GWD 6-35

handsup

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.  Yet by focusing solely on aggre-

gate economic growth data as the measure

of Thailand’s development, these research-

(10)      ers have overlooked the 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 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Robert Heilbroner’s now outdated develop-

(20)      ment theory, tend to view nontechnological

       development as an obstacle to progress.

       Heilbroner’s theory has become doctrine in

some economics textbooks:  for example,

Monte Palmer disparages nontechnological

(25)      rural development projects as inhibiting

constructive change.  Yet 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:

The primary purpose of the passage is to

              

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: B

我总觉得答案是C，难道说是因为文章的重点在于“支持rural deve”，而不在于“反对technological deve”？但是B中的certain又是指什么呢？

大家的看法呢？

谢谢大家了

兄弟，提问前最好先看一下讨论汇总或搜索一下.因为好多前人的精彩研究错过了太可惜了

这题答案在CD中摇摆,B是肯定不对的.请看前人讨论连接
