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.
【C17】
选项
A、evolve
B、persist
C、degenerate
D、ripen
答案
A
解析
上段中提到在量初的30亿年里,地球上的生命体基本是单细胞。直到大气层中充满氧气才出现更复杂的生物体。这是一个逐渐进化的过程,A项evolve“进化”符合要求。能和其后的survive“生存”构成语义并列。
