No species has developed a closer relationship with humanity than the dog, though cat-lovers may disagree. But that relationship’s basis — what it is about dogs that allows them to live【C1】______ with people — is still【C2】______ understood. After all, dogs are【C3】______ from wolves, which are big, scary carnivores that would certainly have【C4】______ with early man for prey, and【C5】______ have been averse to the occasional human as a light snack.
【C6】______ specifically bred for fighting, dogs are more docile than wolves, so that is【C7】______ part of the answer. But mere docility cannot【C8】______ for why people like to have dogs in their homes. Sheep are【C9】______, but few people keep them as pets.

And, as he told the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in Seattle, it does not【C10】______ well on the intelligence of mankind’s closest living【C11】______, the chimpanzee. Dr. Hare’s hypothesis is that dogs are superbly【C12】______ to social cues from people. That【C13】______ them to fit in with human society. On one【C14】______, this might sound common sense. But humans are such【C15】______ animals that they frequently【C16】______ to realize just how unusual are their own【C17】______ at communicating.

选项
A、acknowledge
B、afford
C、allow
D、account
答案
D
解析
词义线索题。account for表示“做出解释,说明”,和下文的why相呼应,故D正确。acknowledge“承认,答谢”和afford“提供,给予”都为及物动词,不能与for搭配;allow可以与for搭配,表示“考虑,顾及”。
