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.  
选项
答案less——more
解析 本题为逻辑错误。此句较为复杂，但除去非限制性定语从句后便是“It is hard to see any survival value in attacking one’s own，but if we take account of the long competition，human rage becomes less comprehensible．”前半句对人类向自己种族发怒表示否定，后半句用but表示转折，因此后半句应当在逻辑上表示肯定，应当是more comprehensible。
