You might ask, what do trees have to do with peace? “Many wars are fought over resources (资源),” Dr. Maathai said as

28、she accepted the prize. “If we conserve resources better, the fighting will stop.”Dr. Maathai was born in Kenya in 1940. Unlike most African women, she went to school. High school woke up a hunger in her for more knowledge. She went to college in Kansas and earned a masters degree in science from th

29、e University of Pittsburgh. She became the first Kenyan woman ever to earn a Ph.D. Later, Dr. Maathai taught animal science at Kenyas University of Nairobi.

35、arles Darwin (1809 1882) published On the Origin of Species in 1859, scientists have vastly improved their knowledge of natural history. However, a lot of information is still the subject of speculation, and scientists can still only make educated guesses at certain things. One subject that they gue

36、ss 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 (古生物学家) Alfred Romer a century ago became a hot topic once again. Sea animals would have been forced into these

37、 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 accomplish the transition (过渡) from sea to land. Romer thought that tidal pools might have led to fish gaining limbs. Romer called these earliest four

38、-footed animals “tetrapods” (四足动物). 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 (海洋学家) at Uppsala University in Sweden. She announced at the 2018 Ocean Sciences Meeting in Oregon,

39、US, on Feb 15 that by using computer software, her team had managed to link Romers theory to places where fossil deposits (化石沉积) 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 mil

40、lion 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 the UKs Un

41、iversity of Bangor ocean scientist Mattias Green. As he told Science: “After a few days in these pools, you become food or you run out of food the fish that had large limbs had an advantage because they could flip (空翻) themselves back in the water”. As is often the case, however, there are others wh

42、o find the theory less convincing. Cambridge University paleontologist Jennifer Clark, speaking to Nature magazine, seemed unconvinced. “Its only one of many ideas for the origin of land-dwelling (陆地栖息的) tetrapods, any or all of which may have been a part of the answer,” she said.32. Who first propo

43、sed the theory that fish might have gained limbs because of tidal pools? A. Charles Darwin. B. Alfred Romer. C. Hannah Byrne. D. Steven Balbus.33. Why were tides stronger 400 million years ago than they are today according to Steven Balbus?A. Earth moved faster than it does today. B. Earth was close

44、r to the sun than it is today.C. Earth was closer to the moon than it is today. D. Earth had larger oceans than it does today.34. What does the underlined word “stranded” in Paragraph 8 mean?A. Trapped. B. Settled. C. Survived. D. Adapted.35. What is the focus of the article?A. The proposal of a new

45、 scientific theory.B. The arguments over a scientific theory.C. Some new evidence to support a previous theory.D. A new discovery that questions a previous theory.E根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Smarter StudyingHow did you learn how to ride your bike? Someone probably gave you a few lesson
