The earliest evidence fr the use f plants as drugs—pssibly fr medicatin r a pick-me-up—may have been fund amid human remains in a 15,000-year-ld cave burial in Nrth Africa.
Accrding t a study published this mnth in Scientific Reprts, researchers discvered ephedra cnes(麻黄果)in an ancient burial site at the Cave f Pigens in nrtheastern Mrcc. Ephedra cnes cntain ephedrine, a pwerful stimulant that speeds up cmmunicatin between the brain and bdy.
Study lead authr Jacb Mrales, an archaebtanist, said the discvery highlights the imprtant rle f plants in Stne At lifeways. And the researchers think they were cnsumed during the burial—suggesting the plant was widely used by the Stne Age peple wh lived nearby at the time.
Tday, ephedrine is knwn fr its ability t ease breathing and is recgnized as a drug that can bth narrw bld vessels(血管)and reduce certain types f bleeding. But the stimulant can als increase bld pressure and heart rate t dangerus levels. Writings frm ancient China shw ephedra plants have been used in traditinal cld remedies(感冒药)fr thusands f years and they are still sld fr that purpse in markets in parts f Africa and Asia.
Mrales says the burial “appears t have held special meaning”, nting that the ancient site als cntained evidence f butchered Barbary sheep and the large birds(bustards). “It is pssible that ephedra was cnsumed alngside these special fds during a ritual feast attended by the grup and that all these items were subsequently buried in the site with the dead.”
“Ephedra is a pwerful plant that can act as a strng stimulant as well as having medicinal prperties. But it is als ptentially dangerus and its use suggests a deep understanding f its effects. It is nw impssible t knw exactly why prehistric peple in Mrcc were cnsuming the plant. But n type f use shuld be ignred, particularly given the cntext f a burial ceremny,” says archaelgist Karen Hardy f the U. K.’ s University f Glasgw.
12．What is paragraph 4 mainly discussing abut ephedrine?
A．The danger.B．The ppularity.C．The traditin.D．The usage.
13．Why are Barbary sheep and bustards mentined in paragraph 5?
A．T reveal the rigin f crucial custm.
B．T indicate the significance f the funeral.
C．T shwcase the lifestyles f ancient times.
D．T illustrate the widespread use f ephedra.
14．What des Karen Hardy imply in the last paragraph?
A．Ephedra was primarily used fr medical purpses.
B．Ancient rituals relied slely n plant-based practices.
C．Stne Age peple understd the effects f the plant well.
D．The burial site prvides clear evidence f medicinal uses.
15．What des the text mainly talk abut?
A．Evidence f ephedra use in Stne Age.
B．The risks and benefits f using ephedrine.
C．Medicinal practices in ancient Nrth Africa.
D．The rle f ritual feasts in prehistric cultures.
