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.（英語）高三英語閱讀理解專項訓(xùn)練100(附答案)及解析一、高中英語閱讀理解1．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. 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. 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.s theory to places where fossil deposits (沉積物) of the earliest tetrapods were found. 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。 As is often the case, however, there are others who find the theory less convincing. Cambridge University39。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?

While cool air from these shops is refreshing to pedestrians, it carries a cost. Energy is used in the air conditioning process. In homes built under the smallhouse policy in New Territories, the ceiling may be too low for ceiling fans. If the 9meter maximum building height regulation were relaxed, ceiling fans could be fixed to reduce energy use. Current thinking in sustainable building design and operation involves integrated(協(xié)調(diào)統(tǒng)一的) design, that is, bring together all parties to create a building with better performance that achieves energy reduction.s circle of influence. Better solutions are impossible to avoid with integrated design. Buildings would no longer be engineered after the basic architecture was built. Positive project outes may include reduced airconditioning load, reduced power use for electric lighting, and a reduction in the amount of materials used.s the author39。Supportive.Disapproving.Optimistic.Uncaring.（2）Why does the author suggest fixing ceiling fans?
