“In wilderness is the preservatin f the wrld.” This is a famus saying frm a writer regarded as ne f the fathers f envirnmentalism. The frequency with which it is brrwed mirrrs a heated debate n envirnmental prtectin: whether t place wilderness at the heart f what is t be preserved.
As Jhn Sauven f Greenpeace UK pints ut, there is a strng appeal in images f the wild, the untuched; mre than anything else, they speak f the nature that many peple value mst dearly. The urge t leave the subject f such images untuched is strng, and the danger explitatin(开发) brings t such landscapes is real. Sme f these wildernesses als perfrm functins that humans need—the rain frests, fr example, stre carbn in vast quantities. T Mr. Sauven, these “ecsystem services” far utweigh the gains frm explitatin.
Lee Lane, a visiting fellw at the Hudsn Institute, takes the ppsing view. He acknwledges that wildernesses d prvide useful services, such as water cnservatin. But that is nt, he argues, a reasn t avid all human presence, r indeed cmmercial and industrial explitatin. There are ever mre peple n the Earth, and they reasnably and rightfully want t have better lives, rather than merely struggle fr survival. While the ways f using resurces have imprved, there is still a grwing need fr raw materials, and sme wildernesses cntain them in abundance. If they can be tapped withut reducing the services thse wildernesses prvide, the argument ges, there is n further reasn nt t d s. Being untuched is nt, in itself, a characteristic wrth valuing abve all thers.
I lk frwards t seeing these views taken further, and t their being challenged by the ther participants. One challenge that suggests itself t me is that bth cases need t take n the questin f spiritual value a little mre directly. And there is a practical questin as t whether wildernesses can be explited withut harm.
This is a tpic that calls fr nt nly free expressin f feelings, but als the guidance f reasn. What psitin wilderness shuld enjy in the preservatin f the wrld bviusly deserves much mre serius thinking.
28．Jhn Sauven hlds that .
A. many peple value nature t much
B. explitatin f wildernesses is harmful
C. wildernesses prvide humans with necessities
D. the urge t develp the ecsystem services is strng
29．What is the main idea f Para. 3?
A. The explitatin is necessary fr the pr peple.
B. Wildernesses cannt guarantee better use f raw materials.
C. Useful services f wildernesses are nt the reasn fr n explitatin.
D. All the characteristics cncerning the explitatin shuld be treated equally.
30．What is the authr’s attitude twards this debate?
A. Objective.B. Disapprving.C. Skeptical.D. Optimistic.
31．Which f the fllwing shws the structure f the passage?

The researchers believe that the findings culd have majr effects n the real wrld. Prfessr Madzharv added: “Olfactin is ne f ur mst pwerful senses. Emplyers, architects, building develpers, retail space managers and thers can use subtle scents t help shape emplyees’ r ccupants’ experience with their envirnment. It’s an area f great interest and ptential.”

Like many great writers, many f Hemingway’s bks and stries were based n his persnal experiences. In 1923, he prduced his first cllectin f shrt stries, and mst f the stries related t his childhd. As we knw, in his early twenties, Hemingway lived in Paris and knew many famus writers and artists there. S in his first nvel, The Sun Als Rises, he wrte abut thse gifted but lnely and angry peple. In 1929, he prduced his furth nvel, A Farewell t Arms, which was based n his experiences during Wrld War I. During Wrld War II, he wrked as a reprter in Eurpe, and he used these experiences t write Acrss the River and int the Trees. In 1952, he wrte a shrt nvel, The Old Man and the Sea. Fr this bk, he wn the Nbel Prize fr Literature. Why is it the best? As I said, when he was yunger, he used t g fishing with his father and in his later years, deep-sea fishing remained his favurite hbby. He was able t write a pwerful stry because f his wn persnal experiences.
