Some activists suggest people have been led to believe that a lot of dangers to the environment have gone away.“I guess people believe that the problem is taken care of，because of recycling (回收利用)，”said Kelly Quirke, director of the Rainforest Action Network in San Francisco. Yet Quirke is hopeful that hightech may also prove helpful. He says printers that print on both sides are growing in popularity.The action group has also found acceptable paper made from materials other than wood, such as agricultural waste.1The growing demand for paper in recent years is large due to _.Athe rapid development of small businessesBthe opening up of new marketsCthe printing of high quality copiesDthe increasing use of the Internet2Environmentalists believe one possible way of dealing with the paper situation is _.Ato encourage to print more quality documentsBto develop new printers using recycled paperCto find new materials for making paperDto plant more fast growing trees3HewlettPackard Co. has decided to develop new technologies because _.Apeople are concerned about the environmentBprinters in many offices are working overtimeCsmall companies need more hard copiesDthey see a growing market for printers4What would be the best title for the text?AComputers and PrintersBEmail and the Business WorldCInternet Revolution and EnvironmentDModern Technology and New MarketsPeriod Reading Comprehension .1.Over2.as3.with4.on；in5.by6.in；on；on7.with；through8.Since；for9.Anyhow；with；of10.with.1.(1)It may be many years before(2)It was some time before2(1)as time goes by(2)Three years has gone by3(1)Goods of a high quality(2)of the greatest importance to me.1.a universal use2.been simplified3been able to solve4.As he grew older5As a result of.1.A句意为：广告的目的是吸引注意力。be calculated to(被动语态)旨在，目的是，符合题意。compute计算；attempt企图，试图；estimate估计，均不符合题意。2D分析句子结构可以看出空格后面有主语和谓语，因此空格内应填入连词，表示与主句的动作同时进行，在所给选项中只有as有此用法。3B句意为：他很聪明，十分钟就把填字游戏做出来了。solve“解决，解答”，指找出解决问题的办法；settle指解决争议、争端，使意见达成一致。4A此处表示时间的流逝。B项表示“从旁经过”，不表示时间；C项意为“进展”，侧重于过程；D项意为“传递”，均不符合题意。故答案为A项。5B句意为：由于我军的强大武力，敌人不得不放下武器。C项表示“(造成)的结果”，不符合题意；若将D项中的resulted改成现在分词，也可作为答案，其意思与B项相符，答案为B项。6C句意为：考试时，学生应独立解题。by oneself表示“独自地，单独地”。7Aapply to适用于，涉及，有关，符合句意。refer to提到，参考；arrange安排；prepare for为做准备，均不符合句意。8B句意为：正如你所说的我可能不适合当老师，但无论如何，我也要试一试。由句意知选B项。9Cgoal“目标，目的”，与句意相符。symbol “象征，符号”；action“行动，行为”；confidence“自信”，均与句意不符。10Ain common有共同之处，共用；in all共计；in fact实际上；in the end最后。由句意“尽管他们是双胞胎兄弟，但除了他们长得相像外，没有共同之处”可知选A项。11Bcompared with.与相比，相当于compared to，作状语，为固定用法，此时不用comparing with/to。句意为：与你的房子相比，我的房子非常小。故选B项。12Bfrom then on从那时起；from now on从现在起；since then从那时以来，一般用于完成时；from time to time“不时地”。根据句意“如果你从现在起努力学习，你会通过考试”可知选B项。13B句意为：乔安娜在羽毛球比赛中的落败不是因为技术的原因，而是由于缺乏自信。此处指做某事具体的方法和技巧，又作定语，所以要用形容词technical。14Atell sb. to do sth.告诉某人做某事，此处为被动sb. be told to do sth.，to不能省略；as“像，按照”，引导方式状语从句。15A句意为：我的朋友马丁得了一种发烧的怪病，结果，他既不能吃饭也不能睡觉。空格后面是前面叙述情况的结果，所以此处要用as a result。.1.D事实判断题。根据第二段“It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of the use of Internetconnected computers，although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when email is introduced, the printers start working overtime.”可推断出纸张需求量的不断增长是由于互联网的广泛使用。2C推理判断题。短文最后一段叙述了环境保护者对环境问题的关切，最后一句“The action group has also found acceptable paper made from materials other than wood, such as agricultural waste.”告诉我们解决纸张问题的一个途径是寻找新的造纸材料。3D理解判断题。根据第三段“Perhaps the best sign of how computer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from the hightech industry itself，which sees printing as one of its most promising new markets.”可判断出HewlettPackard Co.决定发展新技术的原因是他们看到了正在发展的打印机市场。4C标题归纳题。短文主要讨论了由于互联网的革命，纸张供不应求，引起造纸原材料木材需求量的增长，从而引发严重的环境问题。
