问题 The 19th-century scholars tried to ______ the origins of modern languages to ancient Hebrew.

选项 A、tracing
B、tracking
C、strolling
D、stumbling

答案A

解析 动词辨义。trace意为“追踪,查清”,指追踪历史进程中的某个阶段,如:The police traced the criminal.(警察追捕到罪犯。)track意为“追踪,查明,追捕(到)”,通常指由通过的某物留下的一个记号或一系列记号来追踪,如:All citizens should help the police in tracking the criminals down.(所有公民都应该协助警察追捕罪犯。)stroll意为“散布,闲逛”,如:My friend likes to stroll around the flea market on the chance of picking up something of value.(我的朋友爱逛旧货市场,希望能找到点有价值的东西。)stumble意为“绊倒”,如:He stumbled along the road.(他在路上绊倒了。)本句中是追踪现在语言的起源,为抽象意义的追踪,应该用trace,而不用track。
