Now that we are fairly sure that there are many Earth-like planets in the Galaxy, the time is ripe (or almost so) to wonder whether these new worlds do indeed have a high probability of hosting new forms of life.
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.
【C14】________its unusual atmosphere, Earth’s heavy, single moon, its magnetic field also did something else that allowed complex life to【C15】________on its surface.【C16】________ these, Complex life would find it very hard to【C17】________ and survive.
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.

选项
A、instead of
B、except that
C、as well as
D、in terms of
答案
C
解析
since引导的原因状语从句表明其后的内容都是决定生命条件的因素,空格后的该行星的地质史也是其中之一。故选C项as well as“也”。A项instead of“而不是”,根据常识可知,地质史是决定是否存在生命体的条件之一。B项except that“除外”后常接从句。D项in terms of“关于,就……来说”代入句中表示关于地质历史,不符合句意。
