The traditional view of the first terrestrial organisms is based on megafossils — relatively large specimens of essential whole plants and animals Vascular plants, related to modern seed plants and ferns, left the first comprehensive megafossil record Because of this, it has been commonly assumed that the sequence of terrestrialization reflected the evolution of 10 modern terrestrial ecosystems In this view, primitive vascular plants first colonized the margins of continental waters, followed by animals that fed on the plants, and lastly by the animals that preyed on the plant-eaters Moreover, the megafossils suggest that terrestrial life appeared and diversified explosively near the boundary between the Silurian and the Devonian periods, a little more than 400 million years ago Recently, however, paleontologists have been taking a closer look at sediments below this SilurianDevonian geological boundary It turns out that some fossils can be extracted from these sediments by putting the rock in an acid bath The technique has uncovered new evidence from sediments that were deposited near the shores of the ancient oceans — plant microfossils and microscopic pieces of small animals In many instances, the specimens are less than one-tenth of a millimeter in diameter Although they were entombed in the rocks for hundreds of millions of years, many of the fossils consist of the organic remains of the organism These discovered fossils have not only revealed the existence of previously unknown organisms, but have also pushed back these dates for the invasion of land by multicellular organisms Our view about the nature of the early plants and animal communities are now being revised And with those revisions come new speculations about the first terrestrial life-forms Cau 1: The word “drastic” is closest in meaning to A widespread B: radical C: progressive D: risky Cau 2: According to the theory that the author calls “the traditional view”, what was the first form of life to appear on land?’ A Bacteria B: Meat-eating animals C: Plant-eating animals D: Vascular plants Cau 3: According to the passage, what happened about 400 million years ago?" A Many terrestrial life-forms died out B:New life-forms on land developed at a rapid rate C:The megafossils were destroyed by floods D: Life began to develop in the ancient seas Cau 4: The word “extracted” is closest in meaning to ` A located B: preserved C: removed D: studied Cau 5: What can be inferred from the passage about the fossils mentioned 1n the lines 17-20?!
