问题     A strange thing about humans is their capacity for blind rage. Rage is
presumably an emotion resulting from survival intuition, but the surprising 1.______
thing about it is that we do not deploy it to other animals. If we encounter 2.______
a dangerous wild animal — a poisonous snake or a wild cat — we do not
fly into a temper. If we are unarmed, we show fear and attempt to be 3.______
back away; if we are suitably armed, we attack, but in a rational manner
not in a rage. We reserve rage for our own species. It is hard to see any
survival value in attacking one’s own, but if we make account of the long 4.______
competition, which should have existed between our own subspecies and 5.______
others like Neanderthal man — indeed others are still more remote from us 6.______
than Neanderthal man — human rage becomes less comprehensible. 7.______
    In our everyday language and behavior there are many reminders
of those early struggles. We are always using the words "us and them",
"Our" side is perpetually trying to do against the "other" side. In games 8.______
we artificially create other subspecies we can attack. The opposition of
"us" and "them" is the touchstone of the two-party system of "democratic"
politics. Although there are no serious consequences to these modern
psychological representations of the "us and them" emotion, it is as well as 9.______
to remember that the initial aim was not to beat the other subspecies in a 10.______
game but to exterminate it.  
选项
答案should——must
解析 本题为情态动词误用。should have done表示应该完成某事却没有完成，而此处是对人类处理怒气的方式尝试解释，对人类和穴居人之间的竞争做出的肯定性推测，应当用must have done。
