Government anti-poverty efforts have made some progress but have not eradicated the problem.【C4】______, periods of strong economic growth, which bring more jobs and higher wages, have【C5】______poverty but have not【C6】______it entirely.
The federal government 【C7】______ poverty line as a minimum 【C8】______ of income 【C9】______ for basic maintenance of a family or four. This amount may fluctuated【C10】______the cost of living and the location of the family. In 1998, a family of four with an annual income below $ 16,530 was classified【C11】______living in poverty.
The percentage of people living below poverty line dropped from 22.4 percent in 1959 to 11.4 percent in 1978. But【C12】______, it has fluctuated in a fairly narrow range. In 1998, it stood at 12.7 percent.
【C13】______, the overall figures mask much more severe pockets of poverty. In 1998, more than one-quarter of all African-Americans lived in poverty; though【C14】______high, that figure did represent an improvement from 1979 when 31 percentage of blacks were officially classified as poor.
There are【C15】______estimations on the accuracy of official poverty figures. Some analysts have suggested that the official poverty figures【C16】______the real【C17】______of poverty because they measure only cash income and exclude certain government assistance programs such as Food Stamps. Others point out, however, that these programs【C18】______cover all of a family’s food or health care needs.【C19】______others point out that people at the poverty line sometimes receive cash income from【C20】______work and in the underground sector of economy which is never recorded in official statistics.
【C16】
选项
A、understate
B、overstate
C、boast
D、exaggerate
答案
B
解析
考查动词辨析。空格处所在句意为:一些分析人士认为官方贫困数字______真实的贫困______,因为这些数字仅仅测算了现金收入并且将诸如食品救助等政府的一些补贴排除在外。B.overstate“夸大,高估”,符合句意,为正确答案。understate“低估”,显然与文意不符;boast“夸口,吹牛”与exaggerate“夸大其辞”均表示主观上故意的夸大,不符合题意。
