The development of writing was one of the great human inventions. It is difficult 【C1】______ many people to imagine language without writing; the spoken word seems intricately tied to the written 【C2】______ . But children speak 【C3】______ they learn to write. And millions of people in the world speak languages with 【C4】______ written form. Among these people oral literature abounds, and crucial knowledge 【C5】______ memorized and passed 【C6】______ generations. But human memory is short-lived, and the brain’s storage capacity is finite. 【C7】______ overcame such problems and allowed communication across the miles 【C8】______ through the years and centuries. Writing permits a society 【C9】______ permanently record its poetry, its history and its technology.
It might be argued 【C10】______ today we have electronic means of recording sound and 【C11】______ to produce films and television, and thus writing is becoming obsolete. 【C12】______ writing became extinct, there would be no knowledge of electronics 【C13】______ TV technicians to study; there would be, in fact, little technology in years to 【C14】______ . There would be no film or TV scripts, no literature, no books, no mail, no newspapers, no science. There would be 【C15】______ advantages: no bad novels, junk mail, poison-pen letters, or "unreadable" income-tax forms, but the losses would outweigh the 【C16】______ .
There are almost as 【C17】______ legends and stories on the invention of writing as there are 【C18】______ the origin of language. Legend has it that Cadmus, Prince of Phoenicia and founder of the city of Thebes, 【C19】______ the alphabet and brought it with him to Greece. In one Chinese fable the four eyed dragon-god T’ sang Chien invented writing. In (70)
myths, the Babylonian god Nebo and the Egyptian god Nebo gave humans writing as well as speech.
【C17】______
选项
答案
many
解析
该句是A is as …as B(is)的比较句型结构,两个as之间肯定是一个形容词。主语legends and stories是名词复数。而且根据普通常识,人世间常有许多传说故事。所以,填写many符合题意。
