(单选题)
Why does the author mention "an epochal 'global re-balancing'"? ( )
A.To explain the recent achievement of poverty reduction.
B.To conclude that the world has changed so dramatically.
C.To criticize developed countries.
D.To predict that things can be better.
参考答案:B
参考解析:
细节题。根据题干关键词“an epochal global re-balancing”定位到原文原文第二段的最后一行,前文作者提到“never in history have......so many people changed so dramatically and fast,因此是用来解释这句话的,因此答案选B。A项:“为了阐明最近减贫获得的成就”,该段前文并没有谈到poverty reduction这一主体词,与此无关,排除;C项:“为了批评发达国家”,无中生有,原文并没有指责发达国家的言辞,排除;D项:“为了预测事情会变得更好”,原文并没有提到“预测”一事,排除。故本题正确答案选B。
