单选题That "For someone without land or education ,that still beats trying to make a living in Bihar"(4th paragraph) means that even so,

A．the poor prefer to work and live in Biha
B．the poor from Bihar fare better than back hom
C．the poor never try to make a living in Biha
D．the poor never seem to resent their life in Kolkat

参考答案B

解析:语义理解题。由题干定位至第四段末句，倒数第二句表明“A 2003 study found that rickshaw pullersare near the bottom of Kolkata occupations in income，doing better than only the beggars．”，可见人力车夫在加尔各答收入非常低。末句中的still表示转折，句中的beat意为“打败”，显然可以推断这里作者表示的意思是虽然在加尔各答收入很低，但是还是强于在比哈尔生活，故[B]符合文意。 [A]与末句中的still逻辑关系不符，排除；[C]和[D]为绝对项，可直接排除。
