Technological Utopia for Developing Countries
Cyberspace（网络空间）,data superhighways, multi-media, the linking of computers, television and telephones will change our lives forever. Yet for all the talk of a forthcoming technological utopia（乌托邦）,little attention has been given to the implications of these developments for the poor. As with all new high technology,the West concerns itself with the"how to benefit".The question of"for whom"is put aside once again.
Economists are only now realizing the full extent to which the communications revolution has affected the world economy.Information technology allows the extension of trade across geographical and industrial boundaries,and transnational corporations take full advantage of it. Terms of trade ex-change,interest rates and money movements are more important than the production of goods.The electronic economy made possible by information revolution.Technology allows the haves to increase their control on global markets and with destructive impact on the have-nots.
For them the result is instability. Developing countries which rely on the production of a small range of goods for export are made to feel like small parts in the international economic machine.As "futures"（期货）are traded on computer screens, developing countries simply have less and less control of their destinies.
So what are the options for regaining control?One alternative is for developing countries to buy in the latest computers and telecommunications themselves一so-called"development communications"modernization.Yet this leads to long-term dependency and perhaps permanent constraints on developing countries' economies.
Communications technology is generally exported from the U.S.,Europe or Japan.The patents, skills and ability to manufacture remain in the hands of a few industrialized countries.
Furthermore,when new technology is introduced,there is often too low a level of expertise to exploit native development.This means that while local elites,foreign communities and subsidiaries of transitional corporations may benefit,but not developing countries.

参考解析
解析：题干意思为：从文章中我们可以知道，发展高科技对谁有利。本篇文章一直在强调发达国家从中获益，发展中国家为受害国，因此A选项“富裕国家”符合题意。
题干意思为：可以从文章中推断出什么。根据第1段中As with all new high technology,the West concerns itself with the"how benefit”.The question of"for whom"is put aside once again．可知，对于所有的高新科技，西方国家关心的是“如何获益”，而“谁会获益”的问题再一次被搁置。和西方国家相对立的即为发展中国家。
题干的意思为：作者为什么说电子经济对发展中国家有破坏性的影响？根据文章第2段最后一句Technology allows the haves to increase their control on global markets and with destructive impact on the have-nots可知，科技使得富国增加了对全球市场的控制，而给穷国带来了破坏性的打击。因此A选项符合题意。其他选项文中未提及。
题干意思为：现代通讯技术的发展对发展中国家有什么影响。根据文章第4段最后一句Yet this leads to long-term dependency and perhaps permanent constraints on developing countries' economies可知，通讯技术的发展导致了发展中国家长期的依赖，也许会永久地限制发展中国家的经济发展。
题干的意思为：作者对于通讯革命持什么态度。从全篇可知，作者“批评” 了科技发展对于发展中国家造成的不利影响。
