问题提问是before 1997.

结合One point these journalists overlooked is that in 1997, as in the twenty-four years immediately preceding it， preceding it 就是在1997之前，
后一句是重点：the real GDP per capita grew （nearly one-half percent a year） more slowly than it had on average between 1873 and 1973

文章说的是growth rate of average ，是一个1997前24年的增长率，和1873到1973的增长率的比较，题目问的的是average rate 增长的如何，而不是每一年的gdp的比较，！！！注意重点，每一年的gdp比较更定是1997最高，但是一个时间段的avrage rate grow 肯定是1873到1973 的数字大于1997前24年

文中只有一处出现了1997年之前24年间GDP在增长这句话，“One point these journalists overlooked is that in 1997, as in the twenty-four years immediately preceding it, the real GDP per capita grew nearly one-half percent a year more slowly than it had on average between 1873 and 1973. ”就说了24年间的比1873-1973年间的more slowly，slowly的原因没有介绍，后面说的都是1997年与1873-1973年的对比了，没有再提过这24年。
在1997年，正如之前的24年一样，实际的人均GDP增长速度比起在1873-1973年之间的增长速度放缓了0.5%。-> 只给出了增长放缓的事实，没有阐述背后的原因

One point these journalists overlooked is that in 1997, as in the twenty-four years immediately preceding it, the real GDP per capita grew nearly one-half percent a year more slowly than it had on average between 1873 and 1973.
B选项两个错误点：1.文中原句指出1873-1973年间average的值，不是每年的值；2.原文中提及的原因是1997和（1873 and 1973）的对比，而不是1997年之前和（1873 and 1973）的对比。
看清楚题！！！

A.the growth rate of real GDP per capita in 1997 would have surpassed the average growth rate of real GDP per capita between 1873 and 1973 because over fifty percent of the population worked for wages in 1997.按理说1997工作的人数多，GDP人均应该增长得快，A的因果错了
B.If the growth rate of labor productivity (output per hour of goods and services) in 1997 had equaled its average growth rate between 1873 and 1973 .也就是说labor productivity在1997这个时间段是减少了的，不是像B说的一样“增速变慢”，它根本没增
C.无关，GDP是商品创造的价值，跟工资多少没关系
D.正确。the real GDP per capita grew nearly one-half percent a year more slowly than it had on average between 1873 and 1973
E.不是吧不是吧？不会真有屑考生让1997自己比自己吧？（bushi

题目都没弄清楚，问的是之前24年

1997年之前的24年，关于GDP的平均增长率的说法哪一项是正确的
定位：in 1997, as in the twenty-four years immediately preceding it, the real GDP per capita grew nearly one-half percent a year more slowly than it had on average between 1873 and 1973.
在1997年，正如之前的24年一样，实际的人均GDP增长速度比起在1873-1973年之间的增长速度放缓了0.5%。-> 只给出了增长放缓的事实，没有阐述背后的原因

”就说了24年间的比1873-1973年间的more slowly，slowly的原因没有介绍

文中只有一处出现了1997年之前24年间GDP在增长这句话，“One point these journalists overlooked is that in 1997, as in the twenty-four years immediately preceding it, the real GDP per capita grew nearly one-half percent a year more slowly than it had on average between 1873 and 1973. ”就说了24年间的比1873-1973年间的more slowly，slowly的原因没有介绍，后面说的都是1997年与1873-1973年的对比了，没有再提过这24年。

as in the twenty-four years immediately preceding it, the real GDP per capita grew nearly one-half percent a year more slowly than it had on average between 1873 and 1973.

Ron说you can see why: if either A or B were true, then D would have to be true as well!。。。

because labor productivity grew by only one percent in 1997, real GDP per capita grew more slowly in 1997 than it had on average between 1873 and 1973.结合前面的生产力的2%在b和c还是选错了，求解释

One point these journalists overlooked is that in 1997, as in the twenty-four years immediately preceding it, the real GDP per capita grew nearly one-half percent a year more slowly than it had on average between 1873 and 1973.
这句话是说：
1997年只之前的24年，每年的人均GDP都比1873至1973的平价水平少？

这个题我似乎还是没有 get the point?

是 average rate吗？

这题真该死，我把人均GDP和GDP总量搞到一起了。虽然做题时，注意到这两个概念的差别，但是却忽视了什么因素不会对人均GDP造成影响
