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. 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. That, in turn, means looking at the DNA of the two species, (9)_____ it is here that the (10)_____ must originate.
One half of the puzzle has been (11)_____ for several years: the human genome was published in 2001. The second has now been added, with the announcement in this week’s Nature (12)_____ the chimpanzee genome has been sequenced as well.

选项
A、duplicated
B、dwarfed
C、made
D、over lapped
答案
C
解析
duplicated使加倍;复制;重复、dwarfed使相形见绌;胜过、made做出;做、overlapped互搭,复叠。本题是一道词汇题,考查动词"make"的正确搭配使用。make通常与固定的名词连用,构成动宾关系。本题空白处前面的"comparison"(比较)一词暗示本题的正确答案应该是"made",因为"make comparison"(做比较)是一固定的搭配形式。
