Before, whenever we had wealth, we started discussing poverty. Why not now? Why is the current politics of wealth and poverty seemingly about wealth alone? Eight years ago, when Bill Clinton first ran for president, the Dow Jones average was under 3,500, yearly federal budget deficits were projected at hundreds of billions of dollars forever and beyond, and no one talked about the "permanent boom" or the "new economy. " Yet in that more
straitened
time, Clinton made much of the importance of " not leaving a single person behind. " It is possible that similar "compassionate" rhetoric might yet play a role in the general election.
But it is striking how much less talk there is about the poor than there was eight years ago, when the country was economically uncertain, or in previous eras, when the country felt flush. Even last summer, when Clinton spent several days on a remarkable, Bobby Kennedy-like pilgrimage through impoverished areas from Indian reservations in South Dakota to ghetto neighborhoods in East St. Louis, the administration decided to refer to the effort not as a poverty tour but as a "new market initiative. "
What is happening is partly a logical, policy-driven reaction. Poverty really is lower than it has been in decades, especially for minority groups. The most attractive solution to it — a growing economy — is being applied. The people who have been totally left out of this boom often have medical, mental or other problems for which no one has an immediate solution. "The economy has
sucked in
anyone who has any preparation, any ability to cope with modern life," says Franklin D. Raines, the former director of the Office of Management and Budget who is now head of Fannie Mae. When he and other people who specialize in the issue talk about solutions, they talk analytically and on a long-term basis: education, development of work skills, shifts in the labor market, adjustments in welfare reform.
But I think there is another force that has made this a rich era with barely visible poor people. It is the unusual social and imaginative separation between prosperous America and those still left, out... It’s simple invisibility, because of increasing geographic, occupational, and social barriers that block one group from the others’ view.
In the last paragraph, the author mentions that the poor people______.
选项
A、are seldom visited
B、can barely be visited
C、are rarely noticed and paid attention to
D、are drawing the attention of other groups
答案
C
解析
细节题型见最后一段:但我认为有另外一种力量使得当今的时代成为一个几乎见不到穷人的时代。这就是在富足的美国人及其那些至今仍被排除在外的人之间存在的那种非同寻常的在社会和想象中存在的隔离。——这就是由于阻碍群体间互相观察的地理、职业和社会屏障越来越多,导致了单纯的看不清。在此作者提到了穷人几乎不为人们所关注,因此答案C。
