, typewriters are entirely powered by yourfingertips. They do not require electricity, so you can gracefully carry on writing in a sudden power outage.41 A. By accident B. Better yet C. For starters D. In shortScientists say it could take at least 1,500 years before humans make contact with species of aliens, or for them tocommunicate with or find us. Astronomers from Cornell University in the USA combined two existing theories aboutthe possibility of life existing on other planets to form a new equation. One of these theories is the Fermi Paradoxdescribed by physicist Enrico Fermi in 1950. This states that while billions of Earth-like planets exist in our galaxy, notone has made contact with Earth yet. The other is the mediocrity principle, which suggests that because there is life onEarth, it will typically exist on Earth-like planets throughout the universe.Study author Evan Solomonides will soon present a research paper on his theory. He said, “We haven’t heard fromaliens yet, as space is a big place, but that doesn’t mean no one is out there.” According to Solomonides, extraterrestrialscould have received signals from Earth. However, he proposes that ET would not have been able to decipher them. Hesaid they would need to decode the light waves into sounds and analyze 3,000 human languages to understand anymessages. He said that signals from Earth have only reached about 8,500 stars and that the Milky Way galaxy alonecontains 200 billion stars. He added, “If we stop listening or looking, we may miss the signals. So we should keeplooking.”

官方答案

• 答案：B. Better yet

解析

空格後接續「打字機完全靠指尖驅動、不需電力，停電時仍能從容寫作」，這是在前項優點之外再補上一項更吸引人的好處，故用 Better yet（更好的是）表示遞進最貼切。For starters 用於列舉第一點，In short 用於總結歸納，By accident 表偶然，均無法銜接這種「再加一項優點」的語氣。
