第一节：阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。 A
These days，it's easy to fly across oceans for a vacation.Centuries ago，however，crossing the open seas required planning，handmade boats，and courage.
Scientists and historians have long been looking for clues to explain who crossed which oceans first.When it comes to travelling between Polynesia and South America，chickens may have been among the first ocean voyagers，according to new evidence.
After studying an ancient chicken bone，anthropologists(人类学家) from the University of Auckland in New Zealand now say that people (and chickens) traveled from Polynesia to what is now Chile about 620 years ago.The Inca people were already living in South America at that time，but the Polynesians would have been the first to get there by sea.Previous theories claimed that European explorers and their chickens sailed to South America first，but those voyagers didn't arrive until about a century later.
