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、succeed
B、thrive
C、wander
D、assemble
答案
B
解析
一般认为,地球自身的重量、单月卫星以及磁场是使得复杂生命体得以在地球上存活和繁衍的部分因素。B项thrive“兴盛、茁壮成长”代入后可指生命体在地球表面上存活并发展。符合语义要求。A项succeed“成功”可指任何达到目的的行为,语义过于宽泛,不能满足句子的语义要求。C项wander“徘徊,漫步,漫游”和D项assemble“聚集,集合”的语义与句中提到的环境因素无关。
