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 studying the clues buried by words. __1__These philologists, such as the language detectives are called, have traced __2__the word trail back from peoples in Europe, India, South Africa, the Americas,and the Pacific islands in a tiny nameless, and forgotten tribe that roamed central __3__Eurasia 5000 to 6000 years ago, before the dawn of writing history. __4__Since a long time scholars have been puzzled over the striking __5__difference of words in different languages. In Dutch, vader; in Latin, pater;in __6__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 peoples used such __8__close related sound symbols？ The problem baffled linguists for years. The more so __9__because “father” was but one of a host of such coincidences. Towards the end of the 18 century it dawned on scholars that perhaps all these words stemmed __10__from some common language.
European in the 15th century have long been known as Indians because 【M2】______
of the belief prevalent at time of Columbus that the Americas were the 【M3】______
outer reaches of the Indies. Most scholars agree that Native Americans
came into the Western Hemisphere from Asia by the Bering Strait in a 【M4】______
series of migrations. From Alaska they spread to the east and south. 【M5】______
Several separate waves of migration are said to count for the many native 【M6】______
linguistic families, while the common origin used to explain the physical 【M7】______
characteristics that Native Americans have in common--Mongoloid
features, coarse, straight, black hair, dark eyes, sparse body hair, and
a skin colour range from yellow-brown to reddish brown. Many scholars 【M8】______
accept evidence of Native American existence in the Americas back more
than 25,000 years. In pre-Columbian times the Native American
population of the area north of Mexico is estimated to be between one and 【M9】______
two million. From prehistoric times until recent historic times there were
roughly about six major cultural areas, excluding that of the Arctic i. e. ,【M10】______
Northwest Coast, Plains, Plateau, Eastern Woodlands, and Southwest.
Information about particular groups can be found in separate articles and in
separate biographies and subject articles.
【M1】
Mobility of this Kind meant also mobility of ideas, their transference across frontiers, and their simultaneous impact upon many groups of people. The point of learning is to share it, whether with students or with colleagues. One presumes that only eccentrics have no interest in being credited with a startling discovery, or a new technique. It must also have been reassuring to know that other people is other parts of the world were about to make the same discovery or were thinking along the same lines, and that one was not quite alone, confronted by inquisition, ridicule or neglect.
In the twentieth century, and particularly in the last 20 years, the old footpaths of the wandering scholars have become vast highways. The vehicle which has made this possible has of course been the aeroplane, making contact between scholars even in the most distant places immediately feasible, and providing for the very rapid transmission of knowledge.
Apart from the vehicle itself, it is fairly easy to identify the main factors which have brought about the recent explosion in academic movement. Some of these are purely quantitative and require no further mention: there are far more centers of learning, and a far greater number of scholars and students.
In addition one must recognize the very considerable multiplication of disciplines, particularly in the sciences, which by widening the total area of advanced studies has produced an enormous number of specialists whose particular interests are precisely defined. These people would work in some isolation if they were not able to keep in touch with similar isolated groups in other countries.
Frequently these specializations lay in areas where very rapid developments are taking place, and also where the research needed for developments is extremely costly and takes a long time. It is precisely in these areas that the advantages of collaboration and sharing of expertise appear most evident. Associated with this is the growth of specialist periodicals, which enable scholars to become aware of what is happening in different centers of research and to meet each other in conferences and symposia(座谈会). From these meetings come the personal relationships which are at the bottom of almost all formalized schemas of cooperation, and provide them with their most satisfactory stimulus.
According to the passage, scholars and students are great travelers because ______.
A．salaries and conditions are better abroad
B．standards are higher at foreign universities
C．they are eager for new knowledge
D．their governments encourage there to travel
