GWD-6-Q35 to GWD-6-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Robert Heilbroner’s now outdated develop-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

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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GWD-6-Q36:

It can be inferred from the passage that the term “real” in line 36 most likely refers to economic development that is

               

1. based on a technological development strategy
   
2. not necessarily favored by most researchers
   
3. initiated by rural leader
   
4. a reflection of traditional values and practices
   
5. difficult to measure statistically

37题也不会阿，请高人指教

怎么没人理我呢？

加拿大帅哥

我来尝试解释一下:

Q36 重点是看懂问题和找到相关信息

It can be inferred from the passage that the term “real” in line 36 most likely refers to economic development that is

推断出“real"经济发展最可能引用的/相关的是：

思路文章就提了2种经济发展战略：nontechnological & technological（L29)

很显然这里的Real 是指 technological

Q37

The author of the passage cites the work of Palmer in order to give an example of

 

1. a recent case study of rural development projects in Thai villages
2. current research that has attempted to reassess Thailand’s economic development
3. an economics textbook that views nontechnological development as an obstacle to progress
4. the prevalence of the view that regards nontechnological development as beneficial but inefficient
5. a portrayal of nontechnological development projects as promoting constructive change

只要把文章中这个for example 前面的判断陈述找出来，就可选择答案了（L19--22)

The correct answer is C.

我觉得第36题要从‘real'带出的整段话来讲
Yet as Ann Kelleher’s two recent case studies of the Thai villages Non Muang and Dong Keng illustrate, the nontechnological-versus-technological 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 traditional values and practices, they retard “real” economic development.

这里的they是指那些rural leaders,实际上他们是阻碍了所谓的'real'  economic development. 所以'real'  economic development是指前面文中谈到的那些technological development.

不知道这样对不对
