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

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。

TOP

这篇文章是比较乱。

TOP

不乱,选D,定位38~45,“Nonland...,but availability of uncultivated land reduced the incentive to employ the productivity-enhancing technologies.”

TOP

I think the topic sentence of this passage is located in L18~L26, and it also indicates the key of T10.

TOP

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.
