6.Life on land probably began about 430million years ago,thought it had existed in the water for perhaps as long as 3,000million years.When we think of the first life on land,we probably think of strange animals coming out of the oceans,but,in fact,no animals could have been living if plants had not been on land first.Plants had to be on land before animals arrived.They supplied the first land animals with food necessary to live,since they-the plants are the only form of life that is able to get and store energy.
The first plants to exist out of the water were probably certain kinds of algae(海藻)which were followed by other plants that grew close to the ground near water and needed water in which to reproduce.Once the move to land had been made,however,evolution(進化)took place quickly.By the end of 100million years,plants had developed their roots,and some developed tall tree-like forms,since height was very important in competition for sunlight.About 300million years ago,much of the world was covered with forests of huge trees.
In most ways they were like modern trees.They had roots,leaves,wood,but mostly they had not developed seeds.

分析 本文主要講述動植物的起源,以及時間發(fā)展過程.
解答 29-31 CAC
29 C 細節(jié)題. 根據(jù)第一段no animals could have been living if plants hadn't been on land first.可知沒有植物,動物根本不能存在,故選C.
30 A 細節(jié)題.第一段說陸地上的生命出現(xiàn)于430 million years ago,第二段說海藻是最早的植物.故選A.
31 C 細節(jié)題. 根據(jù)文章第一段Life on land probably began about 430million years ago,thought it had existed in the water for perhaps as long as 3,000million years.最早出現(xiàn)的植物在四億三千萬年前,一億年后植物開始生根,即三億三千萬年前. 故選C.
點評 做閱讀理解時要快速的瀏覽全文,把握文章主旨大意,帶著問題回到原文,尋找細節(jié)或概括相應(yīng)的答案,最后要理清作者寫作思路.
