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. [br] 【M7】
选项
答案
将likely改为alike。
解析
likely意为“很可能的”,不作“相同的,相似的”解,故将其改为alike(相同的,相似的),例如;Wit consists in seeing the resemblance between things which differ,and the difference between things which are alike.才智在于分辨出不同事物的相似之处,以及相似事物的不同之处。You are much more likely to get rich from hard work than from a lucky win.靠艰苦的劳动比靠侥幸走运更可能致富。
