The process leaves behind chemical and structural qualities that researchers can use to identify the principal food. And thats just _63_ archaeologists found when they investigated a 14,000-year-old site known as Shubayqa 1 in Jordans Black Desert. The inhabitants, who were hunter-gatherers, left their home in a hurry, _64_ the contents of their most recent meal still smoldering (焖) in two sunken fireplaces. With the help of a scanning electron microscope, which _65_ (use) a beam (束) of electrons to return incredibly complicated zoomed-in images, the researchers _66_ (identify) 24 pieces of char (炭) that were decidedly breadlike. Though the breads exact grain remains unknown, _67_ (it) cellular structure resembles grain species. The find is the _68_ (old) example of bread yet discovered and predates the arrival of agriculture in the region by some 4,000 years. The discovery, _69_ could help researchers better understand how ancient cultures met their nutritional needs, suggests _70_ (know) how to grow grains isnt essential to making bread from them.参考答案：6
