问题 Which of the following countries has enjoyed the fastest economic growth in history?
The word "meager" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to"______".
选项 A、modest
B、poor
C、meaningless
D、plentiful
答案B
解析 该词出现在第二段"In nations where workers can produce a large quantity of goods and services per unit of time，most people enjoy a high standard of living；in nations where workers are less productive，most people must endure a more meager existence"．这里对两类国家进行了一下对比，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"。
