问题 Which of the following countries has enjoyed the fastest economic growth in history? [br] The word "meager" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to" ______ ".
选项 A、modest
B、poor
C、meaningless
D、plentiful
答案 B
解析 词汇题。本题考查根据上下文推测词义的能力。该词出现在第二段“In nations where workers can produce a large quantity of good sand services per unit of time，most people enjoy a high standard of living；in nations where workers are less productive，most People must endure a more meager existence．”。这里对两类国家进行了一下对比，首先在那些单位时间内能生产出大量的产品和服务，即生产力水平较高的国家，大多数人的生活水平都较高；接着与之相对应，在那些生产力水平较低的国家，人们的生活水平肯定较低，因此可推出meager一词肯定跟穷困的意思接近，故答案只能为poor。其他选项modest谦虚的，适度的；meaningless毫无意义的；plentiful许多的，丰富的。
