   Scientists say they have found rare evidence of a prehistoric massacre in Europe after discovering a 7,000-year-old mass grave with skeletal remains from some of the continent’s first farmers bearing terrible wounds.
   Archaeologists who painstakingly examined the bones of some 26 men, women and children【C1】______in the Stone Age grave site at Schoeneck-Kilianstaedten say they found blunt force marks to the head, arrow wounds and deliberate efforts to smash at least half of the victims’ shins — either to stop them from running away or as a【C2】______ message to survivors.
   "It was either torture or mutilation. We can’t say for sure whether the victims were still alive," said Christian Meyer, one of the authors of the study【C3】______ Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
   Meyer said the findings from Schoeneck-Kilianstaedten【C4】______ theories put forward after the earlier discovery of two other grave sites in Germany and Austria. At all three sites, the victims and the perpetrators 【C5】______ to have been from the Linearbandkeramik — or LBK — culture, a farming people who arrived in central Europe about 5,500 B.C. Their name【C6】______ from the German phrase for "linear band ceramics," a reference to the style of their pottery.
   【C7】______, the sites have all been dated toward the end of the LBK’s 600-year presence, suggesting that members of this culture may have【C8】______ on each other.
   "It’s about finding patterns. One mass grave was spectacular, but it was just a single grave. But when several such sites are found from the same period, then a pattern【C9】______," said Meyer.
   In their article, the authors suggested that "the new evidence in【C10】______ with previous results, indicates that massacres of entire communities were not isolated occurrences but rather were frequent features of the last phases of the LBK." [br] 【C2】
选项
答案 J
解析 (grim)从句法功能判断，该空格需要填入名词修饰语，很可能是形容词。依据上文对受害人的描述(blunt force marks to the head，arrow wounds and deliberate efforts to smash at least half of the victims’shins)，以及与grimy的意义辨析，应选择grim。grim表示“严峻的”，例如：When he lost his job，his future looked grim．grimy表示“沾满污垢的”，例如：The whole town was grimy from smoke and coal-dust．
