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.

【C4】
选项 A、vanished
B、recovered
C、declined
D、attained
答案C
解析 考查动词辨析。vanish意为“消失”；recover意为“恢复，复原”；decline意为“减少，下降，衰弱”；attain意为“达到，获得”，由上文可知，苏美尔人崇拜女神，但她的地位低于男性的神。可见，这种崇拜已经减少。因此C．declined为正确答案。
