MARSIS【C14】______the echoes of the radio waves, which scientists can then【C15】______to decipher the composition of the subsurface.
    Starting in May 2012, MARSIS【C16】______more than three years pinging a region at Mars with radio waves.【C17】______helps to look at the data yourself. In addition to an illustration that shows how Mars Express【C18】______Mars, the image【C19】______what’s called a radargram, a picture of different materials, molded out of radio waves. The thick, gray line at the top is the planet’s surface. The squiggles below that are a【C20】______of ice and dust.
【C12】
选项 A、in short
B、as short
C、for short
D、be short
答案C
解析 固定搭配题。通过分析可知，MARSIS明显是前面破折号后面的长短语的缩写，for short意为“简称，缩写”，为固定搭配，因此选择[C]。
