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.

选项
答案friendly
解析 该句的意思是“尽管学者们无法确定这些手稿的作者是谁，但人们普遍认为，作者与犹太牧师有联系，而且很可能与耶路撒冷的牧师关系不太友好”。根据句意及所给单词的前三个字母，空缺处缺少形容词修饰terms，句中and后有not修饰，表明手稿作者与耶路撒冷的牧师的关系不好，结合所给单词前三个字母fri，联想到friendly“友好的”。故填入friendly。
