问题     All Sumerian cities recognized a number of gods in common, including the sky god, the lord of storms, and the morning and evening star. 【B1】______ the Sumerian worshipped the goddess of fertility, love, and war, she was evidently lower 【B2】______ status than the male gods, indicating that in a more urbanized society the【B3】______that the peoples of previous times had paid to the earth mother goddess had【B4】______. The gods seemed hopelessly violent and【B5】______, and one’ s life a period of slavery at their easy will. The epic poem The Creation emphasizes that【B6】______were created to enable the gods to 【B7】______ up working. Each city moreover had its own god, who was considered to【B8】______the temple literally and who was in theory the owner of all property within the city.
    【B9】______the priests who interpreted the will of the god and controlled the【B10】______of the economic produce of the city were favored【B11】______their supernatural and material functions【B12】______. When, after 3,000 B. C., growing warfare among the cities made military leadership【B13】______, the head of the army who became king assumed a (a) 【B14】______ position between the god, whose agent he was, and the priestly class, whom he had both to use and to【B15】______. Thus king and priests represented the upper class in a hierarchical society.【B16】______them were the scribes, the secular attendants of the temple, who【B17】______every aspect of the city’s economic life and who developed a rough judicial system.【B18】______the temple officials, society was divided among an elite or【B19】______group of large landowners and military leaders; a mixed group of merchants, artisans, and craftsmen, free peasants who【B20】______the majority of the population; and slaves.
【B9】
选项 A、Hence
B、Thereafter
C、Somehow
D、Incidentally
答案A
解析 考查逻辑关系。空格处填入的副词出现在句首，表示空格所在分句与上文的逻辑关系。Hence表示因果关系，意为“因此，所以”；Thereafter表示时间关系，意为“其后，从那时以后”；Somehow意为“由于某种未知的原因，不知怎么地”；Incidentally意为“顺便提一句；偶然地，附带地”。空格上一句提到，神是城邦里所有财产的拥有者。空格所在分句的主干结构是the priestswere favored．the priests后who引导的一个较长的定语从句指出，僧侣诠释神的意志。因此两个分句之间是因果逻辑关系，即，由于神的权力很大，因此诠释神的意志的僧侣受到青睐。A．Hence为正确答案。
