When he came to (1)_____ people into his system, he put them into a group called Homo and Linne’s hairless fellow humans are still known biologically as Homo sapiens. (2)_____ the group originally had a second member, Homo troglodytes. It lived in Africa, and the pictures show it to be covered (3)_____ hair.
Modern (4)_____ are not as generous as Linne in welcoming other species into Man’s lofty (5)_____, and the chimpanzee is now referred to (6)_____ Pan troglodytes.

A、And
B、Or
C、Thereby
D、But
答案
D
解析
本题是一道词汇题,考查转折词"but"的使用。本题空白处后面的内容"这个群体原来有第二个成员"暗示"现在这个群体目前只有一个成员了"。故本题空白处前后的两部分的内容是对立的,由此可以推断出本题的正确答案是"But"。
