97.       (GWD 6-Q40)
It is theoretically possible that bacteria developed on Mars early in its history and that some were carried to Earth by a meteorite.  However, strains of bacteria from different planets would probably have substantial differences in protein structure that would persist over time, and no two bacterial strains on Earth are different enough to have arisen on different planets.  So, even if bacteria did arrive on Earth from Mars, they must have died out.
The argument is most vulnerable to which of the following criticisms?

A. It fails to establish whether bacteria actually developed on Mars.
B. It fails to establish how likely it is that Martian bacteria were transported to Earth.
C. It fails to consider whether there were means other than meteorites by which Martian bacteria could have been carried to Earth.
D. It fails to consider whether all bacteria now on Earth could have arisen from transported Martian bacteria.
E. It fails to consider whether there could have been strains of bacteria that originated on Earth and later died out.


正确答案是D,但我不懂为什么。。。
我当时蒙了个B,求牛人帮忙顺一下思路。。

首先，题目说如果病毒来自于两个星球的话，就会有significant difference，但系由于地球现存的病毒都没有足够的difference让人信服是来自不同星球的。d讲的是如果地球上所有的病毒都来源于mars，他们就不需要different，结论也就被weaken了。

题干中有提到“a steadily increasing per capita consumption of meat”，所以即使人口平稳，meat的消耗量也是上涨的。

“火星或者外星球细菌很特别，特别到跟地球原产细菌有很大的蛋白质区别，一验便知；但目前地球细菌没有任何2只品种的细菌有那么大的蛋白质差异以至于可以辨认他们其中一者来自外星系”
问WEAKEN；

答案D：地球当前细菌全部来自外星系，隐含：你怎么验他都是一个品种的子孙后代，蛋白质差异不可能有多大，
