问题 What a radical decision did New Zealand take 20 years ago?
Many governments in Europe are grappling with the huge task of reforming their economies, which economists say are burdened with high welfare costs. On the other side of the world, [23]in New Zealand, a radical decision was taken 20 years ago to slash those costs by dismantling the country’s welfare state which had been in existence for half a century. The New Zealand experience has been seen as a test case by other governments wanting to introduce reform.

选项 A、Cutting public spending.
B、Dismantling the country’s welfare state.
C、Reforming its economy.
D、Curtailing high labor costs drastically.

答案B

解析 新闻提到,很多欧洲国家政府正忙于巨大的经济改革任务。经济学家表示,欧洲国家的经济背负着高额福利支出的负担。而新西兰却于20年前做出了一个激进的决定。通过废除已经存在了半个世纪的福利性国家制度,新西兰大量削减了福利支出。故选项B正确。
