閱讀理解

　　閱讀下面短文，把A－E五個(gè)句子填入文中空缺處，使短文內(nèi)容完整正確．

　　In the 13th century, the famous Italian traveler, Marco Polo, traveled a long way to China．During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things．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．(1)________

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

　　(3)________ 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．Every day, people throw away about 2,800tons of paper．It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper．This means that we are cutting nearly 48,000 trees every day．

　　Since it takes more than 10years 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．

　　(4)________ 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．

　　(5)________ If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees．But we should do it now, before it is too late．

A．Now paper still comes from trees．

B．Everyone can help to save paper．

C．However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century．

D．He took the wood from trees and made it into paper．

E．So how can we save paper?

Answer 1

答案：
解析：

1．C．根據(jù)上文的意思，二者之間顯然是一種轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系．故選C． 　　2．D．上一句“He made it from wood．”和下文的“He then put these pieces of paper…”是解答本題的關(guān)鍵． 　　3．A．選項(xiàng)D承接上文，另外下面的“…there will not be any trees left on the earth．”也對本題的解答起一定的暗示作用． 　　4．E．第一張紙的兩面都要使用，這顯然是談節(jié)約用紙的方法．故答案為E． 　　5．B．由上面一段說的意思，再聯(lián)系下面的幾句話，即可得出答案． 　　這篇閱讀材料時(shí)間跨度較大，內(nèi)容較為復(fù)雜．短文先從馬可·波羅發(fā)現(xiàn)中國使用紙幣談起，然后說到蔡倫發(fā)明造紙術(shù)．第三自然段談到現(xiàn)在中國存在著嚴(yán)重浪費(fèi)紙張的現(xiàn)狀，并對中國森林資源的日益匱乏深感憂慮．第四自然段則說到了一些節(jié)約用紙的具體做法．短文最后呼吁大家認(rèn)真反思，從現(xiàn)在做起，保護(hù)有限的森林資源．
