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.

选项
A、at present
B、at difference
C、at ease
D、at distance
答案
C
解析
词义线索题。at ease表示“舒适,安逸”,to live at ease在文中表示“融洽相处”,和前文的“(人与狗的)关系更亲密”相对应,故C为正确选项。at present表示“现在,目前”;difference不与at搭配;at a distance相当于in the distance表示“在远处”。
