见回帖, hgconnie, 明天, 帮忙讨论。。 后天。 XY 5th, haha ..  Q35 to Q37: (The following is excerpted from material written in 1992.) Many researchers regard Thailand’s recent economic growth, as reflected by its gross domestic product (GDP) growth rates, Line as an example of the success of a modern (5) technological development strategy based on the market economics of industrialized countries<现象-1>. Yet by focusing solely on aggregate economic growth data as the measure of Thailand’s development, these research- (10) ers have overlooked the economic impact of rural 《问题》development projects that improve people’s daily lives at the village level— such as-举例 the cooperative raising of water buffalo, improved sanitation, and the devel- (15) opment of food crops both for consumption and for sale at local markets; such projects are not adequately reflected in the country’s GDP. These researchers, influenced by Robert Heilbroner’s-原因-1 now outdated develop- (20) ment theory, tend to view non technological development as an obstacle to progress. Heilbroner’s theory has become doctrine in some economics textbooks: for example, Monte Palmer= Robert Heilbroner’s disparages nontechnological (25) rural development projects as inhibiting constructive change. Yet-重要 as Ann Kelleher’s two recent case studies of the Thai villages Non Muang and Dong Keng illustrate, the nontechnological-versus-technological (30) dichotomy can lead researchers not only to overlook real advances achieved by rural development projects but also mistakenly to conclude that because such advances are initiated by rural leaders and are based on (35) traditional values and practices, they retard “real” economic development. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q35: 现象解释性— 1, 归纳reason 为based on the market economics of industrialized countries。 2, 反驳-- have overlooked the economic impact of rural factors 3, Then make some examples to explain Finally, summarize “can lead researchers not only overlook real advances” AND “but also mistakenly conclude that they retard “real” economic development.
The primary purpose of the passage is to
The primary purpose of the passage is to explain the true reasons for the increase in Thailand’s GDP
explain the true reasons for the increase in Thailand’s GDP argue for the adoption of certain rural development projects question the value of technological development in Thailand criticize certain assumptions about economic development in Thailand compare traditional and modern development strategies in Thailand Answer: D -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q36: It can be inferred from the passage that the term “real” in line 36 most likely refers to economic development that is - based on a technological development strategy not necessarily favored by most researchers
- initiated by rural leader 容易错。
such advances are initiated by rural leaders - a reflection of traditional values and practices
- difficult to measure statistically
Answer: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q37: The author of the passage cites the work of Palmer in order to give an example of - a recent case study of rural development projects in Thai villages
- current research that has attempted to reassess Thailand’s economic development
- an economics textbook that views nontechnological development as an obstacle to progress
- the prevalence of the view that regards nontechnological development as beneficial but inefficient
- a portrayal of nontechnological development projects as promoting constructive change
