(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, as an example of the success of a modern technological development strategy based on the market economics of industrialized countries.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 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; such projects are not adequately reflected in the country’s GDP.These researchers, influenced by Robert Heilbroner’s now outdated development theory, tend to view nontechnological development as an obstacle to progress.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 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.


GWD6-Q35:

The primary purpose of the passage is to



C.question the value of technological development in Thailand


D.criticize certain assumptions about economic development in Thailand







第N次错MI了！！！
我觉得这篇文章对many researcher的看法提了批评
Yet by focusing solely on aggregate economic growth data as the measure of Thailand’s development,
（这个算主题句吗？）
然后我想问为什么C不对啊？？？
还有D哪来的assumption啊

edwardelric

我在文章中顶多找到了这些研究员受了RH那已经过时的发展理论的影响，倾向认为非技术发展是(经济)进步的障碍。我顶多看到了这个
c说的是文章质疑在t科技发展的价值，我在文章中没有发现
gmat阅读不是托福阅读，有的题需要我们总结的，不是每个选项在原文中都有对应点的，对于这个题
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 people’s daily lives at the village level
这个就是提点，下面的是分述~
再有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
最后讲的二分法对于经济发展的研究弊端
你在这句话中就能体验出来assumption是对的
楼主总结题是弱项，多练习句子的准确分析

主题题型是不好做，俺也老错。不过这篇文章的确没有对T的技术发展的Value进行question。

对于D中的assumption可以这样看出：作者对researchers肯定是持负评价，而researchers又是受Heilbroner’s theory的影响，所以作者对Heilbroner’s theory也是负评价。这些可以从文中的红色字看出来；由于受到影响，这些researchers在做研究的时候就会tend to view (这里体会assumption)；然后在后面Ann Kelleher’s two recent case 对其批评中，又说了这个两分论can lead researchers to (这里再次体会assumption)。因为researchers 就是受了Heilbroner’s theory的影响，才会这样去考虑问题，所以researchers以Heilbroner’s theory作为研究T's ecenomic development的assumption

C.question the value of technological development in Thailand

D.criticize certain assumptions about economic development in Thailand
