22、的控制,而对没有这一技术的国家产生了破坏性的影响。因此可以推断出这些技术代表的是西方发达国家的利益。2答案B解析考查推理判断。文章第一段第二句指出“.little attention has been given to . the poor”, 即很少有人注意这些发展对穷人的意义。而由后文的论述可以看出这里的“穷人”指的就是发展中国家,因此这句话的意思实际上就是这些发展并没有顾及发展中国家的利益。3答案A解析考查细节理解。根据第二段最后一句“.allows the haves to increase their control on global markets.”以及后文的论述可以看出,这里

23、的“the haves”指的就是西方发达国家,因此答案为A项。4答案D解析考查细节理解。文章第四段最后一句说“Yet this leads to long-term dependency.economies (然而这会导致长期的依赖,也许会对发展中国家的经济产生永久性的制约)”,也就是说会使发展中国家失去经济独立。5答案B解析考查作者态度。本题较为简单,通过文中措辞,如第一段“little attention has.for the poor”；第二段“Economists are only now realizing.”；第三段“For them the result is unstable.”等不难看出作者对这种代表着发达国家利益、不顾及发展中国家利益的通讯革命是持批评态度的,故选B；误选C项和D项是由于不理解词义所造成的。欢迎广大教师踊跃来稿，稿酬丰厚。
