问题      What will future historians remember about the impact of science【C1】______ the last decade of the 20th century?
     They will not be much【C2】______ with many of the marvels that currently preoccupy us,【C3】______ the miraculous increase in the power of home computers and the unexpected growth of the Internet.【C4】______ will they dwell much【C5】______ global warming, the loss of biodiversity and other examples of our penchant for【C6】______ . Instead, the end of the 20th century will be【C7】______ as the time when, for better or worse, science began to bring【C8】______ a fundamental shift in our【C9】______ of ourselves.
     It will be the【C10】______ time that science has forced us to re-evaluate【C11】______ we are. The first time, of course, was the revolution that【C12】______ Copernicus in 1543 and continued with Kepler, Galileo and Newton.【C13】______ the Church’s opposition, we came to realize that the Earth does not【C14】______ at the center of the universe.【C15】______ we gradually found we live on a small planet on the edge of a minor galaxy,【C16】______ one star in a universe that contains billions of others. Our【C17】______  position in the universe was gone forever.
     A few centuries later we were removed even【C18】______ from stage center. The Darwinian revolution removed us from our position as a unique【C19】______ of God. Instead we discovered we were just another part of the animal kingdom proud to have "a miserable ape for a grandfather" as Thomas Huxley【C20】______ in 1860. We know now just how close to the apes we are-over 90% of our genes are the same of those of the chimpanzee.
【C14】
选项 A、live
B、place
C、plant
D、lie
答案D
解析 此题考查动词的用法。D项lie常常表示某地“位于”什么地方。例如：Japan lies to the east of China．或者Shanghai lies in the east of China．因为该句的主语是the Earth，所以主动式B项place和C项 plant不仅不合语法，而且在语义上也不合题意。A项live不可以和地球这样的名词搭配，尽管地球也有“寿命”，但却无“生命”。
