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.2．閱讀理解故選B。(3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。s the real Santa!’”可知，邁克遇到一個圣誕老人，他認(rèn)為這個只是穿著圣誕老人的一個人而已；但在商場，碰到另一個圣誕老人，他卻認(rèn)為這個是真的，所以推知父母對邁克對圣誕老人的態(tài)度感到疑惑。根據(jù)第二段中的“That39。故選D。根據(jù)第一段中的“A week later, she ran into a different Santa in a mall.
