7、 event,such as a volcanic eruption or meteorite strike,which could explain ichthyosaursabrupt disappearance from the fossil record.Now researchers have new explanation for the lizard fishs demise:They had lost their ability to adapt to a swiftly changing climate.The aquatic lizards thrived throughou
8、t the early years of the dinosaurs in the Permian,Triassic and Jurassic periods.Then came the Cretaceous period.That was a turbulent(动荡不安的)time to live on Earth.The poles were nearly ice-free,causing sea levels to reach great heights.Temperatures were among the hottest the planet has seen in the las
9、t 250 million years.Scientists have blamed the demise of the ichthyosaurs on their inability to keep up with other predators or the loss of key prey species.But a new study by Valentin Fischer,a paleontologist who studies ichthyosaurs at the University of Liege in Belgium,and his colleagues says nei
10、ther of these explanations could account for the scale and speed of the die off.Writing in the journal Nature Communications,Fischer and his colleagues argue that the unstable climate contributed to the disappearance of ichthyosaurs during a 5-million to 6-million-year window in the Cretaceous known
11、 as the Cenomanian stage.“While the rising temperatures and the higher sea didnt had a direct effect on the ichthyosaurs,they could have played an indirect role in their decline,”Fischer said.“The changing climate could have made their food more scarce,or disrupted migratory routes and birthing plac

13、osaur evolution based on museum specimens and a review of information in previously published studies.What became clear was that the ichthyosaurs extinction coincided with global climate shifts and the animals slower rate of evolution,which left them unable to adapt as their environment changed,the
14、study found.“They were probably very well adapted to their niches,and their environments were probably pretty stable,” Fischer said.“That could have lowered the pressure of natural selection and thus lowered their rates of evolution.”Think of the Cenomanian stage as a transition period.语篇解读本文是说明文,题材
15、是科普知识类。本文介绍了鱼龙(ichthyosaur)灭绝的原因。5The underlined word “That” in Paragraph 6 refers to the period of .APermian BTriassicCJurassic DCretaceous解析代词指代题。根据第五段最后一句“Then came the Cretaceous period.”可知,鱼龙一直活到了白垩纪时代。第六段紧接着说,这是地球上生存的动荡时期。可见 that 指白垩纪时代。故选D项。6Fischer and his colleagues came to their conclusion
16、 by .Amaking comparisonsBconducting experimentsCanalyzing samplesDobserving weather changes根据倒数第四段“They reached this conclusion by comparing the geological record of the Cretaceous to a newly reconstructed history of ichthyosaur evolution.”可知,Fischer 和他的同事们是通过比较得出结论的。故选A项。7Which of the following sen
