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.” 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. 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。 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. 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.6.閱讀理解故選C。根據(jù)最后一段中的“But he was up for a visit recently.
