参考答案：A

解析：
Globalization and the liberalization that produced it have generated a sustained period of economic expansion, together with the most rapid reconfiguration of international economic geography ever. Unprecedented wealth and standards of living exist in the industrialized world. Elsewhere, some countries that struggled with poverty a mere generation ago are now economic poles in their own right. Over the course of the next generation, a majority of the world’s most rapidly growing economies will be located in what is now the developing world.

[分析]： 事实细节的找寻。
根据题干中的关键词与原段落中的各项事实细节相对照，发现只有A中 the gap between the developed and the developing countries在原文中没有提到。因此，只有选项A的内容不是globalization and liberalization所带来的结果。
[解题关键] 掌握选项中相关信息在原文中的正确定位。
