【解析】本文主要讲了人类是最聪明的动物，并且他们具有创造性。

【1】考查定语从句。这里含有一个定语从句，关系词在从句中作主语，指物，所以填that/which。

【2】考查主谓一致。在一般现在时中，主语Culture是第三人称单数，所以谓语动词也要用单数形式，填means。

【3】考查形容词。修饰名词group，用形容词形式，所以填particular。

【4】考查连词。连接两个并列的主语，用and.

【5】考查时态。You与raise之间是被动关系，所以用被动语态，填are raised。

【6】考查名词。句意：为了满足各种情况，他们能够决定改变他们的文化。前面有various，可知这里应该使用名词复数，所以填situations。

【7】考查最高级。句意：人类是最聪明的。所以这里应该使用最高级形式，填cleverest/most clever。

【8】考查固定句型。Choose to do是固定用法，意思是选择做某事，所以填to live。

【9】考查代词。表示“帮助他们自己实现这些选择”，应该用反身代词，所以填themselves。

【10】考查主谓一致。V+ing作主语，谓语动词用单数，所以填is。
