There are two main changes comparing with the past. First, there are new definitions of what man can achieve, of what a human standard of life should be. In recent times this has been particularly true since technology has consistently broadened man’s potential, it has made a longer, healthier, better life possible. Thus, in terms of what is technically possible, we have higher aspirations. Those who suffer levels of life well below those that are possible, even though they live better than medieval knights (中世纪骑士) or Asian peasants, are poor.
Related to this technological advance is the social definition of poverty. The American rich in Hong Kong or in the sixteenth century are poor here and now in the United States. They are dispossessed in terms of what the rest of the nations enjoy, in terms of what the society could provide if it had the will. They live on the fringe, the margin. They watch the movies and read the magazines of affluent (丰富的) American, and these will tell them that they are internal exiles.
And finally, one of the reasons that the income figures show fewer people today with low incomes than 20 years ago is that more wives are working now, and family income has risen as a result. In 1940, 15% of wives were in the labor force; in 1957 the figure was 30%. This means that there was more money and, presumably, less poverty. Yet a tremendous growth in the number of the impoverishment of home life, of children who receive less care, love, and supervision. This one fact, for instance, might well play a significant role in the problems of the young in America. It could mean that we have made an improvement in income statistics at the cost of hurting thousands and thousands of children. If a person has money but achieves this through mortgaging the future, who is to say that he or she is no longer poor?
In recent times, as far as technology is concerned, those who are poor________.
选项
A、live better than Asian peasants
B、lead better lives than medieval knights
C、cannot achieve the living standard that technology can make
D、have no aspiration
答案
C
解析
C选项所表达的意思与第一段最后一句中的“…suffer levels of life well below those that are possible”一致,故选C(参见难句分析)。A、B虽然正确,但不是就技术而言的,所以排除;D为干扰项,原文第四句中出现了“we have higher aspiration”,但这里的we是一个宽泛的概念,不是只针对富人或穷人而言的,跟题干所问的不相干。
