During the 1950’s and 1960’s, the primary economic development strategy of local governments in Europe was to attract manufacturing industries. Unfortunately, this strategy was usually implemented at another community’s expense…
In the 1970’s the strategy shifted from this zero-sum game to one called “high-technology development”. Although this approach was preferable to victimizing other geographical areas by taking their jobs, it also had its shortcomings...
Recently, local governments have increasingly come to recognize the advantages of yet a third strategy: the promotion of homegrown small businesses...
文章的逻辑结构可以提炼为：
P1: 1950’s and 1960’s...manufacturing industries...Unfortunately (–)...
P3: Recently...advantages(+)…homegrown small businesses…
上面文章对于第一段谈到的经济发展战略manufacturing industries是负评价，由Unfortunately看出来；对第二段谈到的经济发展战略high-technology development是大负小正评价，由Although, preferable和 shortcomings看出来；对第三段谈到的经济发展战略homegrown small businesses是正评价，由advantages看出来。了解逻辑关系对于了解阅读出题重点和快速阅读有重要意义。
请看下面的题目：
The author of the passage mentions which of the following as an advantage of high technology development?
(A) It encourages the modernization of existing manufacturing facilities.
(B) It promotes healthy competition between rival industries.
(C) It encourages the growth of related industries.
(D) It takes full advantage of the existing workforce.
(E) It does not advantage one local workforce at the expense of another.
【解析】根据题干high-technology development定位到文章第二段，根据题干advantage定位到文中Although this approach was preferable to victimizing other geographical areas（尽管这种方法优于牺牲其他地理区域），即高科技是不牺牲其他地理区域的，故答案选E。
The general density dependence model can be applied to explain he founding of specialist firms...At low density levels, each founding increases legitimation, reducing barriers to entry and easing subsequent foundings. Competition occurs because the resources that firms seek—customers, suppliers, and employees—are limited, but as long as density is low relative to plentiful resources, the addition of another firm has a negligible impact on the intensity of competition. At high density levels, however, competitive effects outweigh legitimation effects, discouraging foundings. The more numerous the competitors, the fiercer the competition will be
and the smaller will be the incentive for new firms to enter the field.
文章的逻辑结构可以提炼为：
...can be applied to (+)...At low density levels...At high density levels, however...The more...the fiercer...the smaller...
文中前面谈到At low density levels，后面谈到At high density levels，根据上面的方法，At low density levels…intensity of competition的文字可以直接跳读。另外，从At high Density levels后面的强转折词however也可以看出后面是考查重点。
