 Text 2: 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.
60. Of the animals with backbones, the first to appear were
A. mammals	B. fish	C. amphibians	D. birds
61. In converting to land life, animals acquired
A. eyes	B. lungs	C. tails	D. warm blood
62 .The word “descendants” in line 6 is closest in meaning to
A. descenders	B. offspring	C. grandchildren	D. ancestors
63. The passage suggests that the first amphibians used their limbs to
A. swim	B. crawl	C. jump	D. run
64 .The adaptation process described in the article was accomplished
A. over millions of years	
B. through biological changes	
C. by the receding of the seas	
D. over millions of years and through biological changes
