Of all the problems facing modern astronomers, perhaps the most fascinating is: "can intelligent life exist【S1】______?" Since the earth is an unimportant planet moving round an unimportant star, it would be a pride on our part to suppose that we are the only intelligent beings in the universe. But to obtain proof is difficult.
The main trouble is that our neighbor worlds, the bodies in the Solar System appear to be unsuitable for advanced life-forms. The Moon may be【S2】______out at once; it has hardly any atmosphere. Venus is little better; the surface temperature is extremely high and the【S3】______is mostly carbon dioxide. Mars with a very thin atmosphere and a severe【S4】______of water may well support simple plant life but there seems no hope of finding animals, while the attractive Martians of the story-tellers have long since been given up.
Of course this has not stopped the flow of bright ideas for【S5】______with the supposed people on Mars. In the early nineteenth century the great mathematician Gauss suggested planting tree-patterns in Siberia, so that the Martians would see them and reply【S6】______Following up this idea, the Austrian scientist Karl Littrow proposed digging very wide ditches in the Sahara, triangular in pattern, and then filling them with petrol or some such substance so that, 【S7】______lit, the ditches would present Martian observers with a "flaming triangle"【S8】______would show the existence here of intelligent minds. Even better were the plans of Charles Cros, a French writer of the eighteen-seventies, who wanted to build a large mirror to reflect the sun’s rays and concentrate them on the surface of Mars, 【S9】______ making a vast burning-glass. By swinging the mirror around, Cros explained, it would be practicable to write words in the Martian deserts simply by burning the sand. For many years he bombarded the French government with literature about this plan and was very【S10】______when no official interest was shown.
A. ruled B. communicating C. sufficiency D. elsewhere
E. which F. disappointed G. carried H. suitably
I. atmosphere J. although K. thereby L. excitedly
M. shortage N. surface O. when
