33、 ”，因此，正确答案是 H。 45 【正确答案】 L 【试题解析】 此处要填动词，文章此处要表达的意思是类人猿骨骼经历了变化，从而适应了新的姿态，在此强调的是结果，因此选的是 adapted， be adapted to sth意为 “习惯于 ，适应于 ” 。因此，正确答案是 L。 46 【正确答案】 I 【试题解析】 这里要填一个动词，此处原文意为 “类人猿适应了新的姿态，从而_”，选项中， earn意为 “赚得，赢得，博得 ”，后可跟复合宾语，因此，正确答案是 I。 Section B 47 【正确答案】 L 【试题解析】 此句意为 “道奇兄弟都是硬汉，这也是他们与亨利福特共事的原因，当时
