One prblem was that several letters were written with shrt vertical strke that all lked like each ther. Amng them were the letters “i”“u”“v”“m” and “n”.

The scribes slved the prblem in part, by changing the letter “u” t “” when it came befre “m” “n” r “v”. This is hw sum and cum became t be written as sme and cme.
At sme pint t, the scribes seemed t have decided that n English wrd shuld be ended by “u” r “v”. Thus, in time an “e” was added t such wrds as “live” “have” “due” and “true”. It was added, but nt prnunced.

【技法导练】
1. 上下文对照, 捕捉关键词。
解完形填空题时, 单独看一句话是找不到正确答案的, 需要阅读上下句或者若干句才能明白。所谓上下对照, 即在上文和下文中找到与正确答案相同的关键词。因此, 在做题时要提高边读边在大脑中储存上下文信息的能力, 捕捉关键词。
2. 结合生活, 利用常识解题。
某些题的目的是考查学生的生活常识, 看看学生是否善于观察生活, 积累生活常识, 能否利用常识去做恰当的选择。
