问题 The main reason why some Asian countries are suffering from economic depression is that they ______.
What does the sentence "wages are stagnant" (Paragraph 3) most probably mean?

选项 A、Wages stop rising.
B、Wages are so high that there is no need to rise.
C、There is a pause in wages, but they will soon rise.
D、Wages begin to fall.

答案A

解析 这是一道词义题。题干中的信号词出自于文章第三段最后一句话中。文章第三段最后两句话指出:欧盟的反对人士提到了全球化给美国和英国带来的影响;在这两个国家,除了少数特权阶层,工资水平徘徊不前,税收和福利已经减少,以便帮助国内企业与发展中国家的企业竞争。这说明,该句话最可能的意思应该是“工资没有增长”。A说“工资停止了增长”,这与文章的意思相符。B明显与文章的意思不符;文中没有提到工资将会增长,所以C不对;D不准确。
