The loudest outcry(呐喊)about poverty seemed to come in the wealthiest country— by far—in the world. According to most calculations, through most of the 1945—1970 period the United States had a standard of living well above Europe’s and many times above the world average. Yet protests about grinding poverty, hunger, and dreadful need proceed more from the United States than from countries with one-fortieth of their living standard.(An annual per capita income of eight dollars is typical of much of Africa and Asia and not a little of South America.)It would seem strange to these people(were they only aware of the fact)that American radicals demand a retreat from an American commitment to the far corners of the globe so that the money thus saved can be spent raising the standard of living of underprivileged Americans.
What this last point suggests is not so much that human wants are never to be satisfied though this is doubtlessly true, and the American living in suburb deprived of his second car and his color TV suffers just as acutely as an African farmer in need of a second cow and a screen door. Rather, it suggests the extent of contemporary breach(违反)of social norm(标准)—the emancipation(解放)of the individual self. People have learned that their wants are sacred and rights ought to be satisfied. They have learned to consider any obstacle to personal fulfillment and intolerable insult. They have greatly expanded the circle of self-awareness. They no longer accept sharp limitations on individual desires in the name of the group. The amount of potential human discontent has always been infinite—misery, failure, misfitting, bitterness, hatred, envy beyond telling. It has usually failed of utterance, and in the past it was accepted passively as being beyond help.
In order to improve the standard of living of poor Americans, the extremists in the States demand______.
选项
A、a full tax relief on citizen living overseas
B、a stop to arm race against nations far away
C、a cut in financial assistance to poor countries
D、a favorable balance of trade with foreign countries
答案
C
解析
本题考查推断能力。根据第一段最后一句话可知,美国激进分子要求美国收回承诺,退到世界上最远的角落,以便省下的钱可以花在提高贫困美国人的生活标准上面。这就是说减少美国对世界其他国家的资助。所以C项符合题意。
