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】______. When, after 3,000 B. C., growing warfare among the cities made military leadership【C13】______, the head of the army who became king assumed a (a) 【C14】______ position between the god, whose agent he was, and the priestly class, whom he had both to use and to【C15】______.

【C5】
选项 A、unpredictable
B、unforgivable
C、unlimited
D、unlikely
答案A
解析 考查形容词辨析。空格处填入的形容词与violent并列，说明神的特点。本句句意为：神似乎都极其暴力且______。下文and连接的并列分句是对空格所在分句的解释：人的一生将是任他们摆布和奴役的一生。导致这种结果的特点应该是“捉摸不定的”，因此A．unpredictable为正确答案。unpredictable意为“不可预知的，捉摸不定的”；其他选项unforgivable意为“不可原谅的”；unlimited意为“无限的，不受限制的”；unlikely意为“不太可能的”，均不符合题意。
