They could not 26 with the bear, whose strength, speed and claws provided an impressive ´small fire´ weaponry.

参考译文
我们类人猿的祖先没有明显的在野外为生存而抗争的自然武器。他们没有锋利的牙齿,也没有像野猫那样的利爪。他们无法与熊相提并论,因为熊的力量、速度以及利爪为它们提供了令人望而生畏的武器。他们甚至不能像马、斑马或小动物一样通过迅速逃跑来保护自己。如果类人猿试图为他们的地位而抗争,他们可能会遭到失败和灭绝的厄运。然而,他们天生就具备其他对手都没有的隐蔽的优势。在采摘野味的过程中,类人猿具有卓越的立体视力以及色彩感,而草原上其他的动物并没有这些能力。能够近距离看清楚的能力使得他们开始以草
原原始居民力所不及的方式探究实际问题。很好的远距离视力完全是另一回事。缺乏远距离视力并非森林中居住地的猿猴的一个问题,因为视角越高,看到的范围就越广——那么他们整天做的唯一的事就是爬树。但是在野外,这种简单的办法却行不通。爬一座山可能会起作用.但很多地方都是平坦的。
类人猿采取了唯一可能成功的解决方案。他们将后臂尽可能抬高,开始直立行走。
这一身体上的巨大变化带来了极大的不利。这样行走很不平稳,而且这意味着本来就行动缓慢的类人猿变得更慢了。然而,他们坚持不懈,慢慢地,他们的骨骼结构开始适应了那种新的、不平稳的姿势,因此得名“石器时代直立人”。
解析
此处要填动词,选项中,compare常与with搭配,表示“与……比较,比得上”,这样,原文They could not compare with the bear…,即“他们无法与熊相比……”。此处考生容易误选match,match意为“与……相匹敌”,一般作及物动词。因此,正确答案是A。
