Its traditional 27 is based on forestry, animal husbandry and subsistence agriculture.
答案:(D) economy
traditional economy(傳統經濟)呼應後文 these account for less than 50% of the GDP now(如今這些僅占國內生產毛額(GDP)不到一半),表示不丹過往的傳統經濟型態以林業、畜牧業與自給農業為基礎;culture/politics/religion 均不符合後文 GDP 的總體經濟學語境。
四個選項都是抽象名詞、都能接在 traditional 後面,你會憑印象挑一個;culture 尤其眼熟,因為整篇最後就在講傳統文化。
答對率不到五成,鑑別度高達 63,是本批最會分人的題目之一,分開的是有沒有先看空格後面列的那三樣東西。空格後是 based on forestry, animal husbandry and subsistence agriculture(以林業、畜牧業與自給農業為基礎)——三樣都是產業,是一個國家靠什麼生產與謀生的部分,那就是 economy(經濟)。填進去讀成 Its traditional economy is based on forestry, animal husbandry and subsistence agriculture。下一句用 GDP 這個經濟指標講「如今這些只占國內生產毛額不到一半」,再一次確認。
culture(文化)在整篇最後一段確實出現過(傳統藏傳佛教文化),形態也吻合,容易被順手選走,但文化不會「以林業與畜牧業為基礎」;politics(政治)與 religion(宗教)同理,三種產業撐不起政治或宗教。
be based on(以……為基礎)、forestry(林業)、animal husbandry(畜牧業)、subsistence agriculture(自給農業)、GDP(國內生產毛額)、landlocked(內陸的、不臨海的)。
