They were able to store nutrients
They had a sophisticated multicellular structure.
3、The phrase "subjected to" in the passage is closest in
restricted by
distant from
exposed to
combined with
4、What can be inferred from paragraph 3 about ancient green algae?
They lived in a generally wet environment that was sometimes dry
They adapted better to changes in water temperature than did to other changes in the environment.
They inhabited areas that were close to the ocean.
They had lived primarily on land
5、The word "desolate in the passage is closest In meaning to
dusty
hardened
deserted
dried out
6、Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.
Terrestrial plants had the advantages of not having rivals and having easy access to photosynthetic material
The abundance of photosynthetic material made life on land easier for pioneering plants
Once plants had eliminated their competitors and their predators, their evolutionary process proceeded smoothly.
Plant evolution eliminated competitors and made the process of photosynthesis more efficient.
7、According to paragraph 4, which of the following is true about the terrestrial world at the time it was colonized by plants?

it contained a limited supply of carbon dioxide
it had developed 400million years earlier

shared
presented
strengthened
concealed
9、According to paragraph 5, all of the following are problems that early terrestrial plants had to overcomeExcept
a tendency to become dry
the inability to limit surface sunlight
the absence of a structure to support the body of the plant
the inability to transport water and minerals through the plant minerals
10、What purpose does paragraph 5 serve in the larger discussion of the origins of terrestrial plants?
To emphasize how long it took for ancestral plants to adjust to life on land
To disprove the argument that land plants adapted easily to their new terrestrial environment
To explain how plant colonization changed the physical environment of the terrestrial world
To describe how ancestral plants solved the problems they confirmed in colonizing
11、According to Paragraph 6, The adaptation made by terrestrial plants had which of the following effect?
Plants developed reproductive strategies usable in both land and water environment
The plant diversity achieved in water environments diminished on land
Seed plants became the dominant species among plants

13、Look at the four squares [ ] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.

In moving from water to land, ancestral plants overcame many obstacles in order to survive.
A． Neither brown nor red algae are likely to be ancestors of plants because of their difference in pigmentation
B．The instability of freshwater habitats caused marine algae to develop adaptations to their harsh environment.
C. The colonization of land by plants was a major revolution in the history of Earth.
D. Terrestrial plants adjusted to life on land by undergoing structural changes that enabled them to support themselves, resist drying and exchange gases.
E. To colonize new terrestrial habitats, plants needed to create a way of reproducing without water.
F. Once plants had overcome the challenges posed by terrestrial life, they prospered by becoming less diverse.
