单选题Which of the following statements best describes the rickshaw pullers from Bihar?

A．They come from a relatively poor are
B．They are provided with decent accommodatio 
C．Their living standards are very low in Kolkat 
D．They are often caught by policemen in the street

参考答案C
解析:推理判断题。根据题干中的rickshaw pullers from Bihar定位至第四段。由第五句“For sleeping privileges in a dera，pullers pay l00 rupees(about$2.50)a month，which sounds like a pretty good deal untilyou’ve visited a dera．”可以推断人力车夫的居住条件很差。此外，结合倒数第二句“A 2003 study foundthat rickshaw pullers are near the bottom of Kolkata occupations in income，doing better than only thebeggars．”表明人力车夫的收入很低，故可以推断出他们生活状况不佳，故[C]为答案。第二句和第三旬提到“Among India’s 20 largest states，Bihar finished dead last ,as it has for four of the past five years.Bihar。a few hundred miles north of Kolkata，is where the vast majority of rickshaw pullers comefrom．”，可知大部分人力车夫来自最贫穷的地区，而不是[A]“他们来自比较贫穷的地区”，排除；[B]与第五句矛盾，故排除；倒数第三句中提到0ccasional，表示“偶尔的”，这与[D]中的0ften不符，排除。
