When one considers the many ways by which organisms are completely destroyed after death, it is remarkable that fossils are as common as they are. Attack by scavengers and bacteria, chemical decay, and destruction by erosion and other geologic agencies make the odds against preservation very high. However, the chances of escaping complete destruction are vastly improved if the organism happens to have a mineralized skeleton and dies in a place where it can be quickly buried by sediment. Both of these conditions are often found on the ocean floors, where shelled invertebrates (organisms without spines) flourish and are covered by the continuous rain of sedimentary particles. Although most fossils are found in marine sedimentary rocks, they also are found in terrestrial deposits left by streams and lakes. On occasion, animals and plants have been preserved after becoming immersed in tar or quicksand, trapped in ice or lava flows, or engulfed by rapid falls of volcanic ash.
In paragraph 1, what is the author's purpose in providing examples of how organisms are destroyed?
A. To emphasize how surprising it is that so many fossils exist
B. To introduce a new geologic theory of fossil preservation
C. To explain why the fossil record until now has remained incomplete
D. To compare how fossils form on land and in water
题干问的是 给有机物是如何被破坏的例子 目的是什么，目的肯定是为了支持某个观点，而不是为了说这个例子 而说这个例子。大家可以直接去读选项，看哪个像抽象的观点？（观点该怎么识别呢？包含态度和感情色彩的就是观点）
A是强调，B是介绍，C是解释原因，D是比较，这样来看的话A和D态度或者感情色彩比较明显，很可能在这两个中间出。那么自习来看一下A和D具体是什么意思呢？A：强调化石能保存到现在还是挺让人惊讶的；D：比较了化石在陆地和水里是如何形成的
其实这段话的段句已经说出了主旨了，段句remarkable这个词非常重要，大家在阅读段句时，一定要重点去抓形容词，尤其是表达感情色彩的词。
那么这个主旨句的意思是：化石保存还挺难的，能保存下来就很让人remarkable了。那么这个remarkable和A中的surprising 是一个意思。
这个题其实并不难，但是木有理解修辞目的题考点的同学常会错选到其他选项上，
B 化石保存的理论—没提及；C 解释为什么化石记录不完整；D 化石在水陆分别是如何形成的。 这三个意思在文章甚至都木有出现只言片语。所以，同学们今后在做修辞目的题的时候一定要抓住原文的主要内容，这样用排除法就能的选出正确选项来啦！
