"It is(12)______ at the moment that the earliest Homo sapiens that we know is in east Africa and is 200,000 years old,or a little less. We don’t know of anywhere else where anyone(13)______ to have an earlier Homo sapiens,"he said.

选项
A、added
B、excessive
C、extreme
D、additional
答案
D
解析
动词辨析题。根据上面的句意,此处表示通过更多的发现来证实目前公布的结果。[D]additional表示“额外的,附加的”,符合文意,故为正确答案。[A]added表示“增加的”,[B]excessive表示“过度的”,含有数量之大让人难以忍受的意思,[C]extreme表示“过分的,过度的”。上述三个选项都不符合文意。
