参考答案

正确答案：D
解析：本题的四个选项中，只有D项为正确答案。这可从文中第二段的“many men who have accumulated more money than they can ever use have shown a hunger for more，and have not hesitated to cheat the ignorant and the helpless out of their poor servings in order to partially satisfy that appetite”推知，即许多富有的人很贪婪，他们还想要更多的钱，甚至通过欺骗无知和无助的人达到聚敛更多财富的目的。
