以下这道题是Prep1的，这道我觉得应该是B啊，可答案是C，似乎通篇下来没有evaluating的意思，请各位nn指教

Essay #17.  549    (23848-!-item-!-188;#058&00549-00)

Many people believe that because wages are lower in developing countries than in developed countries, competition from developing countries in goods traded internationally will soon eliminate large numbers of jobs in developed countries.  Currently, developed countries' advanced technology results in higher productivity, which accounts for their higher wages.  Advanced technology is being transferred ever more speedily across borders, but even with the latest technology, productivity and wages in developing countries will remain lower than in developed countries for many years because developed countries have better infrastructure and better-educated workers.  When productivity in a developing country does catch up, experience suggests that wages there will rise.  Some individual firms in developing countries have raised their productivity but kept their wages (which are influenced by average productivity in the country's economy) low.  However, in a developing country's economy as a whole, productivity improvements in goods traded internationally are likely to cause an increase in wages.  Furthermore, if wages are not allowed to rise, the value of the country's currency will appreciate, which (from the developed countries' point of view) is the equivalent of increased wages in the developing country.  And although in the past a few countries have deliberately kept their currencies undervalued, that is now much harder to do in a world where capital moves more freely.

本文一開頭Many people believe...

選項B "a generally accepted principle"與選項C "a commonly held belief".

至於动词evaluate，要怎样判断，我也不是很懂，看後面有没有同学可以帮忙一下。

iamlawrence

我始终想不明白为什么是C，因为刚开始就出一个本文 a generally accepted principle（Many people believe that ），然后再接下来的论述就在讨论这个principle的内涵和外延（implication），这些都与B选项吻合：反观C，文章不仅仅只是present information吧，而且并没有表现出对某方的倾向，所以这个evalution也不知从何说起。

谢谢楼上意见。

大家帮忙继续看一下啊。

大家不看一下？

解题的关键：

B:implications 代表这个理论的衍生

C:Evaluating 代表判断这个理论是否正确。文章的中心意思是wage会上升，也就是开头的理论不正确。
