Extensive new studies suggest that die world has made extraordinary progress in reducing poverty in recent decades. The research suggests that the pace of economic progress has been rapid and continued for decades, built on the foundations of relative political stability, rising trade, and economic liberalization after two world wars. One new study, published recently by the Institute for International Economics in Washington, find that the proportion of the 6.1 billion people in the world who live on $ 1 a day or less shrank from 63 percent in 1950 to 35 percent in 1955 and 12 percent in 1999. By some other measures, the progress has been more modest. Still, economists agree that poverty has plunged in key nations such as India and especially China, thanks to slowing population growth as well as economic freedom. "This is a huge success for the world as a whole," says Harvard University economist Richard Cooper. "We are doing something right."
The news comes as the World Bank is about to open its annual meeting in Washington—an event that has been troubled in recent years by protests that the Bank and its sister Institution, the International Monetary Fund (IMF 国际货币组织) , have done too little for the world’ s poor. The new economic research will not put an end to that dispute. Vast populations remain poor, and many still question the wisdom of World Bank policies. Nonetheless, the research findings are helpful to understand what policies should be followed by those institutions and hundreds of other development groups working very hard to hasten the pace of world economic progress. If dramatic gains are under way, the present policies-calling for open markets, free business activities, and tight monetary control—are working and correct.
But critics of IMF and World Bank policies maintain that such economic success stories as Japan, China, South Korea and Singapore are rooted in more than just "free" markets. These nations have managed to grow rapidly, and thereby reduce poverty, by limiting imports when their domestic industries were young, pushing exports to rich nations, and putting controls on purely international financial flows. They have been open to foreign-owned factories but have often insisted that those investors share the knowledge and skill on modern technologies.
According to the author, the economy of East Asian countries grew very fast because of the following measures EXCEPT______.
选项
A、encouraging export
B、opening up to foreign investments
C、limiting international financial flows
D、controlling import
答案
B
解析
细节题。根据文章最后一段提到的“These nations have managed to grow rapidly,and thereby reduce poverty,by limiting imports when their domestic industries were young,pushing exports to rich nations,and putting controls on purely international financial flows.They have been open to foreign-owned factories but have often insisted that those investors share the knowledge and skill on modern technologies.”可知,这些国家通过限制本国工业发展初期的进口,推动对富裕国家的出口,并对纯粹的国际金融流动进行控制,从而实现快速增长和减少贫困。他们一直对外资企业开放,但他们坚称,这些投资者必须分享他们的现代技术和知识技能。故选B。

汉字的优点是否即是一切象形文字的优点呢?笔者认为,汉字决非仅仅是象形文字。汉字不仅具象(象形),而且有想象(形声、会意、转注)和抽象(指事、假借)。古人的“六书”法则早就指出了这一点。汉字是兼具象、想象与抽象三者为一体的艺术化文字。这恰恰道出了汉字永存于世
