问题    What will future historians remember about the impact of science【C1】______ the last decade of the 20th century?
   They will not be much【C2】______ with many of the marvels that currently preoccupy us,【C3】______ the miraculous increase in the power of home computers and the unexpected growth of the Internet.【C4】______ will they dwell much【C5】______ global warming, the loss of biodiversity and other examples of our penchant for【C6】______ . Instead, the end of the 20th century will be【C7】______ as the time when, for better or worse, science began to bring【C8】______ a fundamental shift in our【C9】______ of ourselves.
   It will be the【C10】______ time that science has forced us to re-evaluate【C11】______ we are. The first time, of course, was the revolution that【C12】______ Copernicus in 1543 and continued with Kepler, Galileo and Newton.【C13】______ the Church’s opposition, we came to realize that the Earth does not【C14】______ at the center of the universe.【C15】______ we gradually found we live on a small planet on the edge of a minor galaxy,【C16】______ one star in a universe that contains billions of others. Our【C17】______  position in the universe was gone forever.
   A few centuries later we were removed even【C18】______ from stage center. The Darwinian revolution removed us from our position as a unique【C19】______ of God. Instead we discovered we were just another part of the animal kingdom proud to have "a miserable ape for a grandfather" as Thomas Huxley【C20】______ in 1860. We know now just how close to the apes we are-over 90% of our genes are the same of those of the chimpanzee. [br] 【C14】

选项 A、live
B、place
C、plant
D、lie

答案 D

解析此题考查动词的用法。D项lie常常表示某地“位于”什么地方。例如：Japan lies to the east of China．或者Shanghai lies in the east of China．因为该句的主语是the Earth，所以主动式B项place和C项 plant不仅不合语法，而且在语义上也不合题意。A项live不可以和地球这样的名词搭配，尽管地球也有“寿命”，但却无“生命”。
