一阅读理解
Its believed that trees appeared hundreds of millions of years ago. Specifically, five tree fossils from 350 million years ago were found in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. “These new and unusual fossil trees bear a surprising shape, and they show signs of a period of life on Earth about which we know little,” said Robert Gastaldo, a researcher who led the study.
Co⁃authors Olivia King and Matthew Stimson unearthed the first of these ancient trees in 2017 while doing fieldwork in New Brunswick. One of the specimens (样本) they discovered is among a handful of cases in the entire plant fossil record — covering more than 400 million years — in which a trees branches and leaves are still connected to its trunk.
Few tree fossils that date back to Earths earliest forests have ever been found, according to Gastaldo. Their discovery helps fill in some missing pieces of the fragmentary fossil record. Most ancient tree specimens are relatively small and often discovered in the form of a fossilized trunk with a root system. Finding a well⁃preserved tree that could have been 15 feet tall left the researchers shocked. About the size of a small car, that fossil was covered by a sandstone rock.
“The unique fossilization of the trees is likely due to an earthquake⁃caused landslide that took place in an ancient lake,” Stimson said. “These trees were alive when the earthquake happened. They were covered very quickly after that, at the bottom of the lake, and then the lake went back to normal.”
Fossils like these are not just useful for helping humans understand how life changed in the past, they can also help scientists figure out where life on our planet might be headed next. According to Gastaldo, this particular discovery suggests that trees of the period were starting to live in new environments that we didnt know about before. He sees this as a sign that plants were experimenting with how they adapted to their living conditions and influenced their surroundings. The earthquake that probably led to the trees fossilization also offers new geological evidence of what may have been happening in Earths systems at the same moment in time.
1. What can the newly discovered fossils primarily provide?
A.Hidden details of the Earths early life.
B.Some data on changes in forest areas.
C.Evidence for common environmental risks.
D.Information on prehistoric human activities.
2. What does the underlined word “fragmentary” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Incomplete. B.Independent.
C.Unnecessary. D.Impractical.
3. What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us about the tree fossils?
A.Their amazing appearance.
B.Their formation process.
C.Their strong survival ability.
D.Their impact on lake ecosystems.
4. What does Gastaldos explanation of the tree fossils imply?
A.Trees fossils influence Earths ecosystems.
B.Plant fossils can be easily collected in the lake.
C.Earthquake is the main cause of trees fossilization.
D.Living things and environments are interconnected.
