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.

Q1: (10-10)
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
Answer
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
why D? someone explain it for me? 3x

D is right.
please check in the article, the author have mentioned many times "studies have shown ..." in line 11, 29, ... but I did not find any asssumption, evaluation, nor did i see any progressess and importance mentioned in the given information. so I choose D.
by the way, what is opinion to the q13, the answer is D. i could not understand very well.
Even this article is not too long, but the questions and choices are very confused. I made all the wrong choices in my first-time exercise.

got it,I haven't checked the artical more carefully 
To your question:Q4: (10-13)
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.
Answer
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
we are told in line 41-45:
" but availability of uncultivated land reduced the incentive to employ the productivity-enhancing tech-nologies"
and in line 4-11 we are told :
"new agricultural technolo- gies, such as improved plant varieties and use of chemical herbicides, which would increase productivity and slow deforestation by reducing demand for new cropland."
so choice D is right

确实非常的tricky,我第一遍看选E，第二遍选B，郁闷S了，后来，才狠狠地看了文章好几遍。才发现D答案，样子虽然少见，但确是答案。。。
我想说的是，这题的难点在于，（1）多个条件相互交叉，呈矩阵形，非常容易混；（2）这题的12、13两问的题目给出的定位行号肯定有问题。两题都一样，而且27行并不是一个开头的句子。

這題的主題題實在不好掌握
我第一次做選E
後來覺得A也不錯.....
很難去排除答案
這篇作者的目的到底是什麼?????????? Answer

這篇作者的目的到底是什麼?
我想，如果让我来解决这个问题，我就再把文章从作者目的的角度，一句句地看上几遍。
当然，我是希望楼上能够多深入看看文章，多想想。这样比较有益。
作者: endless1990 时间: 2011-1-19 21:27
这篇文章是比较乱。
作者: bloomers 时间: 2011-1-20 06:47
不乱，选D，定位38～45，“Nonland...,but availability of uncultivated land reduced the incentive to employ the productivity-enhancing technologies.”
作者: bettyofariN 时间: 2011-1-20 21:18
I think the topic sentence of this passage is located in L18~L26, and it also indicates the key of T10.
作者: piggycandys 时间: 2011-1-21 06:48
这篇是有点难找purpose,根据我的经验,这类题最好先看清每个选项的开头,是explain,evaluate, discuss,or present,ect从这篇看通篇都是说这个那个 research results,所以由此选D.
作者: laurawang2234 时间: 2011-1-21 21:25
E不对。
1.实际是说了4方面的原因，而非3方面：education, spanish, nonland, land-tenure
2.这些也都只是一些影响因素，没说对判断什么是非常重要的因素。文章没有做这种评价，是不能选的
3.本文主要是谈一个新研究的贡献，不是谈一个战略是否会成功
作者: poorleafes 时间: 2011-1-22 20:44
我始终不能明白下面这句话的作用But these
studies have focused on villages with limited land that are tied to a
market economy rather than on the relatively isolated, self-sufficient
communities with ample land characteristic of rain-forest regions.。
都说是通过这句话看出选d的。这句话后面的recent study都没有提到the relatively isolated, self-sufficient
communities with ample land characteristic of rain-forest regions.，还是我看掉了！感觉这句话要不要都没有关系。可能我太笨了，再研究研究！
作者: cheekar 时间: 2011-1-23 06:56
这题我认为选E较好。。。A中说这个proposal的implementation的成功可能性，这个跟文意差太远了吧。。。文中根本没有提到要实施这个proposal，而是介绍了一个proposal后面的study1，同时介绍了另一个study2不同意study1的结论。。。
作者: zongzeng90 时间: 2011-1-23 21:16
这句话不是说：但是，之前的研究是针对于……，而不是针对于相对隔绝的，自给自足的……雨林地区。然后紧接着就说一个最近的study是针对tawahka人民的，而tawahka这个地方正是雨林地区。因此D正确。
可是我始终没有领悟A不对的精神……，钻研中，也期待NN的解答
