參考答案【正確答案：A】
推斷題。答案在最后一段。本段主要論述生產(chǎn)力和生活水平的關(guān)系對(duì)公共政策的制定所起的重要意義。政策的制定者必須考慮到：生產(chǎn)力的提高也就意味著生活水平的提高。如何提高生產(chǎn)力從而提高人們的生活水平就是他們必須認(rèn)真思考的。而提高生產(chǎn)力就必須依靠提髙工人的受教育水平，使其擁有先進(jìn)的生產(chǎn)和服務(wù)工具以及能夠接觸到高科技。所以推斷出研究生產(chǎn)力和生活水平之間的關(guān)系的意義在于引起政策制定者關(guān)注生產(chǎn)力素質(zhì)的提高。因此A選項(xiàng)為正確答案。
