问题     A strange thing about humans is their capacity for blind rage. Rage is
presumably an emotion resulting from survival intuition, but the surprising 1.______
thing about it is that we do not deploy it to other animals. If we encounter 2.______
a dangerous wild animal — a poisonous snake or a wild cat — we do not
fly into a temper. If we are unarmed, we show fear and attempt to be 3.______
back away; if we are suitably armed, we attack, but in a rational manner
not in a rage. We reserve rage for our own species. It is hard to see any
survival value in attacking one’s own, but if we make account of the long 4.______
competition, which should have existed between our own subspecies and 5.______
others like Neanderthal man — indeed others are still more remote from us 6.______
than Neanderthal man — human rage becomes less comprehensible. 7.______
    In our everyday language and behavior there are many reminders
of those early struggles. We are always using the words "us and them",
"Our" side is perpetually trying to do against the "other" side. In games 8.______
we artificially create other subspecies we can attack. The opposition of
"us" and "them" is the touchstone of the two-party system of "democratic"
politics. Although there are no serious consequences to these modern
psychological representations of the "us and them" emotion, it is as well as 9.______
to remember that the initial aim was not to beat the other subspecies in a 10.______
game but to exterminate it.  [br]
选项
答案 to——against
解析 本题为介词误用。根据下文可见此处指人类运用怒气对付凶猛动物，表示对抗用介词against，介词to往往表示趋向。
