【解析】本文主要講了人類是最聰明的動物，并且他們具有創(chuàng)造性。

【1】考查定語從句。這里含有一個定語從句，關系詞在從句中作主語，指物，所以填that/which。

【2】考查主謂一致。在一般現(xiàn)在時中，主語Culture是第三人稱單數，所以謂語動詞也要用單數形式，填means。

【3】考查形容詞。修飾名詞group，用形容詞形式，所以填particular。

【4】考查連詞。連接兩個并列的主語，用and.

【5】考查時態(tài)。You與raise之間是被動關系，所以用被動語態(tài)，填are raised。

【6】考查名詞。句意：為了滿足各種情況，他們能夠決定改變他們的文化。前面有various，可知這里應該使用名詞復數，所以填situations。

【7】考查最高級。句意：人類是最聰明的。所以這里應該使用最高級形式，填cleverest/most clever。

【8】考查固定句型。Choose to do是固定用法，意思是選擇做某事，所以填to live。

【9】考查代詞。表示“幫助他們自己實現(xiàn)這些選擇”，應該用反身代詞，所以填themselves。

【10】考查主謂一致。V+ing作主語，謂語動詞用單數，所以填is。
