问题 名词解释

胜梅亭窑

答案

参考答案:

胜梅亭窑又叫杨梅亭窑,是景德镇的一处五代瓷窑。窑址在景德镇湖田进南山二公里处的胜梅亭村,是目前所发现的南方地区烧造白瓷的最早窑址之一。

胜梅亭窑烧造青瓷和白瓷。青瓷釉色偏灰,其显亮部分,微带绿色。白釉色调纯正,洁白度达到70度。器型有壶、盆、水盂、盘、碗等,造型与五代墓出土的白瓷相同。青瓷、白瓷都用支烧方法,碗的外底及碗心均有支烧痕。

胜梅亭窑和这里的石虎湾窑、黄泥头窑白瓷烧造的成功,对于景德镇地区宋代青白瓷的制作,以及元、明、清时期瓷业的发展,有极为重要的作用。

入宋以后,胜梅亭窑仍继续烧长期造,但已改烧青白瓷。

阅读理解

Not all memories (记忆)are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Wars and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and mental scars. Often they appear again in dreams.

Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill(药丸), which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce(减少), or possibly erase(抹去) the effect of sad memories.

In November, some scientists tested a drug(药) on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body producing chemicals(化学品) that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the mental effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.

The research has caused plenty of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.

Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.

“Some memories can destroy(破坏) people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a dream. They usually come with very sad feeling.” said Roger Pitman, a scientist of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve(减轻) a lot of that suffering.”

But those who are against the research say that it is very dangerous to change memories because memories give us our identity(特质). They also help us all get away from the mistakes of the past.

“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are. I’m not sure we want to erase those memories,” said Rebecca Dresser.
