2015考研英语阅读理解精读P9—法学类
Passage 9
The eradication of poverty is a shared responsibility for the international community—indeed,a moral imperative.This task has become no less urgent in the last decade,in spite of rapid economic growth in many parts of the world.While the percentage of the world’s population living on less than $1 per day has fallen from 28.3%to 24.0%between 1987 and 1998,population growth(815 million) has kept the absolute number of poor steady at some 1.2 billion.If we take a higher cutoff point of $2 per day,the poor have increased by 250 million over the same time period,encompassing 2.8 billion people,or almost half of the world’s population.Nor do World Bank projections lend undivided hope for the future.Under the“business as usual”scenario,the number of poor on the $1 per day scale will not change during the projection period up to 2008.However,should policy measures be taken to boost economic growth and make the growth process more inclusive to the poor,the World Bank reckons that 500 million people could be brought out of extreme poverty by 2008.Even under this more optimistic scenario,Latin America and the Caribbean,and especially Sub-Saharan Africa would see little,if any,progress.The same pattern emerges under the higher cutoff point of $2 per day.
