请从所给的四个选项中，选择最适合的一个填在问号处，使之呈现一定的规律性（）
A.选项A
B.选项B
C.选项C
D.选项D
参考答案：D
解析：
无论是排还是列阴影棱形的数量都是有两个图形有3个，一个图形为2个，由此排除A、B。再看阴影棱形的位置在排和列上每一个图形在下部的正中位置的棱形都是阴影，而上部正中位置的棱形无论是排还是列都只有一个图形中的是阴影，由此排除C，故选D。
Passage Three
| For centuries, explorers have risked their lives venturing into the unknown for reasons that were to varying degrees economic and nationalistic (国家主义的). Columbus went west to look for better trade routes to the Orient and to promote the greater glory of Spain. Lewis and Clark journeyed into the American wilderness to find out what the U. S. had acquired when it purchased Louisiana, and the Appolo astronauts rocketed to the moon in a dramatic show of technological muscle during the cold war. Although their missions blended commercial and political military imperatives, the explorers involved all accomplished some significant science simply by going where no scientists had gone before. Today Mars looms (隐约出现) as humanity’s next great terra incognita (未探明之地). And with growing emphasis on international cooperation in large space ventures, it is clear that imperatives (需要，必要) other than profits or nationalism will have to compel human beings to leave their tracks on the planet’s reddish surface. Could it be that science, which has long played a minor role in exploration, is at last destined to take a leading role The question naturally invites a couple of others: Are there experiments that only humans could do on Mars Could those experiments provide insights profound enough to justify the expense of sending people across inter- planetary space With Mars the scientific stakes are arguably higher than they have ever been. The issue of whether life ever existed on the planet, and whether it persists to this day, has been highlighted by mounting evidence that the Red Planet once had abundant stable, liquid water and by the continuing controversy over suggestions that bacterial fossils rode to Earth on a meteorite (陨石) from Mars. A more conclusive answer about life on Mars, past or present, would give researchers invaluable data about the range of conditions under which a planet can generate the complex chemistry that leads to life. If it could be established that life arose independently on Mars and Earth, the finding would provide the first concrete clues in one of the deepest mysteries in all of science: the prevalence of life in the universe. |
By saying "With Mars the scientific stakes are arguably higher than they have ever been" (Line 1, Para.4), the author means that______.
A．with Mars the risks involved are much greater than any previous space ventures
B．in the case of Mars, the rewards of scientific exploration can be very high
C．in the case of Mars, much more research funds are needed than ever before
D．with Mars, scientists argue, the fundamental interests of science are at issue
