Our ape-men forefathers had no obvious natural weapons in the struggle for survival in the open. They had neither the【C1】________teeth nor the strong claws of the big cats. They could not【C2】________with the bear, whose strength, speed and claws【C3】________an impressive "small fire" weaponry. They could not even defend themselves by running【C4】________like the horses, zebras or small animals. If the ape-men had attempted to compete on those terms in the open, they would have been【C5】________to failure and extinction.
But they were【C6】________with enormous concealed advantages of a kind not possessed by any of their competitors. In the search【C7】________the pickings of the forest, the ape-men had【C8】________efficient stereoscopic vision and a sense of color that the animals of the grassland did not possess. The ability to see clearly at close【C9】________permitted the ape-men to study practical problems in a way that lay far【C10】________the reach of the original inhabitants of the grassland.
Good long-distance sight was【C11】________another matter. Lack of long-distance vision had not been a problem for forest-dwelling apes and monkeys because the higher the【C12】________the greater the range of sight, so all they had to do was climb a tree out in the open. However, this simple solution was not【C13】________Climbing a hill would have helped, but in many【C14】________the ground was flat. The ape-men【C15】________the only possible solution. They reared up as high as possible on their hind limbs and began to walk upright. This vital change of physical position brought about【C16】________disadvantages. It was extremely【C17】________and it meant that the already slow ape-men became slower still. 【C18】________, they persevered and their bone structure gradually became【C19】________to the new, unstable position that【C20】________them the name Homoerectus, upright man.

选项
A、helpful
B、suitable
C、unstable
D、awful
答案
C
解析
helpful意为“有帮助的,有用的”,suitable意为“适当的,相配的”,unstable意为“不稳定的”,awful意为“可怕的,糟糕的”。上文提到这种姿势的重要改变带来了诸多不便,结合常识可知,猿人刚直立行走时摇摇晃晃的,且下文也出现了相关表达unstable position,所以C最符合文意。
