Which of the following is NOT true? （ ）
A、English is more closely related to German than French.
B、Old English was a highly inflected language.
C、Modern English is considered to be an analytic language.
D、Middle English absorbed a tremendous number of foreign words but with little change in word endings.
【正确答案】：D
【题目解析】：本题考查关于英语词汇发展三个阶段的正确说法。英语与德语的关系比法语更密切，英语和德语都属于日耳曼语族；古英语是一种高度曲折的语言，词尾变化非常复杂；现代英语被认为是一种分析性语言，词尾几乎都消失了；中古英语吸收了大量的外来词，并且词尾已经去了一大半。所以A、B、C项说法正确。D选项说法错误，符合题意。
