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.

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.

选项
A、declined
B、derived
C、acquired
D、descended
答案
D
解析
固定搭配题。根据常识,狗是由经人类驯化的狼进化而来的,由此可知,descend from表示“是……的后代”。符合句意。decline表示“下倾,下降,拒绝,衰落”,不与from搭配;derive from表示“起源于,来自”;acquire from表示“从……取得,获得”。
