题目解答
答案
解析
本题考查对文章段落内容的理解和推理能力。解题思路是仔细分析段落中关于人类与饥饿斗争的描述，然后逐一判断各个选项是否能从段落中合理推出。
- 分析选项A：
- 段落中并没有任何信息表明人类一直处于饥饿状态。文中只是说饥饿是人类一直努力对抗的事物，但不能由此得出人类一直处于饥饿的结论。所以选项A不符合段落内容。
- 分析选项B：
- 段落中没有提及人类在未来的所有战斗中都会成功。虽然提到了人类在与饥饿的斗争中有进步，但不能过度推断到所有战斗都会成功。所以选项B不准确。
- 分析选项C：
- 文中明确提到 “In the continuous fight against hunger and cold, humankind has progressed in remarkable ways and done far more than what was absolutely necessary to merely fend off against starvation.”，这清晰地表明了人类在与饥饿的斗争中取得了显著的进步。所以选项C符合段落内容。
