Our ape-men forefathers had no obvious natural weapons in the struggle for【1】in the open. They had neither the powerful teeth nor the strong claws of the big cats. They could not【2】with the bear, whose strength, speed and claws【3】an impressive " small fire" weaponry.

选项
A、fast
B、stably
C、happily
D、upright
答案
D
解析
前面是说他们尽可能地直立使用后肢,那么后面就应当填入直立行走才符合句意,故应当是walk upright。fast肯定是不符合常识的,而stably也不是,因为刚直立行走,必定会有一个适应的过程,不会如此稳定。况且后文也已经说到了unstable。而happily 则无从谈起。
