The earliest immigrants to North America found Indians already l

The earliest immigrants to North America found Indians already living there．The Indians numbered about 500,000 at that time．Their society was a primitive society,but they lived peacefully and welcomed the white strangers to the land．However,these early immigrants from Europe didn't want to share the land with the natives．They killed off many of the Indians,seized their land or pushed them off to lands farther away．Today the Indians,not more than half a million,live in poverty and misery on the land on which they were once masters. The earliest immigrants were the Spanish,who settled in the southern part of what is now the US．The next large group were the English,after the English came the French,Dutch,Irish,Germans,and other nationality groups,mostly European. Another early group to arrive were the Negroes．But they were brought in as slaves from Africa．They didn't win freedom till generations later. Who were the earliest people living in North America?
A、The Spanis
B、The Englis
C、The Negroe
D、The Indian
【正确答案】：D
【题目解析】：根据文段的第一段描述，“The earliest immigrants to North America found Indians already living there.” 这明确指出了当最早的移民到达北美时，他们已经发现印第安人（Indians）在那里生活。随后的内容进一步描述了这些最早的移民与印第安人之间的冲突和土地争夺，但并没有改变“印第安人是北美最早的居民”这一事实。 A选项“The Spanis”和B选项“The Englis”都是后来到达北美的欧洲移民群体，文中明确提到了他们在印第安人之后到达。 C选项“The Negroe”虽然也是早期到达北美的群体之一，但他们是被作为奴隶从非洲带来的，并非北美的原住民。 D选项“The Indian”是文中明确提到的北美原住民，也是题目所问的“最早在北美生活的人”。 因此，根据文章内容，正确答案是D，即“The Indian”。
