【解析】

試題分析：本文向我們介紹了世界上的第一批生命是出現(xiàn)在海洋里，緊接著慢慢地在海洋的周圍有一些近海的植物，然后出現(xiàn)了陸地上的植物，這樣陸地上的植物就為動物的出現(xiàn)提供了生存環(huán)境及食物，隨之，世界上的森林就多了起來。

 根據(jù)Life on land probably began about 430 million years ago,這里提到生命，上下文的呼應(yīng)，故選J。

 根據(jù)but, in fact, no animals could have been living if plants had not been on land first.我們很可能想起陸地上的生命是動物，而實際上不是，故選F。

 這是動詞短語supply…with為……提供，植物為第一批的動物提供生存環(huán)境和食物，故選I。

 植物為第一批的動物提供生存環(huán)境和食物，故選H。

 根據(jù)我們的常識，植物是能夠得到和儲存能量的，故選E。

 藻類之后的第一批植物也是需要接近水，來進行繁殖，故選D。

 根據(jù)我們的常識植物發(fā)展了它們的根，故選A。

 因為植物需要長高去吸引陽光，故選G。

 是短語be covered with 被……所覆蓋，世界上覆蓋著森林，故選C。
