1.The skeleton of a primitive bird was recently discovered indicated that this ancient creature___ today's birds in that, unlike earlier birds and unlike reptilian ancestors, it had not a tooth in its head.a. preempted
b. anticipated
c. differed from
为什么答案选b呢

unlike earlier birds and unlike reptilian ancestors
unlike说明前后呈相反，即文中this ancient creature与earlier birds和reptilian ancestors形成对比~
后面it had not a tooth in its head，那么前面就是it had a tooth in its head，这里通过常识知道today's birds 有tooth in its head。那么前面只能填anticipate，表明上述的前后对比。

anticipate 我查韦氏词典
1 : to give advance thought, discussion, or treatment to
2 : to meet (an obligation) before a due date
3 : to foresee and deal with in advance : FORESTALL
4 : to use or expend in advance of actual possession
5 : to act before (another) often so as to check or counter
6 : to look forward to as certain : EXPECT

难道是第五个解释？

这里是个顺承关系撒~
to foresee and deal with in advance 才是本文中anticipate的意思，differ from完全反了~

为什么不是a？我怎么隐约觉得这是2.18的考题？我觉得 无非两种可能，一种像以前的，一种像现在的，题目说了不像以前的，那么就是像现在的，所以我觉得是a啊，

我觉着是想说 最早的鸟和 reptile 都是有牙齿的，而最近挖出来的的那个是没有牙齿的， 和现在的鸟一样的，所以是anticipate
