Currently, the best【C1】________on the existence of other planets comes from NASA’s【C2】________Kepler satellite, which has been mapping an area of the sky【C3】________some 150,000 stars.
Scientists estimate that around 5 percent of planets in our galaxy have masses similar【C4】________Earth’s and, possibly, are within the habitable zone of their stars, meaning that【C5】________they hold water it has a high chance of being liquid.【C6】________there are about 200 billion stars in our galaxy alone, scientists estimate that there should be about 10 billion Earth-size planets. Not bad, especially if we【C7】________that to be Earth-size and within a habitable zone is all it takes for life to take hold in an【C8】________world. In practice, however, the situation is much more【C9】________ since it depends on what life is and how it appears in a planet,【C10】________on the planet’s detailed geological history.
Here on Earth life appeared some 3.5 billion years ago.【C11】________that it may have been here as far【C12】________ as 3.8 billion years ago remain tentative. For about the first three billion years, life on earth was【C13】________in the form of single-cell creatures. Only when Earth’s atmosphere was full of oxygen did more sophisticated organisms appear.

The results from Kepler’s mission are encouraging and exciting. We have the【C18】________of confirming the existence of countless other worlds out there. Based on these findings, we should indeed【C19】________that other worlds would host some kind of simple life. However, as some scientists argued, Earth and its ability to host complex life will probably remain a【C20】________phenomenon in this and other galaxies.
【C4】
选项
A、as
B、to
C、with
D、like
答案
B
解析
所需介词应能搭配similar表示“与……相似”之意,说明“约有5%的行星具有跟地球相似的质量”。选项中只有B项to符合用法上的要求。A项as和D项like可表示“与……相像”之意,但通常不搭配similar使用。C项with通常也不与similar搭配。
