问题 There are many theories about the beginning of drama in ancient Greece. The one most【C1】______accepted today is based on the assumption that drama【C2】______from ritual. The argument for this view goes as follows. In the beginning, human beings viewed the natural forces of the world—even the seasonal changes—as【C3】______, and they sought through various means to control these unknown and feared powers. Those measures which appeared to bring the desired results were then retained and repeated until they hardened into fixed rituals. Eventually stories arose which explained or【C4】______the mysteries of the rites. As time passed some rituals were abandoned, but the stories, later called myths, persisted and【C5】______material for art and drama.
Those who believe that drama evolved out of ritual also argue that those rites contained the seed of theatre because music, dance, masks, and costumes were almost always used. Furthermore, a suitable site had to be provided for performances and when the entire community did not participate, a clear【C6】______was usually made between the "acting area" and the "auditorium". In addition, there were performers, and, since considerable importance was attached to【C7】______mistakes in the enactment of rites, religious leaders usually【C8】______that task. Wearing masks and costumes, they often impersonated other people, animals, or supernatural beings, and mimed the【C9】______effect—success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the revival of the Sun—as an actor might.【C10】______such dramatic representations were separated from religious activities.
A)Instantly B)division C)making D)assumed
E)Eventually F)veiled G)avoiding H)ensuing
I)provided J)evolved K)assigned L)unpredictable
M)desired N)widely O)interpret [br] 【C4】

选项

答案 F

解析此处应填动词的过去式。本句意为“最后产生了能够解释或者这些仪式神秘性的故事”，因为所缺词和explained用or连接，说明该动词和explained为反义词，选项中veiled有“用面纱遮掩，掩盖”的意思，而interpreted“揭示”和explained为近义词，因此选veiled。
