问题     When the earth was born there was no ocean. The gradually cooling earth was enveloped in heavy layers of cloud, which【S1】_____much of the water of new planet. For a long time its surface was so hot that no moisture could fall without【S2】_____being reconverted to steam. This dense, perpetually renewed cloud covering much has been so【S3】_____that no rays of sunlight could penetrate it. And so the rough【S4】_____of the continents and the empty ocean basins(盆地)were sculptured out of the surface of the earth in【S5】_____. As soon as the earth’s crust cooled enough, the rains begin to fall. They fell【S6】_____day and night, days passing into months, into years, into centuries. They【S7】_____into the waiting ocean basins, or, falling upon the continental masses, drained away to become sea.
    That primeval(原始的)ocean must have been only faintly【S8】_____But from the moment the rains began to fall, the lands began to be【S9】_____away and carried to the sea. It is an endless, inexorable(不可阻挡的) 【S10】_____that has never stopped—the dissolving of the rocks, the leaching out of their contained minerals, the carrying of the rock fragments and dissolved minerals to the ocean. And over the eons(极长的 时期)of time, the sea has grown ever more bitter with the salt of the continents.
A)thick F)procedure K)process

C)composed H)contained M)worn
D)continuously I)salty N)poured
E)brightness J)immediately O)abundant

选项
答案B
解析 名词辨析题。空格处前面是一个介词，可以判断此处需要填入名词。根据上文“云层很厚，没有光线可以穿透”不难判断此时地球上比较黑暗，故答案应该为darkness“黑暗”。
