参考答案
正确答案：A
解析：对于“poverty”的自定义可以根据文章的第一句话“…poverty is a lack of basic human needs，such as adequate and nutritious food，clothing，housing，clear water，and health services.”和文章的主要内容来做。有的考生不加思索地选择B是错误的，B项仅是对“poverty”状态的一种解释，还谈不上是下定义。D项只谈到了“poverty”的资源缺乏一个方面，没有谈及“收入income”问题，C项和A项比较内容相差不了多少，基本一样。但对于给“poverty”下定义来讲，A项更精练、浓缩、简洁。
