Fire, scientists agree, helped give rise to a successful, thriving human population by providing heat for cooking and protection from the cold.
But they don’t agree【C1】______when humans began using fire. Some researchers argue that it【C2】______more than a million years ago when early humans【C3】______their way to Europe from Africa, and【C4】______say it happened much later. Now, a new study reveals that humans did not【C5】______fire until about 400 000 years ago.

They looked at excavation(发掘)reports and studies from 141 sites in Europe that were【C7】______1.2 million and 35 000 years old. They think there is no clear evidence of【C8】______fire use until about 400 000 years ago. In Africa,【C9】______there are several sites where there was evidence of fire, those may have been【C10】______fires that occurred in the African grassland.【C11】______, there are also sites older than 400 000 years in Europe that indicate the【C12】______of humans, with the oldest, in Spain, more than a million years old.

选项
A、soon
B、early
C、often
D、long
答案
B
解析
根据上文,科学界对于人类何时开始生活在地球上没有定论,这为解答该题提供了线索。整句表达的是人类最早什么时候开始在地球上生存这一问题。结合选项,early符合句意。how soon意为“多久”;how often用于提问频率;how long意为“多长时间,多久”。
