For over a decade the most common policy advice given to developing countries by international development institutions has been to copy the export-oriented path of the newly industrializing countries, the celebrated NICs. These economies-Brazil, Hong Kong, Mexico, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan-burst into the world manufacturing market in the late 1960s and the 1970s; by 1978 these six economies, along with India, enjoyed unequaled growth rates for gross national product and for exports, with exports accounting for 70 percent of the developing world's manufactured exports. It was, therefore, not surprising that dozens of other countries attempted to follow their model, yet no countries-with the possible exceptions of Malaysia and Thailand-have even approached their success. In "No More NICs," Robin Broad and John Cavanagh search for the reasons behind these failures, identifying far-reaching changes in the global economy-from synthetic substitutes for commodity exports to unsustainable levels of foreign debt-as responsible for a glut economy offering little room for new entrants. Despite these changes, the authors maintain, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund-the foremost international development institutions-have continued to promote the NIC path as the way for heavily indebted developing countries to proceed. And yet the futility of this approach should, according to the authors, be all too apparent so many years into a period of reduced growth in world markets.
Given the information in the passage, which of the following is a true statement about the NIC's?
Their economic success among developing countries has been exceeded only by the successes of Malaysia and Thailand.
By 1978 they produced 70 percent of the world's manufactured exports.
In the late 1970's, their growth rates for gross national product were among the highest in the world.
In recent years their development has been heavily subsidized by major international development institutions.
They received conflicting policy advice from international development institutions in the late 1960's and the 1970's.

正确答案是 C。因为文章中指出，这六个经济体在 1960 年代末和 1970 年代的 GND（国民生产总值）增长率“无与伦比”，而 B 仅仅指出它们 1978 年占 70% 的世界制造业出口，而 A 混淆了 Malaysia 和 Thailand 和 NICs 之间的关系，D 说的是近年来的发展，而 E 则说的是 1960 年代末和 1970 年代得到的政策建议，而文中并没有提到这一点。
unequaled：adj. 无与伦比的；无敌的
unequal 不平等的
unequaled 无以伦比的
A.exceeded 超过
B. NIC，along with India才达到70%
C.GDP增长率是世界里最高之一，unequaled adj. 无与伦比的，与highest对应，正确
D.国际发展组织补贴，原文没提
E.从机构处得到矛盾的政策建议，并不是NIC，而是后面想模仿的发展中国家
错选A。exceed-超过
unequal 不平等的
unequaled 无以伦比的
unequal 不平等的
unequaled 无以伦比的
unequal adj. 不平等的
unequaled adj. 无与伦比的
unequaled ——无与伦比，不可比较的
along with india
unequaled adj.无与伦比的，与D选项的highest替换
unequaled adj.无与伦比的，与D选项的highest替换
unequaled 无与伦比的
the developing world's manufactured exports
错误原因：vocabulary
unequaled 是unprecedentedly high的意思，当成不一样的意思了...
unequal adj. 不平等的
unequaled adj. 无与伦比的
by 1978 these six economies, along with India, enjoyed unequaled growth rates for gross national product and for exports, with exports accounting for 70 percent of the developing world's manufactured exports.....unequaled adj.无与伦比的，与D选项的highest替换
continued to promote the NIC path as the way for heavily indebted developing countries to proceed...heavily indebted developing是countries的修饰词吧。。文中只提到银行支持NIC这种方式并没说在经济上资助这种方式。另外unequaled 无与伦比的，无敌的
by 1978 these six economies, along with India, enjoyed unequaled growth rates for gross national product
unequaled 无与伦比的 所以是世界最高。。。。。。。
,D the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund-the foremost international development institutions-have continued to promote the NIC path as the way for heavily indebted developing countries to proceed.
错选A。 It was, therefore, not surprising that dozens of other countries attempted to follow their model, yet no countries-with the possible exceptions of Malaysia and Thailand-have even approached their success. 原文只是说马来西亚和泰国达到了他们的成功，没说超过，而且选项中说only被这两个国家超过，原文说的是在模仿他们的模式的国家中只有马和泰。
C correct。by 1978 these six economies, along with India, enjoyed unequaled （无可比拟的，空前的）growth rates for gross national product and for exports
