Natural Selection, a theory developed by Charles Darwin in the 1800s, explains how the features of a species can change over many generations. These changes may take different forms. Sometimes, a plant or animal may develop completely new characteristics which enable it to live successfully in a new habitat. __11__, evidence indicates that the dolphin’s ancestors once lived on land. To this day, dolphins breathe air through lungs, just as land animals do. However, we know them as water animals because they live in water and have developed features that make them good swimmers. __12__, living things may also develop new features permitting them to endure in their own habitat. Take polar bears as an example; not all polar bears have always been white. In the past, the white polar bears __13__ well with their environment, so they were more successful in escaping from predators. While their dark colored peers were killed more frequently, the white polar bears survived to __14__ so that their numbers grew. Sometimes the habitat of a species will change in some way. This change may force the species to either move to a new habitat or adapt to the changed habitat. One example of a species that adapted to a new area is the peppered moth. Peppered moths __15__ in the forests of England for thousands of years. They rest on the trunks of trees during the day and, while resting, are the diet of many birds. Peppered moths vary in color, from light-colored to dark-colored. In the unpolluted area, more light-colored moths survive. In the polluted area, more dark-colored moths survive.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察第 11 句提到的海豚案例，以及第 12 句後提到的北極熊案例。這兩者在文章中都是為了說明「自然選擇」理論下的不同生存方式。當作者介紹完第一種適應方式（海豚），接著要介紹第二種同樣能達到生存目的、但機制平行的例子時，你會傾向使用代表「對立」、「否定」還是「類比」的銜接詞呢？
