【导语】本文主要介绍了纸张的浪费情况,并介绍如何减少用纸的方法。
96 .句意:大约两千年前,中国古代发明家蔡伦发现了造纸的方法。
two thousand 两千; two thousands 错误表达; thousand of 错误表达; thousands 数以千计的。根据 “about …years ago” 可知,此处应用一个具体的数字,填入 two thousand 符合,故选 A 。
97 .句意:然后他把这些纸放在一起,做成了一本书。
it 它; its 它的; they 它们; them 它们。此空指代前文的 “these pieces of” ,指复数概念,且位于 made 后,应填入宾格,故选 D 。
98 .句意:现在纸仍然来自树木。
in 在 …… 里; on 在 …… 上; from 从; at 在。 come from“ 来自 ” ,故选 C 。
99 .句意:我们每天用许多纸。
many 许多; lot of 错误结构; a lot of 许多; quite a few 许多。 paper 是不可数名词, A 和 D 修饰可数名词, B 结构错误,故选 C 。
100 .句意:如果没有树,我们将没有纸使用。
is 是,主语是第三人称单数形式; are 是,主语是第二人称和复数形式; has 有,三单形式; have 有,动词原形。 there be 句型不能与 have 或 has 一起用, trees 是复数形式,应填入 are ,故选 B 。
101 .句意:一棵树需要 10 年以上的时间才能长成。
grow 动词原形; to grow 动词不定式; grows 动词三单形式; growing 动名词。固定句式: It takes sth+ 一段时间 +to do sth“ 花费时间做某事 ” ,动词不定式作主语,故选 B 。
102 .句意:我们怎样才能少用纸呢?
what 什么; why 为什么; how 怎样; where 哪里。根据 “We can use… sides of every piece of paper” 可知,下文介绍的是减少用纸的方式,对方式提问用 how ,故选 C 。
103 .句意:每张纸的两面我们都可以用。
all 所有的; every 每一个; each 每一个; both 都。此空修饰复数名词 sides ,排除 B 和 C 选项。纸是有两面,用 both 表示 “ 两者都 ” ,故选 D 。
104 .句意:我们应该买塑料包装的饮料,而不是纸包装的。
one 一个,单数形式; ones 一些,复数形式; packet 包装袋; those 那些。根据 “We should buy drinks in plastic( 塑料的 ) packets” 以及 “but not in paper” 可知,不能买用纸包装的饮料,用 ones 替代前文出现的复数名词 packets ,故选 B 。
105 .句意:如果店员给我们一个纸袋,我们应该把它收起来,以后再用。
but 但是; or 或者; because 因为; and 和。 “we should put it away” 与 “use it again later.” 是并列关系,用 and 连接,故选 D 。
