问题     Europe’s world status had drastically changed. Its individual nations, once great powers, were dwarfed—politically and militarily by the United States and the former Soviet Union, numerically by India and China, economically by the United States, Japan, and any new economic powers that might emerge. Europe’s empires had been widely separated; and yet, like the rest of the world’s rich Northern Hemisphere, it could not shrug off the poor and hungry millions in the South.. It is all the more reasonable, therefore, for Europe countries to come together—not merely to hold their own political and economic superpowers but also to maximize their power to meet their responsibilities in the world.
    20th-century Europe had witnessed and shared in extraordinarily rapid technological change. Computers, industrial robots and genetic engineering are only its most obvious recent examples. The splitting of the atom had vastly multiplied humanity’s power to destroy itself. Jet aircraft, space travel and electronic telecommunications had revolutionized the sense of distance and scale. Radio and television, still more than the cinema, had become truly "mass media", with satellites giving all broadcasts in the global range. But economic progress had not kept pace with technology; in a world of potential plenty and well-being, there were still both poverty and pollution. Political progress had been slower still. International cooperation was increasing, but the basic political unit remained the nation-state. That dated from an age when the fastest means of travel had been a galloping horse. This was why the founders of the EC, as Monnet said, were not concerned to make coalitions of states but to unite people. A united Europe along these lines, with common rules and democratic institutions, was in his eyes a pilot plant for a united world.
The underlined "it could not shrug off the poor and hungry millions in the South" in the third sentence means______.
选项 A、it should care more for its own poor people in southern Europe
B、it should not put away its responsibilities for supporting the poor nations
C、it should not be arrogant towards the developing countries
D、it alone could not support the poor people in most third world countries
答案C
解析 语义题。根据第三句可知，欧洲帝国已经分崩离析，然而像北半球其他的富国一样，它也不能蔑视南半球那些贫穷和饥饿的千百万人了。故C项符合题意。
