Life on land probably began about 430 million years ago, though it has existed in the wate

Life on land probably began about 430 million years ago, though it has existed in the water for perhaps as much as 3,000 million years. When we think of the first thing on land, we probably think of strange animals coming out of the oceans, but in fact no animals could have been living if plants had not been on land first. Plants had to be on land before animals arrived. They supplied the first land animals with the surrounding and food necessity, since they, the plants, are the only form of life that is able to get and store energy.
　　The first plants to exist out of the water were probably certain kinds of algae（海藻）which were followed by other plants that grew close to the ground and needed water in which to reproduce. Once the move to land had been made, however, evolution（进化）took place quickly. By the end of 100 million years, plants had developed their roots（根）,and some had got tree -like forms since height was very important in gaining sunlight. About 300 million years ago, much of the world was covered with forests of huge trees. In most ways they were like modern trees. They had roots, leaves, wood, but mostly they had not developed seeds.
　【小题1】The main idea of the first paragraph is .A．life on land probably began 430 years agoB．the first animal on land came from oceansC．there wouldn't be animals without plantsD．plants are the only form of life that is able to get and store energy　【小题2】Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A．Algae has existed for more than 430 million years.B．It is impossible that algae might be the earliest plant on land.C．Plants get food from animals in the oceans.D．Evolution began after animals appeared on land.　【小题3】Plants with roots appeared about million years ago.A．430B．300C．330D．100　【小题4】According to the passage, appeared earlier than .A．apples; orangesB．oranges; applesC．oranges; rosesD．algae; wheatC

(答案→)C 解析：【小题1】第一段有这句话：no animals could have been living if plants hadn’t been on land first.【小题2】第一段说陆地上的生命出现于430 million years ago，第二段说海藻是最早的植物。【小题3】最早出现的植物在四亿三千万年前，一亿年后植物开始生根，即三亿三千万年前。【小题4】从第二段最后可知，长根的植物比结子的植物要早,因此选D。

我也是这个答案
