问题 Man has become master of the Earth’s surface. He is constantly probing into the earth’s depths and into atmosphere’s upper reaches.【C1】______ it is doubtful whether man, with all of his intelligence and vigor, holds his planetary seat with greater【C2】______ than a vast tribe of small, many-legged animals that pass their lives at his feet—the spiders.
Spiders are among the【C3】______ of science. They dwell at higher altitudes than any other【C4】______ of their size or larger. On the slopes of Mount Everest, at an altitude of twenty-two thousand feet—five thousand feet above the vegetation line—【C5】______ a species of black spider only a quarter of an inch long. This is an【C6】______ environment for creatures so delicately constructed. To protect themselves from the chill of night, they take shelter in crevices where the twenty-four-hour【C7】______ in temperature is only twelve degrees, as against forty-four on the outside.
Spiders live in other unlikely【C8】______ —rabbit burrows, flowers, anthills, and the desolate, drafty aeries of eagles. They have been found soaring through the air five miles【C9】______ the earth. One【C10】______ has been discovered in an African cavern more than two thousand feet underground. [br] 【C1】

选项 A、Then
B、Yet
C、So
D、And

答案 B

解析本句相对于上两句而言，意思明显发生转折，因此需要填入一个表示转折关系的连接词，B项Yet(然而)是正确答案。A项Then表示顺序，C项So表示因果关系，D项And表示同一意思的延续，用在此处都不合适。
