问题     The idea of "evolution" is very clearly shown in the story of horse. Millions of years ago, the horse called Eohippus with small teeth and four toes(脚趾) lived in the ground where the plants were easy to chew. Because of changing climate and plants, horses with larger teeth, three toes, till one toe appeared. Finally Eohippus died out and the one-toed survived so well over the grasslands by the time the first man appeared on earth. Darwin considered all modern animals had gradually developed and so had man. The earliest men, with sloping (倾斜) foreheads and much smaller brains, like Eohippus seem to have died out—the weak ones died out and the well-equipped ones survived (继续存在). Also, like the animals on the different Galapgos Islands, men developed differently according to the condition in which they lived. People living in very hot countries developed black skins, which are good protection against the sun’s rays, and people like the Mongols and Eskimos living in very cold climates have flatter faces and rounder bodies than people else where, to protect them from the cold.
Which statement is not true?

选项 A、The earliest men differed from men today.
B、Modern man has developed from a simpler animal of its kind.
C、The earliest men had much smaller brains than men today.
D、A large number of the earliest men have also survived though they were weaker.

答案D

解析 由文章中的“the earliest men…the well-equipped ones survied”可知D选项是错误的。而其他3项都可以在原文中找到。故正确的答案为D。
