问题     The main reason we explore Mars is to determine if life ever existed on the planet. We have tried for centuries, starting with 【B1】______and lately with satellites, landers and rovers. We have 【B2】______ for it directly and indirectly. No luck so far. Some think life has never been there. Others think it was there in the past but is now gone. Many think why bother, but that’s a whole different story. I think we are 【B3】______in the wrong places. Here is why.
    The surface of Mars is 【B4】______cold and dry. Cosmic and solar 【B5】______reach the surface by the thin atmosphere, and the soil contains strong oxidants (氧化剂) that destroy organic 【B6】______. Fat chance for life. But it wasn’t always so.
    Early in its history Mars was warmer and 【B7】______enough for the development of rivers, lakes and perhaps oceans. The atmosphere was thicker and the protective magnetic (磁的) field was switched on. Mars might be 【B8】______today, but life would have been possible in the past. 【B9】______
    But first we need to find a promising location, and that means reconstructing Martian history. 【B10】______, what type of minerals formed and if the geochemical conditions were compatible with life. Once promising sites are identified, we need to find out if there are 【B11】______
【B1】
选项
答案telescopes
解析 并列关系题。空格后有lately with satellites，而and前后连接的单词或短语的结构应该是一致的，由此可知，空格处的单词应该和satellites词性相同，都表示观察火星的某种工具。结合录音可知，答案为telescopes。
