Mars has provoked much speculation on the possibilities of __1__life on Earth than any other planet in the Solar System. __2__The presence of water is a prerequisite for the existing of life. __3__Therefore, “follow the water” has been NASA’s chief guideline for the exploration of a red planet. Although Mars experiences __4__seasons like on Earth and as polar caps which composed __5__of carbon dioxide and water ice, today it is bone-dry and frigidly cold. But evidence is rapidly accumulating that Mars is once __6__much wetter, with a more clement climate.
This evidence comes from orbiting satellites and from data collected by roving landers.Since the 1970s, space probes of Mars have revealed __7__numerous features apparently craved by flowing water, such as winding, branched valleys resembling driedout streambeds and giant outflow channels gouged by catastrophic floods.Recent high-resolution imagery from the Mars Odyssey Themis reveal numerous examples of branched valleys that from __8__tightly-packed integrated drainage system. These channels

答案：
1、much—more 或much后加more 句法错误，后半部分出现了than，前半部分用比较级
2、on---beyond 词汇错误，“地球以外的生命”不因该用on。
3、existing—existence 此行混淆，“生命的存在”应用existence。
4、a---the
5、which去掉或which后加are，句法错误。
6、is---was 句法错误，时态错误。虽然主句的时态是现在进行时，但是从句中有时间状语once，所以用过去时。
7、of-----to 词汇错误，probe与to，into搭配。
8、reveal---reveals 主谓不一致。
9、origins-----originate 词性混淆。Origin是名词意思是“起源，由来”，动词形式为originate意思是“引起，起源”
10、comparative---comparable词汇错误。句意为：谷地网络呈现变种度量特征，包括与陆地流域盆地相似的网状密度。应用可比较的comparable。
