The gods seemed hopelessly violent and 【C5】______, and one’ s life a period of slavery at their easy will. The epic poem The Creation emphasizes that 【C6】______were created to enable the gods to 【C7】______ up working.

【C6】
选项 A、creatures
B、animals
C、men
D、mortals
答案D
解析 考查名词辨析。上文提到，神使人的一生成为任他们摆布和奴役的一生。空格所在分句则从《创世记》找到证据支持上文中的观点，因此该句的内容仍然是关于神和人的关系。空格处应填入表示“人类”的名词。creature意为“生物”，指人时多带有感情色彩，指具有某种特征的人；animals意为“动物”；men是man的复数形式，意为“男人们”，指人类时应用其单数形式man；mortal作形容词时，意为“终将死亡的”；作名词时，意为“凡人，普通人”。因此本题应选D．mortals。
