Who are the poor in the United States? As of 1970, nearly two-thirds of the poor people were white. Although nonwhites make up only one-third of those classified as poor, this reflects a great overrepresentation (过分代表) of their number because the nonwhites made up less than 16 percent of the total population in 1970.
Other categories (种类,类型) also help to define the poor. There are the aged poor. Almost one-fifth of all poor Americans are aged 65 or older. Another large segment of the poor in the United States is found in rural areas. Nearly one-fourth of all people living on farms in 1970 were classified as poor. Migrant workers and American Indians are included as part of the rural poor. But the greatest number of poor Americans is found in the cities. More than one-half of all single individuals whose income was below $ 3 000 in 1970 lived in urban areas, as did one-half of all four-person families with incomes below $ 6 000.
Government officials have found it important to define who the poor are because each group has different needs. Different approaches are needed to help solve the problems of the poor.
According to the passage, all of the following are valid statements concerning the poor EXCEPT that______.
选项
A、many of the poor are old people
B、many of the poor are foreigners
C、many of the poor are nonwhites
D、many of the poor live on farms
答案
B
解析
本题可以通过排除法找到答案。文中第一段第二句说:“如在1970年,接近2/3的穷人是白人。”由此我们可以得出,另1/3穷人一定是非白人。所以许多穷人是非白人的陈述是有根据的,选项C应排除;文中第二段第三句说:“几乎全部美国穷人的1/5是65岁的老人或更老一些的人。”由此选项A可排除。文中第二段第四句、第五句说:“在美国,另一大部分穷人出现在农业地区,在1970年几乎1/4生活在农场的人们被划到穷人之列。”由此选项D可排除。唯一排除不掉的是选项B。文中第二段谈到了民工和美国的印第安人被归为农村穷人之列,但没有提到外国人。
