Karl Von Linne (or Linnaeus, as he is widely known) was a Swedish biologist who devised the system of Latinised scientific names for living things that biologists use to this day. When he came to (1)_____ people into his system, he put them into a group called Ho mo—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.

选项
A、demographers
B、taxonomists
C、chronologists
D、psychologists
答案
B
解析
demographers人口学家、taxonomists分类学家、chronologists年代学者、psychologists 心理学家。本题是一道段落间语意连接推导题。第一段介绍(瑞典生物学家)Linne的分类系统。由此推断第二段的首句的主语也一定和分类有关,故选项"taxonomists"(分类学家)是本题的正确答案。
