Our ape-men forefathers had no obvious natural weapons in the struggle【C1】________ survival in the open. They had neither the powerful teeth nor the strong claws of the big cats. They could not【C2】________ with the bear, whose strength, speed and claws provided an impressive "small-fire" weaponry. They could not even defend themselves【C3】________ running swiftly 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 doomed to【C4】________ and extinction. But they were endowed with enormous concealed advantages of a kind not possessed by any of their competitors.
In the search for the pickings of the forest, the ape-men had【C5】________efficient stereoscopic vision and a sense of colour that the animals of the grasslands did not possess. The ability to see clearly at close range permitted the ape-men to study practical problems in a way that lay far beyond the reach of the original inhabitants of the grassland. Good long-distance sight was【C6】________ another matter.
Lack of long-distance vision had not been a problem for forest-dwelling apes and monkeys because the higher the viewpoint, the greater the【C7】________ of sight—so what they had had to do was climb a tree. Out in the open, however, this simple solution was not available. Climbing a hill would have helped, but in many places the ground was【C8】________. The ape-men adopted the only possible solution. They reared up as high as possible on their hind limbs and began to walk upright.

选项
答案
M
解析
空格跟名词extinction“灭绝”并列,因此空格处应填入名词,上文提到“他们不能像马、斑马或其他小动物一样通过快速奔跑来保护自己”,由此可见,如果猿人试图在野外与其他动物在这些方面一争高低,一定会“失败”。词库中的名词failure“失败”符合语境,故选M。
