Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to 
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions: 	 
 In the very distant geological past all animals were aquatic. The very first vertebrates, or animals with backbones, of which we have any fossil record, lived in the water. These vertebrates, the fish, were adapted to underwater living. Their streamlined bodies were covered with scales to reduce surface friction: they had muscular tails so that they could swim swiftly in such a dense medium as water; and they were endowed with gills for breathing underwater.
Descendants of fish-type ancestors crossed the seashore barrier and accommodated themselves to life on land. As amphibians, they possessed limbs instead of fins and lungs instead of gills. But they never became completely free of the bonds that tied them to the water; even today many amphibians return to the water to lay their eggs.
Millions of years after the first clumsy amphibians crawled over the land, newer types of land dwellers appeared; these animals gave rise to the present-day reptiles and mammals. They were more completely converted for land dwelling, with bodies and biological activities far different from those of fish. With these special adaptations, mammals have been able to colonize the woods and meadows, the deserts and high mountains, often far removed from the sea.
Question 40: Of the animals with backbones, the first to appear were____.
A. mammals	B. fish	C. amphibians	D. birds
Question 41:. Fish are suited to underwater life because of their
A. scales	B. gills	C. streamlines shape	D.All of the above
Question 42: In converting to land life, animals acquired____.
A. eyes	B. lungs	C. tails	D. warm blood

A. descenders	B. offspring	C. grandchildren	D. ancestors

A. swim	B. crawl	C. jump	D. run
Question 45:An example of an amphibian’s incomplete adaptation to land life is its____.
A. return to water to lay eggs	B. scales-covered skin	
C. need to keep its skin wet	 	D. inability to breath air
Question 46: Animals found desert living possible only____.
A. when they became amphibious	C. after they could walk on two feet
B. if they migrated to the sea periodically	D. when they were fully adapted
Question 47:The seashore was a barrier for descendants of fish type creatures in that____.
A. the land once rose much higher above the sea	C. every attempt to cross it ended in death
