问题     All Sumerian cities recognized a number of gods in common, including the sky god, the lord of storms, and the morning and evening star. 【C1】______the Sumerian worshipped the goddess of fertility, love, and war, she was evidently lower 【C2】______status than the male gods, indicating that in a more urbanized society the 【C3】______that the peoples of previous times had paid to the earth mother goddess had【C4】______. 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. Each city moreover had its own god, who was considered to【C8】______the temple literally and who was in theory the owner of all property within the city.
    【C9】______the priests who interpreted the will of the god and controlled the【C10】______of the economic produce of the city were favored【C11】______ their supernatural and material functions【C12】______.

【C3】
选项 A、worship
B、reverence
C、admiration
D、gratitude
答案B
解析 考查名词辨析。空格所在部分为分词结构，作状语，即indicating that…。其中that引导宾语从句，空格处填入的名词为从句的主语。该名词后又跟有that引导的定语从句：that the peoples…goddess。将空格处的名词，即that代替的先行词放回定语从句，其完整结构是：the peoples of previous times had paid ______ to the earth mother goddess。四个选项为近义词，worship意为“崇拜，敬仰”；reverence意为“尊敬，崇敬”；admiration意为“钦佩，赞赏，羡慕”；gratitude意为“感谢”。从含义上看，人类对神应该是“崇拜”或“崇敬”，因此worship和reverence比较恰当。其次，句中的搭配是pay sth．to sb．，表示“付出某事物给某人”。常用于这种搭配的是reverence及其同义词respect，pay reverence／respect to意为“尊敬，向…致敬”。因此本题应选B．reverence。
