Q35 to Q37:
(The following was excerpted from
material written in 1988.)

      For over a decade the
 most common policy advice
 given to developing countries
Line by international development
  (5) institutions has been to copy
the export-oriented path of the
newly industrializing countries,
the celebrated NIC’s.  These
economies—Brazil, Hong
 (10) Kong, Mexico, Singapore,
South Korea, and Taiwan—
burst into the world manufac-
turing market in the late 1960’s
and the 1970’s; by 1978 these
 (15) six economies, along with India,
enjoyed unequaled growth
rates for gross national product
and for exports, with exports
accounting for 70 percent of
 (20) the developing world’s manu-
 factured exports.  It was,
 therefore, not surprising that
dozens of other countries
attempted to follow their model,
 (25) yet no countries—with the pos-
sible exceptions of Malaysia
and Thailand—have even
approached their success.  In
“No More NIC’s,” Robin Broad
 (30) and John Cavanagh search for
the reasons behind these fail-
ures, identifying far-reaching
 changes in the global econ-
omy—from synthetic substitutes
 (35)  for commodity exports to
unsustainable levels of foreign
debt—as responsible for a glut
economy offering little room for
 new entrants.  Despite these
 (40) changes, the authors maintain,
the World Bank and the Inter-
national Monetary Fund—the
foremost international devel-
opment institutions—have
 (45) continued to promote the NIC
path as the way for heavily
indebted developing countries
to proceed.  And yet the futility
of this approach should,
 (50) according to the authors, be
all too apparent so many years
into a period of reduced growth
in world markets.

Q35:
Given the information in the passage, which of the following is a true statement about the NIC’s?
  
A. Their economic success among developing countries has been exceeded only by the successes of Malaysia and Thailand.
B. By 1978 they produced 70 percent of the world’s manufactured exports.
C. In the late 1970’s, their growth rates for gross national product were among the highest in the world.
D. In recent years their development has been heavily subsidized by major international development institutions.
E. They received conflicting policy advice from international development institutions in the late 1960’s and the 1970’s.
Answer:  answer is C ; i vote for D

谢谢，那就是说由enjoyed unequaled growth
rates for gross national product
and for exports,可以推出 highest ？

我也是在CD之间徘徊。。。

C没有说highest

D只是说了give advice to 并没有subsidize

真难办～～～

Help, pls, what's the meaning of the last sentence ? 

"And yet the futility
of this approach should,
 (50) according to the authors, be
all too apparent so many years
into a period of reduced growth
in world markets."

unequalled adjective
un‧e‧qualled British English unequaled American English /ʌnˈiːkwəld/
better than any other
The hotel has a range of facilities unequalled in the city.

我也误选D，就是没理解unequalled的意思！

 (25) yet no countries—with the pos-
sible exceptions of Malaysia
and Thailand—have even
approached their success. 

不是说明(A)是对的吗?

丽香MM，正如你所quo的那段，文章中说的是马来和泰国approached（接近） their success，而A中说的是exceeded（超过） only by the successes of Malaysia and Thailand，首先approach不能等于exceed，其次A还说only呢，文章中用的是possible exceptions，中间意思也不尽相同，这样就应该能否定A鸟。。。你再想想看？！

另外，偶觉得C完全没有问题，因为

along with India,
enjoyed unequaled growth
rates for gross national product
and for exports, with exports
accounting for 70 percent of
 (20) the developing world’s manu-
 factured exports. 

unqualed就表明了这些国家的发展速度比其实国家明显要快，

并且C说C. were among the highest in the world，不是说the highest，其实已经写得挺严谨滴咯~
