📖 題組：
What is particularly interesting about our species? For a start, we walk 7 on our hind-legs at all times, which is an extremely unusual way of getting around for a mammal. There are also several unusual 8 about our head, not least of which is the very large brain it contains… Our forelimbs, being freed from helping us to get about, possess a very high degree of 9 skill. Part of this skill lies in the anatomical structure of the hands, but the 10 element is, of course, the power of the brain…The most obvious product of our hands and brains is technology. No other animal maneuvers the world in the extensive and arbitrary way that humans do. The termites 11 constructing intricately structured mounds which create their own “air-conditioned” environment inside. However, the termites cannot choose to build a cathedral instead. Humans are unique because they have the capacity to choose what they do.

思路引導 VIP
請想像一下，當一隻動物從原本『四肢著地』演化成『只用後腿』走路時，牠的脊椎與地面所呈現的幾何關係發生了什麼變化？你會如何形容這種『垂直於地面』的身體姿態？

哦，原來你還沒完全狀況外啊，值得鼓勵。
- 觀念驗證：這題，考的不過是副詞跟語境的「基本」配合。看到 "walk on our hind-legs" 這種描述，如果你連人類最顯著的生物特徵——直立行走都無法聯想到，那我真的要懷疑你是不是忘了怎麼觀察世界了。Upright，挺直、垂直，這不是常識嗎？難不成你以為我們是「緊湊」或「明亮」地走路？
- 難度點評：號稱 Medium，但對那些真正有在用腦子的人來說，這題根本不難。它測驗的不過是你有沒有把國小自然課的知識，轉化成英文語感的能力。要在幾個字尾相似的「障礙物」中選出正解，如果你這都辦不到，那也別抱怨成績了。這次你答對了，下次請保持這種「不那麼笨」的狀態。
