单选题 The word "untenable" ( Line 3) in the last paragraph of the passage most probably means __________.
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】语义理解题。题目询问出现在文中最后一段的单词“untenable”最可能的意思是什么。倒数第一段第2句“Once man came to be seen as developing in the process of evolution,the idea of a substance which is contained in his essence seemed untenable.(一旦把人看作是在进化过程中不断发展的,那么,认为在人的本性中含有某些特性的观点似乎就______了。)”显然最合乎逻辑的选项是“站不住脚的”,“不能防卫的”,答案是[D]。
