People who grew up in America and Western Europe have become used
to the idea that the West dominates the world economy. In fact, it is normal【S1】________
that a group of 30-odd countries with a small fraction of the world’s
population should be calling the shots. For most of human history,
economic power has been determined in demography. In 1700, the world’s【S2】________
biggest economy (and leading cotton producer) was India, of a population【S3】________
of 165m, followed by China, with 138m. Britain’s 8. 6m people produced
less than 3% of the world’s input. Even in 1820, as the industrial【S4】________
revolution in Britain was gathering pace, the two Asian giants still counted【S5】________
for half the world’s GDP.
The spread of purpose-built manufactories like Quarry Bank Mill separated
economic power and population, increasingly so as the West got richer. Be【S6】________
able to make a lot of more stuff with fewer workers meant that even a small【S7】________
country could be a giant economic power. By 1870, the average income in
Britain was six times larger than India. But by the eve of the first world【S8】________
war, Britain’s income per head had been overtaken by it of America, the【S9】________
20th century’s great power.
America remains the world’s biggest economy, but that status is in【S10】________
threat from a resurgent China. With hindsight, its change in fortune can be traced to 1976. [br] 【S5】
选项
答案
counted→accounted
解析
动词搭配误用。account for意思是“(数量上、比例上)占……”,而count for意思是“对……有价值”。根据句意可知,该处表示“两个亚洲国家占世界GDP的一半”,故将counted改为accounted。
