    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.

选项
答案I
解析 空格前的had提示，空格处应填入过去分词构成过去完成时。空格前提到“为了寻找森林中可以采摘的东西”，可推断此处表示“猿人开发培养了立体视觉和色感”，developed能表示“自身潜在技能的开发”，故选I。generated意为“产生”，从下一句的The ability to see clearly at close range“能够看清近距离的物体”可以推知，猿人本来是有视觉的，故不选“产生”。
