Who are the poor in the United States? As of 1970, nearly two-thirds of the poor people were white. Although nonwhites make up only one-third of those classified as poor, this reflects a great overrepresentation (过分代表) of their number because the nonwhites made up less than 16 percent of the total population in 1970.
Other categories (种类,类型) also help to define the poor. There are the aged poor. Almost one-fifth of all poor Americans are aged 65 or older. Another large segment of the poor in the United States is found in rural areas. Nearly one-fourth of all people living on farms in 1970 were classified as poor. Migrant workers and American Indians are included as part of the rural poor. But the greatest number of poor Americans is found in the cities. More than one-half of all single individuals whose income was below $ 3 000 in 1970 lived in urban areas, as did one-half of all four-person families with incomes below $ 6 000.
Government officials have found it important to define who the poor are because each group has different needs. Different approaches are needed to help solve the problems of the poor.
According to the passage, a single individual who earns______in 1970 is classified as a poor person.
选项
A、below $ 1 500
B、less than $ 6 000
C、more than $ 3 000
D、less than $ 3 000
答案
D
解析
文中第二段最后一句说:“1970年收入在3 000美元以下的一多半单个人生活在城市……”由此我们可以得出,在1970年收入低于3 000美元的单个人都被划分为穷人之列。
