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. But Pan or Homo, there is no (7)_____ that chimps are humans’ nearest living relatives, and that if the secrets of what makes humanity special are ever to be (8)_____, understanding why chimps are not people, nor people chimps, is a crucial part of the process.

选项
A、And
B、Or
C、Thereby
D、But
答案
D
解析
And和,与、Or或者,或、Thereby因此,由此,从而、But但是,可是。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相对立的,由此可以推断出本题的正确答案是"But"。
