   And with water present the【C3】______of finding some sort of life on Mars are【C4】______brighter.
   This is the view of 40【C5】______all over the world who have been analyzing【C6】______of pictures and other scientific【C7】______obtained by robot explorers in the sixties and seventies.
   To begin with, scientists thought the Red Planet was as【C8】______as the Moon with dust storms swirling over vast sandy【C9】______. But now the picture is very different with mountains and valleys carved by【C10】______glaciers and torrential rivers rushing and rumbling deep underground.
   In a report on the【C11】______of the Martian pictures Dr. Michael Car of the U.S. Geological Survey comments,  "I am【C12】______there’s lots of water on Mars." Any surface water will be in the【C13】______of ice. But it could【C14】______explorers having to take so much fresh【C15】______with them.
   The report says【C16】______Mars probably had a warmer climate in ages【C17】______due to its axis having been more steeply tilted towards the Sun.

选项 A、lots
B、quantifies
C、thousand
D、thousands
答案 D
解析 固定搭配。“______ of pictures”和“other scientific______”是并列结构，由表被动语态的过去分词短语obtained by robot explorers....修饰，根据常识，机器人探测器在六七十年代获取的照片应该非常多，所以第一个空格处应该填入thousands of(许多的，成千上万的)，来表达“极多”的含义。
