Question

【題目】In the 13th century, the famous Indian traveler, Marco Polo, traveled a long way to China.

One of the things he discovered was that the Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 11th century.

A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2,000 years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from trees and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book.

Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. ②Every day, people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper . It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting down 48,000 trees every day.

Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don’t, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper. So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes.We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs(手帕) and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.

Everyone can help save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help protect the trees. But we should do it now, before it is too late.

【1】將處翻譯成漢 .

Every day ,about 2800 tons of paper _____ ____away by people all over the world.

【3】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成下面句子。（每空一詞）

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】他發(fā)現(xiàn)的其中一件事就是中國(guó)人使用紙幣。

【2】is thrown

【3】so that

【解析】

試題分析：這篇文章主要講述了中國(guó)人在很久以前發(fā)明了造紙術(shù)，用樹(shù)木來(lái)制作紙張，現(xiàn)在人們依舊使用這種方法。這也致使了很多樹(shù)木被砍，尤其是紙張的浪費(fèi)加劇了這一問(wèn)題。所以我們應(yīng)該節(jié)約用紙，例如雙面使用，用手帕等。

【1】根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，這是一個(gè)表語(yǔ)從句，主語(yǔ)為“One of the things he discovered”。這里“he discovered”在這里作后置定語(yǔ)，修飾“things”，“one of+名詞復(fù)數(shù)”表示“……其中之一”。表語(yǔ)為“that the Chinese used paper money.”，即中國(guó)人使用紙幣。綜合上述，故譯為：他發(fā)現(xiàn)的其中一件事就是中國(guó)人使用紙幣。

【2】本題就是把句子變成被動(dòng)句，結(jié)構(gòu)為be+動(dòng)詞過(guò)去分詞。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境，句子的主語(yǔ)為不可數(shù)名詞“paper”，是動(dòng)作的承受者，作第三人稱(chēng)第三看待。依照主謂一致原則，故應(yīng)填：is thrown。

【3】根據(jù)短文的描述可知，我們節(jié)約紙張的目的是為了保護(hù)樹(shù)木。結(jié)合語(yǔ)境，這里應(yīng)用表示目的的連接詞，故應(yīng)填：so that。
