They aim to challenge today39。s shortterm thinking and the brief attention spans of modern consumers, forcing people into considering works more deliberately.”可知，慢速藝術(shù)的目的是鼓勵人們更多地關(guān)注藝術(shù)作品。故選D。(4)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Like the Future Library, the century cameras are very much a project for cities, since it39。s in cities that time runs fastest and the pace of life is fastest. ‘Since I started living in a city, I39。ve somehow been quite disconnected,’”可知，安妮感覺城市生活是忙碌的。故選D?！军c評】本題考點涉及推理判斷題型的考查，是一篇文化類閱讀，要求考生根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 Since English biologist Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859, scientists have vastly improved their knowledge of natural history. However, a lot of information is still of the speculation, and scientists can still only make educated guesses at certain things. One subject that they guess about is why some 400 million years ago, animals in the sea developed limbs (肢) that allowed them to move onto and live on land. Recently, an idea that occurred to the US paleontologist (古生物學(xué)家) Alfred Romer a century ago became a hot topic once again. Homer thought that tidal (潮汐的) pools might have led to fish gaining limbs. Sea animals would have been forced into these pools by strong tides. Then, they would have been made either to adapt to their new environment close to land or die. The fittest among them grew to acplish the transition (過渡) from sea to land. Romer called these earliest fourfooted animals “tetrapods”. Science has always thought that this was a credible theory, but only recently has there been strong enough evidence to support it. Hannah Byrne is an oceanographer (海洋學(xué)家) at Uppsala University in Sweden. She announced at the 2018 Ocean Sciences Meeting in Oregon, US, that by using puter software, her team had managed to link Homer39。s theory to places where fossil deposits (沉積物) of the earliest tetrapods were found. According to the magazine Science, in 2014, Steven Balbus, a scientist at the University of Oxford in the UK, calculated that 400 million years ago, when the move from land to sea was achieved, tides were stronger than they are today. This is because the planet was 10 percent closer to the moon than it is now. The creatures stranded in the pools would have been under the pressure of “survival of the fittest”, explained Mattias Green, an ocean scientist at the UK39。s University of Bangor. As he told Science, “After a few days in these pools, you bee food or you run out of food... the fish that had large limbs had an advantage because they could flip (翻轉(zhuǎn)) themselves back in the water.” As is often the case, however, there are others who find the theory less convincing. Cambridge University39。s paleontologist Jennifer Clark, speaking to Nature magazine, seemed unconvinced. “It39。s only one of many ideas for the origin of landbased tetrapods, any or all of which may have been a part of the answer,” she said.（1）Who first proposed the theory that fish might have gained limbs because of tidal pools?
