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.

解析
本题是一道语意逻辑推导题。本题中的特殊标点符号冒号暗示冒号前后的两部分在语意上应该是相同的。冒号后面部分的含义是:"人类基因组已在2001年分布于众"。冒号前面部分的含义应该是:"谜的一半已经被解开若干年"。由此可以推导出本题的正确答案应该是"available"(可达到的)。
