23、ers say. This ancestor may have even been able to walk underwater, they add. These findings reveal that a key step in the evolution of back limbs happened in fish,challenging previous theories that such appendages（附肢）evolved only after the move to land.Scientists investigated fossils（化石）of a 375-mil
24、lion-year-old fish known as Tiktaalik,discovered in 2004 in northern Canadas Ellesmere Island. Possessing a broad flat head andsharp teeth, Tiktaalik resembled a cross between a fish and a crocodile, growing to a length of 9 feet (2.7 meters) as it hunted for its food in shallow freshwater. This anc
25、ient creature was undoubtedly a fish. However, it also had features seen in modern tetrapods（四足动物） This ancient fish had large forefins and shoulders, elbows and partial wrists, enabling it to support itself on ground. This makes it the best-known example of a link between finned（鳍）animals and limbe

Until now, the only fossils of Tiktaalik researchers had examined were of its front parts. To find
28、out more about the fish, researchers investigated additional blocks of rock recovered from the dig site where Tiktaalik was discovered. Although some of these blocks were first dug in 2004, researchers did not look at them more closely until recently, mainly because the blocks did not seem to contai

30、 big, strong pelvic（胃盆）bones with similarities to early tetrapods. I was expecting to find a diminutive back fin and pelvis, study lead author Neil Shubin, a paleontologist at the University of Chicago, told LiveScience. Seeing the huge pelvis set me back a bit-I looked at it again and again, becaus
31、e I was quite surprised. Shubin cautioned that Tiktaalik is not the ancestor of all limbed vertebrates. It is currently the closest known relative, but not the only, direct ancestor, he said. It is more like our closest cousin.63According to the passage, previous findings show that A. the evolution

36、tudents.I was surprised by how different Koreas public high schools are from Americas. Korean high schools can be all-girls, all-boys or co-ed (男女同校的）unlike our standard co-ed high schools. There are three grades: “go 1（10th) ”， “go 2” (1l th) and “go 3” (12th). “Go”is the first syllable of the word
37、 “go-deung hakkyo”, which, simply translated, is “high school”.In America, unless you want to go to a private school, you dont have to take an entrance exam. In Korea, however, students must take a test to get in because of the many choices of schools. Another difference I couldnt help but notice wa
38、s the students appearance. With very few exceptions, all wear uniforms. A name tag (标牌)with the students name, grade and homeroom number must also be worn. Girls skirts cant be above the upper part of the knee, and it is forbidden to dye (染)your hair or wear accessories (装饰品)except small earrings. T

There are no levels in the subjects and the teachers are the ones who switch classrooms. They just have ten-min
41、ute breaks between subjects. In each class, students are ranked by their grades. This causes strict competition, and Korean students do a lot of studying. To help them, all schools have extra study classes after school. One other fact that helped me appreciate living in America is that Koreans have
42、school on Saturdays. Although its only a half day, I think I speak for most Americans when I say we could never imagine ourselves in school on a Saturday.Koreas public high schools are clearly different from Americas. I had imagined them to be just like our schools, but now I have a clear picture of
43、 how different they are.59. How many main differences are mentioned between Koreas public high school and Americas?A. 3. B. 4. C. 5. D. 6.60.
