So there was never a single moment when the "first chicken"suddenly appeared. But if we really must draw a line somewhere,scientists say it would be inside an egg.28 The bird growing inside was close enough to be called a chicken.So that egg existed before the chicken that hatched from it. 29 Scientists say that animals began laying eggs about 540 million years ago-long before any chicken walked on the earth. To sum up,30Look at the long story of life on our planet:the egg appeared in this story hundreds of millions of years before the chicken.It also shows that nature is a slow process. A.The egg is part of a very old story of life. B.Its wild ancestors were birds from Southeast Asia. C.According to the best research,the answer is the egg. D.Actually,eggs have a much longer history than chickens. E.At some point,two non-chickens(还不算鸡的鸟)produced an egg with new DNA. c 配对阅读。左栏五位同学的情况介绍，右栏是关于音乐的好处的介绍。请为每位同学选择 最合适的一项，并在答题卡上将对应选项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 31Li Hua has a big test next week.She is A.Music is very useful for learning.If very stressed and often feels sad.She you listen to soft music while wants to find an easy way to relax. studying,you can remember new 第4页共7页 32.Wang Fang is a new student in Class words more easily. 2.She is too shy to talk to her B.Singing together can be a good way to classmates and doesn't know how to break the ice and quickly help people make new friends. feel close to each other. 33.Zhang Peng loves music very much, C.Singing in a group helps us feel but he is not good at singing.He is connected to others and part of afraid that his classmates will laugh at something larger. him,so he never sings.
