　　This question is worth 2 points. This passage discusses fossils that helpto explain the likely origins of cetaceanswhales, porpoises, and dolphins.

　　Answer Choices

　　1. Recent discoveries of fossils have helped to show the link between landmammals and cetaceans.

　　2. The discovery of Ambulocetus natans provided evidence for a whale thatlived both on land and at sea.

　　3. The skeleton of Basilosaurus was found in what had been the Tethys Sea,an area rich in fossil evidence.

　　4. Pakicetus is the oldest fossil whale yet to be found.

　　5. Fossils thought to be transitional forms between walking mammals andswimming whales were found.

　　6. Ambulocetus’ hind legs were used for propulsion in the water.

　　這是每篇文章末了的一個大題，基於全文的基本舉行發問，以是，咱們可以依據文章的癥結句，先來斷定這篇文章的重要內容.如下摘選了文章的每一個天然段的癥結句，咱們一路來看一下：

　　THE ORIGINS OF CETACEANS

　　第一天然段：It should be obvious that cetaceanswhales, porpoises, anddolphins-are mammals. They breathe through lungs, not through gills, and givebirth to live young. …

　　第二天然段：Very exciting discoveries have finally__ allowed scientists toreconstruct the most likely origins of cetaceans. …

　　第三天然段：The fossil consists of a complete skull of an archaeocyte, an extinctgroup of ancestors of modern cetaceans. Although limited to a skull, thePakicetus fossil provides precious details on the origins of cetaceans. …

　　第四天然段：Another major discovery was made in Egypt in 1989. Several skeletonsof another early whale, Basilosaurus, were found in sediments left by the TethysSea and now exposed in the Sahara desert. …

　　第五天然段：An even more exciting find was reported in 1994, also from Pakistan.The now extinct whale Ambulocetus natans ("the walking whale that swam") livedin the Tethys Sea 49 million years ago. …

　　起首，第一天然段綜述關於鯨類動物是哺乳動物的究竟，到了第二天然段開端揭露鯨類動物來源的詳細細節，說到科學家有一些主要發明，到了第三天然段開端交代第一種化石的名稱Pakicetus.第四天然段又提到另一種化石發明，名字為Basilosaurus，末了一天然段提到第三種化石發明Ambulocetusnatans，總結來講，這篇文章經由過程先容三個化石來揭露了鯨類的來源.

　　接下來，咱們來看如下選項，起首來看第一個選項：

　　1.Recent discoveries of fossils have helped to show the link between landmammals and cetaceans.(比來的化石發明贊助說明了陸生哺乳動物與鯨類之間的幹系)，此選項歸納綜合了本文的重要信息，是以可以看成小結題的謎底.

　　2. The discovery ofAmbulocetus natans provided evidence for a whale that lived both on land and atsea.( 化石Ambulocetus natans 的發明供給了關於鯨及生存在陸地上又生存在海裏的根據)，Ambulocetus natans是本文三個主要化石之一， 且在本選項中表現了Ambulocetus natans 化石對付揭露鯨類來源的主要感化，是以看成小總結信息從而作為準確選項.

　　3.The skeleton of Basilosaurus was found in what had been the Tethys Sea, an arearich in fossil evidence.(Basilosaurus 在一個叫做Tethys Sea之處被發明，這個處所有許多的化石)，此選項中固然提到了本文的一個主要化石Basilosaurus，然則並無陳說Basilosaurus對付揭露鯨類來源的感化，是以不克不及看成準確謎底.換句話說，只提到Basilosaurus 化石所發明的所在是不敷以作為本文的小結信息的.

　　4. Pakicetusis the oldest fossil whale yet to be found.(Pakicetus是迄今為止發明的最陳腐的鯨類化石)，此選項也提到了本文中主要化石Pakicetus，但並無提到Pakicetus對付揭露鯨類來源的感化，是以不克不及作為小結題的主要選項.

　　5. Fossils thought to be transitional formsbetween walking mammals and swimming whales werefound.(被以為是陸生哺乳動物與水生鯨類之間的過渡化石被發明)，此選項歸納綜合了本文的重要內容，本文的宗旨內容等於報告鯨類本來是陸生哺乳動物的究竟，是以5是準確選項.

　　6. Ambulocetus’ hind legs were used for propulsion in thewater.(Ambulocetus natans 的後腿用來在水中進步)，本選項貌似也提到了主要化石Ambulocetusnatans，然則Ambulocetus natans 的後腿用來在水中進步是一個細節信息，是以不克不及作為準確謎底.以是，本題的準確謎底為125.
