They could not 【B1】______ with the bear, whose strength, speed and claws 【B2】______ an impressive ’smallfire’ weaponry. They could not even defend themselves 【B3】______ 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 【B4】______ to failure and extinction.

In the search 【B6】______ the pickings of the forest, the ape-men had 【B7】______ 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 【B8】______ the reach of the original inhabitants of the grassland. Good long- distance sight was 【B9】______ another matter.

A、for
B、of
C、on
D、at
答案
A
解析
词汇搭配知识。search作为名词时与of和for都可搭配,但略有不同。in search of为固定短语,search前不加冠词,in one’s或the search for相当于in search of。make a search of some place,start/launch a search for sth.都是常用表达。
