单选题 The writer thinks that the U.S. government's definition of the homeless reveals ______.

A、 an insincere attitude toward the homeless
B、 an unbearable attitude toward the homeless
C、 an uncivilized attitude toward the homeless
D、 an unsympathetic attitude toward the homeless

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】参见第一段：According to the United States government，…that is an impersonal assessment of an enormous and very human problem．按照美国政府的观点，……虽然从技术上是准确的，但是这应该是一个巨大的非个人的同情心问题。在这里，human意思是“同情心”。本题需要考生从原文中推断出作者的观点，也就是通常所说的话外音。作者观点一般会出现在首段或结尾段(本题首段点题)，考生在解答此类问题时应该注意这样的信号词，如although，but，however等。
