问题 Look at the statements below and the five extracts on the opposite page from newspaper articles about economic development of the five places in the world.
Which extract(A, B, C, D or E)does each statement(1-8)refer to?
For each statement(1-6), mark one letter(A, B, C, D or E)on your Answer Sheet.
You will need to use some of these letters more than once.
There is an example at the beginning(0).
Example:
0 Mining is the major industry of the area.

A
Jharkhand, a state that traditionally has focused on agriculture, is attracting big international investors as the costs of land and labour rise in coastal regions. In 2007 alone, 187 new foreign enterprises had established presences in the state. Jharkhand’s main draw—low wages and cheap land—will continue to provide incentives for Foreign Direct Investment in the years to come. The state capital Ranchi, a six-hour bus ride from Kolkata, accounts for about 30 percent of the total investment in the state.
B
Vietnam will continue to invest heavily in its agricultural future. Rice is the major product of the country, and Vietnam’s ever-growing food demands will see that crop yields will need to be consistently high. Hi-tech research is required, and government policies will ensure that more R&D investment is put in the country. Hi-tech industries also are setting up in a number of development zones, many of which were opened around 2003 and are growing rapidly thanks to favourable incentives.
C
The future of Hubei is largely dependant on the success of the Three Gorges Dam project. As a result, there have been many upgrades of Hubei’s river ports, and there is likely to be many more as larger volumes of cargo are transported up and down the river. Wuhan intends to turn itself into the major manufacturing hub of central China. With the flow of river traffic from the Three Gorges and government incentives to move manufacturing inland, Wuhan is more likely to succeed in this aim, with further enterprises linked to exports and distributors likely to find a base in the city.
D
Philippines plans to invest more than $200 billion in infrastructure development in 2007. A large portion of Philippines’ industrial output is related to its rich mineral deposits, with the smelting and pressing of ferrous and non-ferrous metals accounting for 19.6 percent of the total industrial output. Related manufacturing industries have been relocating to Philippines in recent years from Singapore and Malaysia. In the future, manufacture will continue to be a major industry in Philippines.
E
Manitoba is rich in natural resources and is a major source of timber products in Canada. It boasts rich deposits of copper, silver and uranium. There is a great need to further increase infrastructure, especially roads and rails. The province’s located at the crossroads of the nation’s two largest economic engines. Tourism is one of the major hopes here as the far west of the province is becoming more popular and accessible for those traveling to the lake routes.
The country has carried out lots of favourable policies for hi-tech industries developing here.
