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 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Robert Heilbroner’s now outdated develop-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.

作者从头到尾都是在批评,你看用的词语和语气多刻薄亚,

以下是引用lj_hq在2004-12-8 1:31:00的发言：

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

请问Ａ是从哪里得来的阿？Ｂ为什么不对呢？

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.

这里说了

农业的不能在gdp里反映出来，所以gdp并不是完整真实的，它只反映

了科技带来的经济增长。

而且，real用了引号，就是反语了

应该是B.

argue for  赞成

全文的主题句: L7-16 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 ....后面都是论据.

所以主题是:criticize that these researchers did not adopt nontechnological rural development projects. == argue for the adoption of rural development profects.

C 和 D 的动词是对的, 但宾语不对.

ring_cheng

vote for D,        同意JerryGuan的意见。

进行多次阅读原文和题目之后，赞成35题选D。

B不是文章的中心所在，作者一直在说那些researchers受教条主义的影响，把经济的发展主要归因于技术的发展策略，忽视了一个农村开放项目的作用。然后说是受到某个学霸的影响。。。

把握文章主题之后，就发现argue for adoption确实不好。因为文中并没有说采用还是不采用，而是哪些家伙忽视了农村开发项目在经济发展中的impact。

而D就好得多。

GDP是科学家拿来作为TECH发展的一个指标,而作者认为还又

Q35:

The primary purpose of the passage is to

                        

1. explain the true reasons for the increase in Thailand’s GDP
2. argue for the adoption of certain rural development projects
3. question the value of technological development in Thailand
4. criticize certain assumptions about economic development in Thailand
5. compare traditional and modern development strategies in Thailand

答案C 作者是在Question tech development 在Thailand中的Value,不是么?

B--文章说到rural development是nontech development 的代表,而非在说rural development 本身 是该adopt or not.

D--assumptions,几个假设,科学家拿GDP作为tech development 的代表来衡量经济,

没有做出任何假设.怎么可以说我拿GDP来作为假设呢?我觉得说不通.

windflower560

作者认为科学家过高的用technological development 作解释，而忽视了nontech development作用。但B中，argue for the adoption 是没有根据的。而D中，assumption也没有根据.

C是对的.大家认为呢?
