问题 Which of the following countries has enjoyed the fastest economic growth in history?
The word“meager”i‘n the second paragraph is closest in meaning to“——”.

选项 A、modest
B、poor
C、meaningless
D、plentiful

答案B

解析 和在第二段中“meager”含义最接近的单词是“——”.A.谦虚B.贫穷C.无意义D.许多 线索:本题考查根据上下文推测词义的能力。该词出现在第二段“In nations where workers cart produce a large quantity of goods and services per unit of time,moot people enjoy a high standard of living;in nations where worker8 are less productive,moot poolple must endure a more meager exist once.”这里对两类国家进行了对比。首先在那些单位时间内能生产出大量的产品和服务,即 生产力水平较高的国家,大多数人的生活水平都较高;接着与之相对应,在那些生产力水平 较低的国家,人们的生活水平肯定是较低。因此可推出meager一词肯定跟穷困的意思接近, 故答案只能为poor。其他选项modest谦虚的,适度的;meaningless毫无意义的;plentiful许多的,丰富的。
