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
1、What’s the meaning for the word “parchment”?
A. The skin of young animals
B. A kind of paper made from the skin of certain young animals
C. The paper used by European countries
D. The paper of Egypt
答案
B
解析
这是一道词义推测题,我们通常需要根据上下文的线索来猜测词义,一般作者会在使用某个生词之后,对这个生词做一些解释或说明。就本题而言,划线词所在句子的大意是“几百年来,欧洲人使用parchment来书写。”在这一句之后,作者随即对什么是parchment进行了解释,说“它非常的结实”,并进一步说明“它是由某些动物幼仔的毛皮所制”。因此,我们确定选择答案B。
