【The key factor in the success of thesecountries (along with high literacy, which contributed to it) was their abilityto adapt to the international division of labor determined by the earlyindustrializers and to stake out areas of specialization in internationalmarkets for which they were especially well suited】.
This meant a great dependence oninternational commerce, which had notorious fluctuations; but it also meanthigh returns to those factors of production that were fortunate enough to bewell placed in times of prosperity. In Sweden exports accounted for 18 percentof the national income in 1870, and in 1913, 22 percent of a much largernational income. In the early twentieth century, Denmark exported 63 percent ofits agricultural production: butter, pork products, and eggs. It exported 80percent of its butter, almost all to Great Britain, where it accounted for 40percent of British butter imports.


10. Which of the sentences below best expressesthe essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrectchoices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information
○ the earlyindustrializes controlled most of the international economy, leaving thesecountries to stake out new areas of specialization along the margins.
○ aided by their high literacy rates these countries were able toclaim key areas of specialization within established international markets.
○ high literacy rates enabled these countries to take overinternational markets and adapt the international division of labor to suittheir strengths.
○ the internationaldivision of labor established by the early industrializes was well suited tothese countries, a key factor in their success.

为什么选B啊？ 我怎么觉得哪个都没反应出原来的意思呢？ 知道的来解释下啊~

是这样，key factor =事件A,B. 括号的促成了Key factor=事件A，B. 确实是有点问题这个题目，看句子结构的话是key factor=A,B,但是如果更全的话应该是括号的内容导致了key factor=事件A，B，然后由于后两者相等，就直接称了括号中的内容促成了事件A,B。不知道我啰嗦的这些你懂了没。 4# hycqy

这个题有点玄机啊，其实括号里面的是重点，是解释成功占领细分市场的原因，我觉得理解了这个逻辑就很容易地选择B了。后面的就是简化而已了。

2# huaimingyun 但是括号里的成分应该是非主要成分  甚至不是句子的完整部分啊  句子的主干应该是两种能力（ability to...and to...）是这些国家成功的要素  选项里没有表达出整句完整意思的啊  即使考虑括号中的内容 B选项仍然没有表达出原句子的意思 而且逻辑关系也不对 B说的是high literacy使得claim key areas of specialization within established international markets （我们姑且称其为A事件）  而原句子中说的是A事件和adapt to the international division of labor determined by the earlyindustrializers（称其为B事件）是这些国家成功的因素   
这完全不是一回事儿啊

看看我这样解释行不？
The key factor in the success of these countries (along with high literacy, which contributed to it) was their ability to = aided by their high literacy rates these countries were able to

adapt to the international division of labor determined by the earlyindustrializers and to stake out areas of specialization in internationalmarkets for which they were especially well suited = claim key areas of specialization within established international markets

括号的内容导致了key factor=事件A，B

我觉得这个很对  也是在这道题目的问题所在  答案竟然把which contributed to it作为了依据....而括号里的内容不应该作为句子的主干啊....  呵呵 题目真奇怪 这样讲的话which contributed to it中的it指的又是什么  success 还是后面的那两个因素？

我觉得下面那个人的说法跟我的想法很相似 也就是说你的你一个等号的依据是括号里的内容  但是我觉得括号里的内容不应该作为句子的主干内容 呵呵 这个题目真奇怪

括号里的内容有时也有用吧。。。我记得GRE里面有些题也要用到括号里的内容。。。这题唯一让人感觉不舒服的就是改写后将括号的内容去括号化了。。。但是唯有B是最接近的我认为。

it 指的是key factor =事件A，B 7# hycqy

原句：The key factor in the success of these countries (along with high literacy, which contributed to it) was their ability to adapt to the international division of labor determined by the early industrializers and to stake out areas of specialization in international markets for which they were especially well suited.

翻译：（高识字率是这些国家取得成功的一个促进因素，除此以外，）它们成功的关键因素是：它们具备适应（由早期工业化国家确立的）国际劳动分工和占据国际市场中适合本国的专业化领域的能力。

“由早期工业化国家确立的”是修饰语，相对不重要，直接看括号外的主干信息。

该句陈述了帮助这些国家取得成功的两种关键能力，而括号中的识字率是along with（伴随其他因素存在着），就是说是辅助（aid）的，所以其他因素是aided by 高识字率。

B选项：aided by their high literacy rates these countries were able to claim key areas of specialization within established international markets.
B选项翻译：在高识字率的帮助下，这些国家能够在已经确立的国际市场中占据关键的专业化领域。

其中：
aided by their high literacy rates = along with high literacy
claim key areas of specialization = stake out areas of specialization
within established international markets = adapt to the international division of labor determined by the early industrializers

因此，B选项结合了三方面因素，且逻辑关系正确。

我觉得楼上说的很有道理，受教了~~~

刚做完TPO18，这道题是我整个reading section中唯一错了一道题。所以虽然是老帖，还是上来说一下我的想法。

【The key factor in the success of thesecountries (along with high literacy, which contributed to it) was their abilityto adapt to the international division of labor determined by the earlyindustrializers and to stake out areas of specialization in internationalmarkets for which they were especially well suited】.) d) v! f$ J; } This meant a great dependence oninternational commerce, which had notorious fluctuations; but it also meanthigh returns to those factors of production that were fortunate enough to bewell placed in times of prosperity.

总的来说，我觉得可以用排除法。
选项A，这句话的意思原文没有提到，原文没有说早期工业化国家控制了大部分的国际经济。因此排除。
选项C，原文并没有说荷兰和北欧国家统治国际市场，因此C也排除
选项D，原文说的是荷兰和北欧那些国家适应了早期工业化国家的国际劳动力划分，这是他们成功的原因，而选项D说的是早期工业化国家的国际劳动力划分适应了荷兰和北欧国家，这是典型的因果倒置，所以排除。

至于选项B，其实我觉得我被迷惑的点就是，原文明显是两个原因A（适应劳动力划分）和B（成功细分了市场）共同促成了成功。可选择B没有提到劳动力划分。后来才发现，原来原文括号的内容不能忽略，原因A和B的促成因素是括号内容（就是high literacy rate），这才是根本的根本。而且B并没有错误，相比起ACD而言，自然选B。

最后，鄙视这道绕来绕去的题目~！
