Q35:
The primary purpose of the passage is to
Answer: B
我觉得是D,这篇文章并没有提到什莫rural development projects啊?
我觉得选A,作者的意思是说那些研究者只看到了technological development strategy based
on the market economics,但是overlooked the economic impact of rural development projects that improve people’s daily lives at the village level。这两者都是GDP增长的原因
I agree with D.
A错在explain上面。作者没有explain Thai的经济增长的原因。
欧也坚定不移地认为是D

Q35:
The primary purpose of the passage is to
Answer: B
我觉得是D,这篇文章并没有提到什莫rural development projects啊?
文中偶画红线的地方不正是提到了project么? 而且也是主题句啊.
这题很麻烦。
作者反对用technological development 作解释,强调rural development projects的作用。但B中,argue for the adoption 是没有根据的。而D中,assumption也很含糊,Many researchers regard,不是assume. 大家看看C有没有可能?
而D中,assumption也很含糊,Many researchers regard,不是assume.
同意liu-9000。本来选的是D,但是仔细看了一下,觉得D是有问题,文中没有提到任何assumption. 还是觉得B好一些。反对那些经济学家的偏见,实际上就是在argue for the projects.
请指正。
我觉得文中只提到一个assuption,不是几个
我觉得文中只提到一个assuption,不是几个
有道理的说!
偶坚定不移地选C!
我觉得C里面的question,好像文中主要是说 不能忽视 rural project 对经济发展的作用,后面也驳斥了有些researchers认为这个是阻碍发展的观点,但是没有认为 tecnologial stratedy就没用吧,所以我觉得A好一点
请指正
这篇文章的基调绝对它不可能是explain,只能是critic,question和argue这样的词。所以a是肯定不成立。
从文章的重心来看,我觉得d更好
该文章是学术讨论,上来就是 many researchers 如何如何, 就选 D 吧.
D;
开篇就说GDP增长率反映了泰国的经济增长,下面是对这一假设进行的评价。
My two cents ...
A错误, 原文很明确的说such projects are not adequately reflected in the country’s GDP.
B错误, 很明显certain rural development projects已经被adopt了, 作者没必要argue for the adoption.
C错误, 作者是在批评有些经济学家overlook了nontechnological development, 而不是the value of technological development. Focus不对.
E错误, 原文没有历史和现在的对比.
不好意思
坚定不移的选C
偶原来选D,可是仔细看看还是B更好一些。文章二、三句是重点,说在评价泰国发展的时候,rural development project被忽视了, overlook, not adequately reflected啊, 所以文章主题是呼吁人们/学者 在评价时‘采用这个标准, argue for the adoption of rural projects’, D中assumption怪怪的, 而且用了复数形势, 如果说有assumption, 也只能是说 学者门只用 GDP来评价, 也不应该是criticize certain assumptions啊 。

坚定不移的选D!!
B.argue for the adoption of certain rural development projects 文章没讲到发展计划的采取
C.question the value of technological development in Thailand 文章并没有评价科技发展的价值
文章主要是讲在多数专家在评价一个地区经济发展的时候只考虑现代科技的发展,而忽视了农村经济的作用,从yet开始用了很多负评价词,可见是criticize。
D.criticize certain assumptions about economic development in Thailand 其中assumption就是指文章第一句话
我一开始就排除掉了D,原因是经济发展的假设是什么东东。。。。
后来看了部分讨论后发现ABCD都有可能,晕S
最后查了assumption后,才肯定了D答案!
本文批评了(人们)对于泰国经济发展的假设~
泰国经济发展已经是事实了,在讨论是什么使得它发展了,有人用GDP来评价其 technological development,而他们却忽略了nontechnological development.后来出来一个大牛Heilbroner view nontechnological development as an obstacle to progress. 然后作者又说H其实也不对,这种二分法也可能造成另一种误解。

这里说了
农业的不能在gdp里反映出来,所以gdp并不是完整真实的,它只反映
了科技带来的经济增长。

应该是B.
argue for 赞成
全文的主题句: L7-16 Yet by focusing solely on aggregate economic growth data as the measure of Thailand's development, these researchers have overlooked the economic impact of rural development projects that improve ....后面都是论据.
所以主题是:criticize that these researchers did not adopt nontechnological rural development projects. == argue for the adoption of rural development profects.
C 和 D 的动词是对的, 但宾语不对.
vote for D, 同意JerryGuan的意见。
BTW,
进行多次阅读原文和题目之后,赞成35题选D。
B不是文章的中心所在,作者一直在说那些researchers受教条主义的影响,把经济的发展主要归因于技术的发展策略,忽视了一个农村开放项目的作用。然后说是受到某个学霸的影响。。。
把握文章主题之后,就发现argue for adoption确实不好。因为文中并没有说采用还是不采用,而是哪些家伙忽视了农村开发项目在经济发展中的impact。
而D就好得多。

答案C 作者是在Question tech development 在Thailand中的Value,不是么?
B--文章说到rural development是nontech development 的代表,而非在说rural development 本身 是该adopt or not.
D--assumptions,几个假设,科学家拿GDP作为tech development 的代表来衡量经济,
没有做出任何假设.怎么可以说我拿GDP来作为假设呢?我觉得说不通.
作者认为科学家过高的用technological development 作解释,而忽视了nontech development作用。但B中,argue for the adoption 是没有根据的。而D中,assumption也没有根据.

支持B,说说我的看法:
大家都在讨论argue的用法,但没有考虑adoption的用法。我认为B的意思不是说“支持采用rural development projects",而是建议researchers在研究中“采纳rural development projects的影响也作为经济增长的数据”。这样解释,不知大家是否同意?

D
看了大家的讨论,觉得很多朋友在对这篇文章的理解上有问题,所以才会出现那么多misunderstanding 的地方. 首先说明本题ETS结合了经济学中的很多关联理论,如果没有一点经济学基础的朋友看到本文,很容易就会犯错.
我们先来看35题. 很多朋友选A,其实A是最不可能选的.因为经济学中GDP的计算是不包括人民生活水平提高的.所以泰国的人民生活水平提高根本不管GDP增加的事,所以不可能是成为REAL REASON FOR GDP GROWTH.
有了这点基本知识以后大家再来理解本文,就能发现其实它只是在说不能只看一个国家的GDP增长来定义该国经济增长.而应该同时考虑WELFARE的增长等其它因素. 然后它讨论了一下正反例子.
大家再读一下应该可以理解清楚一点了.35-37D,A,C是我的答案
支持:victorsfu。
本题的关键在于:TOPIC SENTENCE.
本句就是对一种研究方法或者说理论(的假设)进行的批判。

我的答案和51楼一样,DAC
是D,自己观点。
assumptions指的是一个是GDP衡量,一个是用其他的一揽子指标衡量。
文章的基调就是反驳,所以A错。且GDP只是提了一下,肯定不能作为一个primary purpose的。
B也只是一个例子而已,是nontechnology的例子,也不可。
文章没有question技术的价值阿,只是反驳有的学者把问题弄得极端了,
所以大家也不要太极端,还是选D的好。不然说不定哪天ETS出个阅读题目,说是不是完全是GMAT的魅力呢?为了一道题目,有一群中国人居然讨论了上百句,还是为了别的目的……。然后问main purpose,哈哈。
看了大家的讨论,我原来也是选C,现在觉得还是应该选D,说说我对ASSUMPTION用复数的看法

Q35:灰色代表了总体语气,蓝色代表反对第二个假设的地方,黄色代表反对第一假设的地方
The primary purpose of the passage is to
C错误, 作者是在批评有些经济学家overlook了nontechnological development, 而不是the value of technological development. Focus不对.另外从文中语气来说作者已经肯定了原有观点的错误所以是批评而不是仅仅置疑
第一个假设是GDP反应了经济增长,而农业的不能在gdp里反映出来,所以gdp并不是完整真实的,它只反映了科技带来的经济增长,批评了这个假设,另外一个假设是技术导致经济增长,整个第二段也批评了,所以这里有两个假设,用ASSUMPTION的复数
I agree with D.
A错在explain上面。作者没有explain Thai的经济增长的原因。
这题我虽然我也选了D
但是在A的看法上和rhod有一点异意
我感觉整篇文章说,一些研究说原先只基于GDP和科技进步的情况来判断经济增长的原因overlook了一些其他的因素:比如rural development等等,并且文章最后用引号列出了“real”,反义引用,可见“GDP和科技进步”并非是真正的原因,而是一些nontechnique原因是真正的原因。
文章在解释为什么那些technique 原因不是真正的“real”reason而是其他的原因,比如 economic impact of rural development projects that improve people’s daily lives at the village level—such as the cooperative raising of water buffalo, improved sanitation, and the development of food crops both for consumption and for sale at local markets
文章在一定程度上解释了真正的原因
大家讨论
35是B啊,整篇文章的focus在rural development,二句转折开始就一直在讨论rural的project,
作者认为忽略了这些project的作用,并且对于研究者们认为这些project不好进行了反驳,这就是argue for啊。支持,不就是为某件事情说话么?
i also choose choice C. cuz' the author did question the value of technological development in Thailand.
i think all the key words in choice C are correct.
我认为35题选D
A:文中只是开头说到了GDP,后来的论述,并不是在针对GDP的成因。再说,A说true reasons for ...。文中只是说学者们忽视了non-technological development,也没有全盘否定,所以不能说别的才是true reasons for ...。
B:翻译过来就是“支持采纳一些农村发展工程”。文章没有支持这点,只是说学者们忽视了non-technological development,没向政府或是谁提议要支持什么工程。
C:文章只是说学者们忽视了non-technological development,也没有全盘否定。况且,the value of technological development in

大家讨论
A项是解释的是the increacse in Thiland‘s GDP,而实际上是解释the real economic growth。这是A项错误的原因之一,另外一个原因就是explian不是本文作者想要focus的话题。
至于C项,同样要从作者的态度入手,作者想说的是这些人忽略农村发展工程所带来的好处,而不是反驳技术经济带来的好处。
本文作者想要说的话题是,大多数研究者忽略农村发展工程所带来的好处并认为农村发展工程会阻碍技术经济的发展(这可以算是两个Assumptions),作者对这一现象进行了批评。故这个题目从作者态度角度看,D是最佳选项!
另外,D项的Assumptions是有点点不是很精确,我做题时选的是A,一看到Assumptions就把D给咔嚓掉了。。。
