One proposal for preserving
rain forests is to
promote the adoption of
Line new agricultural technolo-
(5) gies, such as improved
plant varieties and use of
chemical herbicides, which
would increase productivity
and slow deforestation by
(10) reducing demand for new
cropland. Studies have
shown that farmers in
developing countries who
have achieved certain levels
(15) of education, wealth, and
security of land tenure are
more likely to adopt such
technologies. But these
studies have focused on
(20) villages with limited land
that are tied to a market
economy rather than on
the relatively isolated, selfsufficient
communities with
(25) ample land characteristic of
rain-forest regions. A recent
study of the Tawahka people
of the Honduran rain forest
found that farmers with some
(30) formal education were more
likely to adopt improved plant
varieties but less likely to
use chemical herbicides
and that those who spoke
(35) Spanish (the language of
the market economy) were
more likely to adopt both
technologies. Nonland
wealth was also associated
(40) with more adoption of both
technologies, but availability
of uncultivated land reduced
the incentive to employ the
productivity-enhancing tech-
(45) nologies. Researchers
also measured land-tenure
security: in Tawahka
society, kinship ties are a
more important indicator of
(50) this than are legal property
rights, so researchers
measured it by a household’s
duration of residence
in its village. They found
(55) that longer residence correlated
with more adoption
of improved plant varieties
but less adoption of
chemical herbicides.
The primary purpose of the passage is to
A. evaluate the likelihood that a particular proposal, if implemented, would
ultimately succeed in achieving its intended result
B. question the assumption that certain technological innovations are the most
effective means of realizing a particular environmental objective
C. discuss the progress of efforts to encourage a particular traditional society to
adopt certain modern agricultural methods
D. present the results of new research suggesting that previous findings concerning
one set of conditions may not be generalizable to another set of conditions
E. weigh the relative importance of three factors in determining whether a particular
strategy will be successful

Q12:
NOTE: You must scroll to read the answer choices for this question.
The passage suggests that in the study mentioned in line 27 the method for gathering information about security of land tenure reflects which of the following pairs of assumptions about Tawahka society?
A. The security of a household’s land tenure depends on the strength of that household’s kinship ties, and the duration of a household’s residence in its village is an indication of the strength of that household’s kinship ties.
B. The ample availability of land makes security of land tenure unimportant, and the lack of a need for secure land tenure has made the concept of legal property rights unnecessary.
C. The strength of a household’s kinship ties is a more reliable indicator of that household’s receptivity to new agricultural technologies than is its quantity of nonland wealth, and the duration of a household’s residence in its village is a more reliable indicator of that household’s security of land tenure than is the strength of its kinship ties.
D. Security of land tenure based on kinship ties tends to make farmers more receptive to the use of improved plant varieties, and security of land tenure based on long duration of residence in a village tends to make farmers more receptive to the use of chemical herbicides.
E. A household is more likely to be receptive to the concept of land tenure based on legal property rights if it has easy access to uncultivated land, and a household is more likely to uphold the tradition of land tenure based on kinship ties if it possesses a significant degree of nonland wealth.

Q13
The findings of the study mentioned in line 27, if valid for rain-forest regions in general, suggest that which of the following is an obstacle most likely to be faced by those wishing to promote rain-forest preservation by implementing the proposal mentioned in line 1?
A. Lack of legal property rights tends to discourage local farmers from investing the time and resources required to successfully implement new agricultural technologies.
B. The ability to evaluate the wider economic ramifications of adopting new aricultural technologies depends on a relatively high level of formal education.
C. Isolation from the market economy tends to restrict local farmers’ access to new agricultural technologies that could help them to increase their productivity.
D. Ready availability of uncultivated land tends to decrease local farmers’ incentive to adopt new agricultural technologies that would reduce their need to clear new land for cultivation.
E. Traditions of self-sufficiency and reliance on kinship ties tend to diminish local farmers’ receptivity to new agricultural technologies introduced by people from outside the local community.
line41－45 but后面的内容
Q12还是不大明白啊～
先顶上来～
A recent study of the Tawahka people of the Honduran rain forest found that farmers with some formal education were more likely to adopt improved plant varieties but less likely to use chemical herbicides and that those who spoke Spanish (the language of the market economy) were more likely to adopt both technologies.
Nonland wealth was also associated with more adoption of both technologies, but availability of uncultivated land reduced the incentive to employ the productivity-enhancing technologies.
Researchers also measured land-tenure security: in Tawahka society, kinship ties are a more important indicator of this than are legal property rights, so researchers measured it by a household’s duration of residence in its village.
They found that longer residence correlated with more adoption of improved plant varieties but less adoption of chemical herbicides.
上述句子中的第3句说明了A选项的内容。
可否再讲解一下13, 为什么就单单选中了availability of uncultivated, 没有感觉出文章给出暗示啊?
请教了
对于13题，The findings of the study mentioned in line 27, if valid for rain-forest regions in general, suggest that which of the following is an obstacle most likely to be faced by those wishing to promote rain-forest preservation by implementing the proposal mentioned in line 1?
首先看第一句：One proposal for preserving rain forests is to
promote the adoption of new agricultural technologies, such as improved plant varieties and use of chemical herbicides, which would increase productivity and slow deforestation by reducing demand for new cropland.
再看27行：A recent study of the Tawahka people of the Honduran rain forest found that farmers with some formal education were more likely to adopt improved plant varieties but less likely to use chemical herbicides and that those who spoke Spanish (the language of the market economy) were more likely to adopt both technologies. Nonland wealth was also associated with more adoption of both technologies, but availability of uncultivated land reduced the incentive to employ the productivity-enhancing technologies. 这里的第2句也是上述研究的内容。
关于第13题的原文定位有不同的意见：大家似乎都认为这题的定位在第41行，但我认为应该就在第25行的一个字ample.
Q13:
The findings of the study mentioned in line 27, if valid for rain-forest regions in general, suggest that which of the following is an obstacle most likely to be faced by those wishing to promote rain-forest preservation by implementing the proposal mentioned in line 1?
A. Lack of legal property rights tends to discourage local farmers from investing the time and resources required to successfully implement new agricultural technologies.
B. The ability to evaluate the wider economic ramifications of adopting new aricultural technologies depends on a relatively high level of formal education.
C. Isolation from the market economy tends to restrict local farmers’ access to new agricultural technologies that could help them to increase their productivity.
D. Ready availability of uncultivated land tends to decrease local farmers’ incentive to adopt new agricultural technologies that would reduce their need to clear new land for cultivation.
E. Traditions of self-sufficiency and reliance on kinship ties tend to diminish local farmers’ receptivity to new agricultural technologies introduced by people from outside the local community.
正确选项D中的ready availability对应于这里的ample.

这篇文章好烦啊，考试遇到决定放弃。
access和adopt是一个不选C的原因，另外一个从结构上来看
几个影响雨林人不用农药的因素：雨林人（isolation）即使受教育也不如SPANISH（market economy）人接受农药（但是他们只是不接受另外一项新技术：多种植栽培，所以C不对：ISOLATION并没有限制雨林人和农药的接近，接近以后就接受了）；NONLAND会接受但是如果有未开垦土地（availability）就不会接受BOTH；long residence=kinship tie=land tenure会接受不同种类植物但是不接受农药
12题的assumption我有个想法，细读45行后的内容时，发现行文中有gap，我认为这道假定题就是补出gap的题型，所以相关的几个元素(关键词）在答案中必然出现，由此最终选择A。
这篇文章我还是没搞明白第一个主题题，郁闷，难道说首句只是个引出话题的作用？一般来说主题内容总得和首句有点儿关系吧。
