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. [br] 【C6】

答案 more
解析 该句的意思是“1949年至1956年，在昆兰附近又发现了10多个洞穴，还有更多的卷轴，以及成千上万的卷轴碎片”。根据句意及所给单词，and前后属于并列关系，and后为more scrolls，因此and前亦为more caves。故填入more。
