得知逐步戒烟有可能会更能使人上瘾甚至出现戒断症状。结合四个选项可以确定A They find it even more difficult.为正确选项。
