    C

    galaxies

    D

    shuttles


    正确答案： B
    解析：
    句意：加州大学的宇航员发现了最远的星系之一。由从句中的astronomers一词，可以联想到galaxy（星系）和shuttle（航空器）两个词。但所填词应该是discover的宾语，而由one of the most distant也可以判断出后面所指的应该是“星系”。因此C为正确答案。paradox似是而非的论点；自相矛盾的话。paradise天堂，乐园。shuttle航空器。三个选项均与该句逻辑关系不符。

    D

    present an example of a type of early greenhouse

    E

    show that greenhouses have been around for centuries


    正确答案： B
    解析：
    此题需结合整个段落的大意，该段主要说明的是greenhouse（温室）的历史，作者提到pineries主要为了说明早期温室发展的多种形式。C选项很有迷惑性，因为“pineries”是专为保护菠萝而建的，但这并不是作者想要阐述的重点。
