12. For years scientists have been scanning the skies in the hope of finding life on other planets. But in spite of the ever-increasing sophistication of the equipment they employ, some of it costing hundreds of millions of dollars not the first shred of evidence of such life has been forthcoming And there is no reason to think that these scientists will be any more successful in the future no matter how much money is invested in the search The dream of finding extraterrestrial life is destined to remain a dream as science's experience up to this point should indicate.

Which one of the following most accurately states the main point of the argument? (A) There is no reason to believe that life exists on other planets (B) The equipment that scientists employ is not as sophisticated as it should be (C) Scientists searching for extraterrestrial life will not find it (D) Only if scientists had already found evidence of life on other planest would continued search be justified (E) We should not spend money on sophisticated equipment to aid in the search for extraterrestrial life

........And there is no reason to think that these scientists will be any more successful in the future no matter how much money is invested in the search. The dream of finding extraterrestrial life is destined to remain a dream as science's experience up to this point should indicate. "

画线句子可能是导致你选E, 但是注意，对于类似的句子，主句是重点, NO MATTER HOW引导的从句是次要的

this principle applies to the pevious sentence as well

The last sentence is the conclusion of the argument
