问题 Paper is one of the most important products ever invented by man. Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge.
How much paper do you use every year? Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1990 the world’s use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper than other countries.
Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of year. Parchment was very strong; it was made from the skin of certain young animals. We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment. (208words)
选项 5、        What is the main idea of this short talk?
A. More and more paper is being consumed nowadays
B. Paper enables people to receive education more easily
C. The invention of paper is of great significance to man
D. Paper contributes a lot to the keeping of historical records
答案C
解析这是一道主旨题，本题询问这篇短文的中心大意。一般来讲，一篇文章的中心大意可能位于文首或文尾，也有可能隐藏在整篇文章之中。这篇文章的中心大意落脚在全文第一句话，即“纸是人类发明的最重要的物品之一。”随后第一段展开说明纸带给人类的重要意义体现在哪些方面，第二段和第三段通过纸的消费数量和在人类以前使用什么工具来记载的。所以，在四个选项当中，选项A, B, D都只是反映了纸的发明带给人类的某些方面的重要性，过于具体，范围太小，而选项C则总结概括出了文章的中心大意，所以正确答案是C。
