以下是引用hsyeng在2006-8-12 2:06:00的发言:
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?
- 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.
答案給A請大家幫忙解答~ 请问A选项中的between sixty million and fifty million years ago,按原文不是说这段期间已经有能力drink salt water,为什么不能在隔着海洋的地方发现化石呢?而且some early whale species不能在咸水久待,那也只是some不具代表性吧?
