GWD30-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?

Their economic success among developing countries has been exceeded only by the successes of Malaysia and Thailand.
By 1978 they produced 70 percent of the world’s manufactured exports.
In the late 1970’s, their growth rates for gross national product were among the highest in the world.
In recent years their development has been heavily subsidized by major international development institutions.
They received conflicting policy advice from international development institutions in the late 1960’s and the 1970’s.

Answer:

Q36:

The author of the passage most clearly implies that Broad and Cavanagh disagree with the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund about which of the following?

The ways in which the global economy has changed in recent years
The causes of the unsustainable levels of foreign debt that the developing countries have incurred in recent years
The level of foreign debt that should be maintained by developing countries
The degree to which international development institutions should monitor the growth of developing countries
The degree to which heavily indebted developing countries should emphasize exports in their overall economic strategy

35,我觉得应该选D， C没有指出GNP是highest,只说明了unequaled.

36我选的得是B，答案是E，没想明白，请指教

For 35, why D, the passage did not even mention subsidies.
