The frequency with which it is borrowed mirrors a heated debate on environmental protection: whether to place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved.As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out, there is a strong appeal in images of the wild, the untouched; more than anything else, they speak of the nature that many people value most dearly. The urge to leave the subject of such images untouched is strong, and the danger exploitation(开发)brings to such landscapes(景观)is real. Some of these wildernesses also perform functions that humans need—the rainforests, for example, store carbon in vast quantities. To Mr. Sauven, these “ecosystem services” far outweigh the gains from exploitation.Lee Lane, a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute, takes the opposing view. He acknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful services, such as water conservation. But that is not, he argues, a reason to avoid all human presence, or indeed commercial and industrial exploitation. There are ever more people on the Earth, and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better lives, rather than merelystruggle for survival. While the ways of using resources have improved, there is still a growing need for raw materials, and some wildernesses contain them in abundance. If they can be tapped without reducing the services those wildernesses provide, the argument goes, there is no further reason not to do so. Being untouched is not, in itself, a characteristic worth valuing above all others.I look forward to seeing these views taken further, and to their being challenged by the other participants. One challenge that suggests itself to me is that both cases need to take on the question of spiritual value a little more directly. And there is a practical question as to whether wildernesses can be exploited without harm.This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings, but also the guidance of reason. What position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously deserves much more serious thinking.16．John Sauven holds that ________．A．many people value nature too muchB．exploitation of wildernesses is harmfulC．wildernesses provide humans with necessitiesD．the urge to develop the ecosystem services is strong17．What is the main idea of Para.3?A．The exploitation is necessary for the poor people.B．Wildernesses cannot guarantee better use of raw materials.C．Useful services of wildernesses are not the reason for no exploitation.D．All the characteristics concerning the exploitation should be treated equally.18．What is the author's attitude towards this debate?A．Objective. B．Disapproving.C．Sceptical. D．Optimistic.19．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?CP：Central Point P：Point Sp：Sub­point(次要点)C：ConclusionB[2012·福建卷]Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparentlyit's because we have mirror neurons(神经元)in our brains.Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate(模仿)it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language.A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to(for example：“The hand took hold of the ball”), the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed(in this example, actually taking hold of a ball)．Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and interact(互动)．Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent(相等物)for neuroscience of what Einstein's theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does—well, perhaps you'll understand why.20．Mirror neurons can explain ________．A．why we cry when we are hurtB．why we cough when we suffer from a coldC．why we smile when we see someone else smileD．why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late21．The underlined word “triggered” in the third paragraph probably means “________”．A．set off B．cut offC．built up D．broken up22．We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons ________．A．relate to human behavior and interactionB．control human physical actions and feelingsC．result in bad behavior and social disordersD．determine our knowledge and language abilities23．What is the passage mainly about?A．Ways to find mirror neurons.B．Problems of mirror neurons.C．Existence of mirror neurons.D．Functions of mirror neurons.参考答案课时作业(二十四)Ⅰ.1.C 考查倒装句。
