Unless we spend money to spot and prevent asteroids now, one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists.
Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteorites that race(1)______ the night sky. Most(2)______ the sun far from Earth and don’t threaten us. But there are also thousands(3)______ orbits put them on a collision course with the(4)______.

选项
A、benefit
B、profit
C、favor
D、oblige
答案
C
解析
语义线索题。由下一句But转折的内容和下文可知,有些科学家赞同用核武器把小行星推离其原有的轨迹,故favor“支持,赞成”符合句意,C正确。benefit“有益于,获益”;profit“有益于,获利”;oblige“迫使做,使尽义务”。
