问题     A major mason for conflict in the animal world is territory. The male animal【C1】______an area. The size of the area is sufficient to provide food for him, his【C2】______and their offspring. Migrating birds, for example,【C3】______up the best territory in the order of "first come, first【C4】______". The late arrivals may acquire【C5】______ territories, but【C6】______food is available, or they are too close to the【C7】______of the enemies of the species.
    When there is conflict over territory, animals will commonly use force, or a【C8】______of force, to decide which will stay and which will go. It is interesting to note,【C9】______, that animals seem to use only the【C10】______ amount of force necessary to drive away the intruder. There is usually no killing. In the【C11】______of those animals which are capable【C12】______doing each other harm, there is a【C13】______for the losing animal to show the winning animal that he wishes to submit.

However, two pigeons are placed in a cage, and they start if fighting, they will continue to fight【C18】______one kills the other. We all think of the pigeon as a【C19】______of peace and, in its natural habitat, it is peaceful. But the "peace" mechanism does not【C20】______in a cage. [br] 【C17】
选项 A、submission
B、fighting
C、stopping
D、winning
答案 A
解析 此题为词语辨析题。其实解答此题并不难，前文指出there is a system for me losing animal to show the winning animal that he wishes to submit。又由于这两段的意思是相对的，system 和 mechanism 是近义词，所以这里只需选出和submit 相关的词汇既可。submission 是其名词词性, 是“屈服，投降”的意思。原文此处的意思：同样也没有表示屈服的方式。
