Whales originated in the freshwater lakes and rivers of ancient Asia about sixty million years ago. Not until about ten million years later did species of whales develop specialized kidneys enabling them to drink salt water. Although fossil evidence shows that some early whale species that lacked such kidneys sometimes swam in the Earth's saltwater oceans, these species must have had to return frequently to freshwater rivers to drink.

Which of the following is most strongly supported by the information given?

正确答案: A

哪位牛牛能讲解一下这道题的逻辑关系

22. GWD27-Q22:

Whales originated in the freshwater lakes and rivers of ancient Asia about sixty million years ago.  Not until about ten million years later did species of whales develop specialized kidneys enabling them to drink salt water.  Although fossil evidence shows that some early whale species that lacked such kidneys sometimes swam in the Earth’s saltwater oceans, these species must have had to return frequently to freshwater rivers to drink.

Which of the following is most strongly supported by the information given?

A.      Fossils of whale species dating from between sixty million and fifty million years ago will not be found on continents that were at the time separated from ancient Asia by wide expanses of ocean.

B.       Among whale fossils that date from later than about fifty million years ago, none are fossils of whale species that drank only fresh water.

C.      Fossils of whale species that drank fresh water will not be found in close proximity to fossils of whale species that drank salt water.

D.      The earliest whales that drank salt water differed from fresh-water-drinking whales only in their possession of specialized kidneys.

E.       Between sixty million and fifty million years ago, the freshwater lakes and rivers in which whales originated were gradually invaded by salt water.

答案是A。是因为这些陆地在被海洋从亚洲隔开的过程中鲸鱼会洄游到亚洲的淡水中吗?不是很清楚,感觉这道题很绕,哪位能讲清楚?谢了。

对,理解正确。因为鲸鱼发源于亚洲,所以在5千到六千万年,也就是发源不久的年代中,鲸鱼不可能越过海洋,到另外的大陆去,所以说明了这个时候他们还不具有咸水生存的能力。
