问题    In the spring of 1947 some young Bedouins were busy looking for a lost goat along some cliffs 【C1】______ (overlook)the Dead Sea in modern Israel when they found a cave containing jars filled with manuscripts. They did not realize that they had just made one of the most amazing discoveries of the century. Only in 1948 【C2】______ the academic world realize what had happened: the manuscripts changed hands between dealers a few times before they finally ended 【C3】______in the hands of American and European scholars who must have been astonished by 【C4】______they saw.
   A year later the site of the find was identified as the cave now 【C5】______(know) as Qumran Cave 1. Further searches of Cave 1 revealed archaeological finds and more manuscript fragments, which in turn showed that the scrolls must be ancient and authentic. Between 1949 and 1956, ten 【C6】______ (much)caves were discovered around Qumran, and still more scrolls, as well as thousands of fragments of scrolls— scholars could hardly believe their luck. There were probably something like 800 manuscripts dating from approximately 200 BCE to 68 CE originally in the caves. Although scholars cannot know for sure who wrote the manuscripts, it is widely believed that the authors were connected to Jewish priests and were most likely not on【C7】fri______ terms with the priests of Jerusalem. They must have belonged to a 【C8】______(religion) Jewish community because the manuscripts are all references to the Old Testament, Jewish hymns, prayers and 【C9】______(write)of the patriarchs.
   The Qumran library is highly 【C10】______ (inform). These texts have increased our understanding of a particular historical moment in time, and they will most likely continue to be the object of close study for many years to come.
【C9】
选项
答案writings
解析 该句的意思是“因为这些手稿都参考了《旧约全书》、犹太圣歌、祈文和宗主教的著作”。根据句意及所给单词，and前均为名词与空缺处并列，因此空缺处为名词，write“写，写作”的名词形式为writing，of后the patriarchs为复数修饰writing，故writing要用复数形式writings。故填入writings。
