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.

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、while
B、when
C、since
D、provided
答案
A
解析
上一句指出没有发现用火的证据,本句又提到在非洲发观几处火的痕迹,很显然这是一种转折关系,所以选while引导让步状语从句,意为“虽然,尽管”when引导时间状语从句;since“由于;自……以后”,引导原因或者时间状语从句;provided“假如,倘若”,引导条件状语从句。
