That experience led Rhett Butler to begin writing a book about rainforests and threats to

their existence. But he did not publish the book. Instead, in 1999, he used his research for the book to create a web site. The site is Mongabay.com. The name is spelled m-o-n-g-a-b-a-y.

Rhett Butler named the site for Nosy Mangabe, an island off Madagascar. His purpose was to inform. the public about tropical rainforests. But the subject widened. A former businessman, he became a respected writer of science and environmental stories.

The popularity of Mongabay.com attracted advertisers. Small ads on the site pay for its operations. Mongabay has grown and led to other sites. For example, there is a site for children, kids.mongabay.com. Another one, WildMadagascar.org, is all about the island nation that Rhett Butler calls his favorite place.

He travels the world on several major trips each year. His working tools are a laptop computer, cameras and sometimes diving equipment.

He often calls on experts for information for stories. For example, he interviewed Alison Jolly, a top expert on ring-tailed lemurs. And last week he wrote about another animal, the rare snow leopard. He interviewed Rodney Jackson, a biologist who established the Snow Leopard Conservancy.

Stories like these have made Mongabay a favorite place on the Internet for researchers, students and teachers. In April, Time.com named it one of the fifteen top climate and environment web sites.

Rhett Butler says he is concerned about how the current economic crisis in the world might affect environmental conservation efforts. For example, he says the falling price of oil could reduce interest in developing solar power. But he also points to a recent United Nations report on "green jobs". The report said efforts to fight climate change might lead to millions of jobs in biofuels by two thousand thirty.

What did Rhett Butler do in 1999？

A．He published his book.

B．He stopped his research.

C．He set up a wet site.

D．He went to the rainforests.

？In most of the lines 34-45,there is one extra word. it is either grammatically incorrect or not fit in with

？the meaning of the text. Some lines, however, are correct.

？If a line is correct, write CORRECT on you Answer Sheet.

？If there is an extra word in the line, write the extra word on your Answer Sheet.

Education or experience？

0 Recently there has been much debate done about what should qualify a person

00 for promotion in the business world. In the past, a new employee would

34 start by delivering the office mail. He would then work his way up the ladder,

35 gaining higher and more responsive positions, eventually leading to the management.

36 But with the rapid growth of getting business courses and qualifications there is

37 now another way many of people who aim for top management can miss out on the

38 'mail delivery' stages by studying for a period and gaining in one of the numerous

39 business qualifications now available.. There is some criticism of this accelerated

40 promotion. It is felt that it results in knowledge without also experience, and such

41 knowledge type is inevitably incomplete. On the other hand the growth in business

42 courses has led to much more highly skilled business practices. The answer seems

43 to be that both experience and qualifications have their value, but as it should not be forgotten

44 that experience is

45 a qualification in itself

听力原文： The worldwide organization of the Red Cross stems from the idea of Henry Dunant,

a Swiss banker In 1838. At the age of 10, Dunant was taken by his father to visit a prison. There he saw prisoners chained together exercising in the yard and breaking stones along the road. This experience left a deep impression on him and made him determine to do something for convicts and slaves and for all who were oppressed and deprived of their liberty.

On 24, June, 1859, while on his way from Geneva to France, Dunant witnessed the battle between the French and Austrian armies. It was one of the fiercest battles of the 19th century. Shocked by the lack of the medical supplies and attention given to the wounded, Dunant decided a volunteer service has to be organized. He gathered together a number of women who tended the hundreds of wounded soldiers of all nationalities and helped the surgeons as best they could. From that battle, Dunant determined to form. a body of people who would rally together in times of war and attend to the needs of the wounded and dying. Dunant held that a suffering human being should be helped for his own sake only without regard to race, religion or political beliefs.

Many European states supported him and on 22, August, 1864, the first Geneva Convention was signed. This lies down that once a soldier is wounded, he and everyone who comes to help him

cease to be an enemy. A symbol by which the relief workers could be recognized was devised. As a tribute to Switzerland, the symbol was the Swiss flag reversed, that is, a red cross on a white ground.

What first led Henry Dunant to think of helping the oppressed？

A．A visit to a prison.

B．The influence of his father.

C．A talk with some miserable slaves.

D．His experience in the war between France and Austria.

In patients with Huntington' s disease, it' s the part of the brain called the basal gangl

ia that' s destroyed. While these victims have perfectly intact explicit memory systems, they can' t learn new motor skills. An Alzheimer' s patient can learn to draw in a mirror but can' t remember doing it: a Huntington ' s patient can' t do it but can remember trying to learn. Yet another region of the brain, an almond-size knot of neural tissue seems to be crucial in forming and triggering the recall of a special subclass of memories that is tied to strong emotion, especially fear. These are just some of the major divisions. Within the category of implicit memory, for example, lie the subcategories of associative memory--the phenomenon that famously led Parlov' s dogs to salivate at the sound of a bell which they had learned to associate with food--and of habituation, in which we unconsciously file a way unchanging features of the environment so we can pay closer attention to what' s new and different upon encountering a new experience.

Within explicit, or declarative memory, on the other hand, there are specific subsystems that handle shapes, textures such as faces, names--even distinct systems to remember nouns vs. verbs. All of these different types of memory are ultimately stored in the brain' s cortex, within its deeply furrowed outer layer--a component of the brain dauntingly more complex than comparable parts in other species. Experts in brain imaging are only beginning to understand what goes where, and how the parts are reassembled into a coherent whole that seems to be a single memory is actually a complex construction. Think of a hammer, and your brain hurriedly retrieves the tool's name, its appearance, its function, its heft and the sound of its clang, each extracted from a different region of the brain. Fail to connect person ' s name with his or her face, and you experience the breakdown of that assembly process that many of us begin to experience in our 20s and that becomes downright worrisome when we reach our 5Os.

It was this weakening of memory and the parallel loss of ability to learn new things easily that led biologist Joe Tsien to the experiments reported last week. "This age-dependent loss of function." he says, "appears in many animals, and it begins with the onset of sexual maturity."

What' s happening when the brain forms memories--and what fails with aging, injury and disease--involves a phenomenon know as "plasticity". It's obvious that something in the brain changes as we learn and remember new things, but it' s equally obvious that the organ doesn ' t change its overall structure or grow new nerve cells wholesale. Instead, it' s the connections between new cells and particularly the strength of these connections that are altered by experience. Hear a word over and over, and the repeated firing of certain cells in a certain order makes it easier to repeat the firing pattern later on. It is the pattern that represents each specific memory.

Which of the following symptoms can be observed in a person who suffers from the Hunting ton' s disease？

A．He cannot remember what he has done but can remember trying to learn.

B．He cannot do something new but he can remember doing it.

C．He suffers from a bad memory and lack of motor skills.

D．He suffers from a poor basal ganglia and has intact explicit memory

Part C

Directions:

Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written carefully on ANSWER SHEET 2. (10 points)

There is a marked difference between the education which every one gets from living with others, and the deliberate educating of the young. In the former case the education is incidental; it is natural and important, but it is not the express reason of the association.46It may be said that the measure of the worth of any social institution is its effect in enlarging and improving experience; but this effect is not a part of its original motive. Religious associations began, for example, in the desire to secure the favor of overruling powers and to ward off evil influences; family life in the desire to gratify appetites and secure family perpetuity; systematic labor, for the most part, because of enslavement to others, etc. 47Only gradually was the by-product of the institution noted, and only more gradually still was this effect considered as a directive factor in the conduct of the institution. Even today, in our industrial life, apart from certain values of industriousness and thrift, the intellectual and emotional reaction of the forms of human association under which the world's work is carried on receives little attention as compared with physical output.

But in dealing with the young, the fact of association itself as an immediate human fact, gains in importance.48 While it is easy to ignore in our contact with them the effect of our acts upon their disposition, it is not so easy as in dealing with adults. The need of training is too evident; the pressure to accomplish a change in their attitude and habits is too urgent to leave these consequences wholly out of account. 49Since our chief business with them is to enable them to share in a common life we cannot help considering whether or no we are forming the powers which will secure this ability. If humanity has made some headway in realizing that the ultimate value of every institution is its distinctively human effect we may well believe that this lesson has been learned largely through dealings with the young.

50 We are thus led to distinguish, within the broad educational process which we have been so far considering, a more formal kind of education -- that of direct tuition or schooling. In undeveloped social groups, we find very little formal teaching and training. These groups mainly rely for instilling needed dispositions into the young upon the same sort of association which keeps the adults loyal to their group.

46It may be said that the measure of the worth of any social institution is its effect in enlarging and improving experience; but this effect is not a part of its original motive.
