A、worship
B、reverence
C、admiration
D、gratitude
答案
B
解析
本题考查名词词义辨析。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。选项中四个名词为近义词,worship(祟拜,敬仰);reverence(尊敬,崇敬);admiration(钦佩,赞赏,羡慕);gratitude(感谢)。从含义上看,人类对神应该是"崇拜"或"崇敬",因此A和B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"。
