Do you remember the Millennium Goals？ When world leaders celebrated the year 2000 with a serious promise to reduce poverty (贫穷) and hunger, check the spread of AIDS, getboys and girls into school, and improve public health, all by 2015？ Well, three years down the road, and the UNDPs yearly collection of facts and figures alreadyshows that if we carry on as we are, the only goal likely to be met is that for reducing poverty by ahalf, and that is entirely due to the success of one country-China. It is so vast that the fast-grow-ing economy in China lifts millions of people above the poverty line, even though in Africa, LatinAmerica and the former Soviet Union, people have actually been getting poorer. Otherwise, progress is good only in parts. East Asia should meet its goal of reducing hungerby a half by 2015, and Latin America and the Caribbean are not far behind, but at the present speedof progress, Africa and South Asia wont get there for another hundred years. The good news is that it can be done-there are success stories. Ghana-an economic basketcase in the eighties and early nineties-has managed to find a way out of its difficulties and its nowcomfortably in the middle range of countries, way ahead of the much more naturally wealthy Niger-ia. For Congo, Cambodia or Iraq, ruined by war, or every southern African country damaged by AIDS, there is a Mauritius or a South Korea steadily working its way up the league table towards abetter life for its people. 根据材料请回答下列各 Which of the millennium goals is likely to be met according to the text？
A.Improving public health.
B.Reducing poverty by a half.
C.Sending children to school.
D.Stopping the spread of AIDS.请帮忙给出正确答案和分析，谢谢！
参考答案
正确答案：B
你还记得千禧年愿望吗?还记得世界领导人庆祝2000年时，他们的重要承诺吗?是到2015年，减少贫穷和饥饿，控制艾滋的传播，让孩子们上学，提高公众健康吗?现在，还剩下三年时间。联合国开发计划署年度事实和数据汇总已经显示：如果我们还像现在这样，那么唯一能达到的目标是贫穷减少一半，那还是基于一个国家——中国的胜利。在中国，快速增长的经济让几百万人摆脱了贫困，虽然在非洲、拉丁美洲和前苏联，人们变得更加贫穷。进步也只是在部分地区。东亚应该能在2015年达到它的目标——减少一半的饥饿，拉丁美洲和地中海也不会太差。但是按照现在的速度，非洲和南亚即使再给100年也不会达到这个目标。好消息是这些都能被做到，已经有了成功的例子。加纳——一个在上世纪80年代和90年代早期经济衰败的国家，已经找到了摆脱困境的方法，现在已经进入中等收入国家之列，比自然资源丰富的尼日利亚更加靠前。对于刚果、柬埔寨和饱受战争困扰的伊拉克，以及每一个被艾滋病感染的南非国家，则应该以毛里求斯和韩国为榜样，它们正在稳健地向自己的联盟会议的目标——给自己的人民带来更好的生活迈进。【精析】细节题。题干意为“根据文意，哪个千禧年愿望将会实现?”根据第二段第一句“Well，threeyearsdowntheroad…theonlygoallikelytobemetisthatforreducingpovertybyahalf……”可知，唯一可能达到的目标是减少一半的贫穷。故B为正确答案。
