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.

q12 我觉得关键就是搞清楚 this and it 分别指代什么，答案就很清楚了

in my view, no matter what in line 25 or line 41,the answer d is obviously right.

１３开始选了Ｃ，都是被它的定位２７行给害的……哼，现在想明白啦～～文章在说接不接受新技术是障碍，Ｃ在说能不能接触到新技术是障碍～唉～低级错误哦～

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。
