Tracing missing persons can take much patient
detective work. But a special kind of "private eye"
can trace the missing ancestors of whole peoples by 【1】______
studying the clues buried by words.
These philologists, such as the language detectives【2】______
are called, have traced the word trail back
from peoples in Europe, India, South Africa, the
Americas, and the Pacific islands in a tiny name- 【3】______
less, and forgotten tribe that roamed central Eurasia
5,000 to 6,000 years ago, before the dawn
of writing history. 【4】______
Since a long time scholars puzzled over the 【5】______
striking difference of words in different languages.【6】______
In Dutch, vader; in Latin, pater; in old Irish,
athir; in Persian, pidar; in the Sanskrit of
distant India, pitr. These words all sounded
likely and meant the same thing--"father". 【7】______
Where did it happen that widely separated 【8】______
peoples used such close related sound symbols. 【9】______
The problem baffled linguists for years. The more
so because "father" was but one of a host of such
coincidences. Towards the end of the 18 century it 【10】______
dawned on scholars that perhaps all these words
stemmed from some common languages.
【M10】
选项
答案
将18改为18th。
解析
在表示“××世纪”,“××岁生日”等,数词要使用序数词,例如:The woman of the l9th century was a masterpiece of sex appeal from the crown of the head to the soles of her feet.Everything about her except her cheeks and nose was a secret.19世纪的女性从头到脚充满了性感——她除了双颊和鼻子外,一切都是神秘的。
