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. For those expecting (13)_____ answers to age-old questions (14)_____, the publication of the chimp genome may be something of an (15)_____ There are no immediately obvious genes—present in one, but not the other—that account for such characteristic human (16)_____ as intelligence or even hairlessness. And (17)_____ there is a gene connected with language, known as FOXP2, it had already been discovered. But although the preliminary comparison of the two genomes (18)_____ by the members of the Chimpanzee Sequencing and Analysis Consortium, the multinational team that generated the sequence, did not (19)_____ any obvious nuggets of genetic gold, it does at least show where to look for (20)_____.
选项
A、panacea
B、anticlimax
C、zenith
D、momentum
答案
B
解析
panacea万能药;治百病的灵药、anticlimax令人失望的,结尾;虎头蛇尾;苍白无力的结尾、zenith顶峰;极盛时期、momentum动力;势力;契机。本题是一道语意逻辑推导题。本题所在的句子和其后面的一句话实际上是因果关系。后面的句子是原因,本题所在的句子是结果。由于没有即刻就能识别的基因,所以黑猩猩基因组的公布也许是令人失望的结果。由此可以推断本题的正确答案只能是"anticlimax",因为四个候选项只有该选项符合此意。
