49.C【分析】本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了互聯(lián)網(wǎng)使用的增加提高了紙張的需求量，從而導(dǎo)致了環(huán)境問題——更多的樹木被砍伐，環(huán)保人士認(rèn)為用除木材以外的材料制紙是解決這一問題的可行性辦法?！?5題詳解】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Butforallthetextsthatarewritten，storedandsentelectronically,alotofthemarestillendinguponpaper.”可知，但是對于所有以電子方式書寫、存儲和發(fā)送的文本最終還是以紙質(zhì)形式結(jié)束，由此可知，電腦并沒有有效地減少紙張的使用，故B項(xiàng)正確?！?6題詳解】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“PerhapsthebestsignofhowcomputerandInternetusepushesupdemandforpapercomesfromthehigh-techindustryitself”可知，電腦和互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的使用提高了紙張的需求量，由此可知，對紙張需求量的日益增長在很大程度上是由于互聯(lián)網(wǎng)使用的增加，故D項(xiàng)正確?！?7題詳解】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“Asthecompanyseesit,themoreuseoftheInternetthegreaterdemandforprinters.”可知，正如該公司所見，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的使用越多，對打印機(jī)的需求就越大，由此可知，Hewlett-PackardCo.決定開發(fā)新技術(shù)是因?yàn)樗麄兛吹搅舜蛴C(jī)市場的增長，故A項(xiàng)正確?！?8題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Theactiongrouphasalsofoundacceptablepapermadefrommaterialsotherthanwood,suchasagriculturalwaste.”可知，環(huán)保人士認(rèn)為用除木材以外的材料制紙，如農(nóng)業(yè)廢料，是一個可行的辦法，故C項(xiàng)正確。【49題詳解】主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，特別是第二段中的“Ifeelinmybonesthisrevolutioniscausingmoretreestobecutdown.”可知，本文主要介紹的是互聯(lián)網(wǎng)使用的增加提高了紙張的需求量，從而導(dǎo)致了環(huán)境問題——更多的樹木被砍伐，環(huán)保人士認(rèn)為用除木材以外的材料制紙是解決這一問題的可行性辦法，故C項(xiàng)正確?！军c(diǎn)睛】文章標(biāo)題形式的主旨大意題的難度在于被選選項(xiàng)要具有高度的概括性，因此抓住主題句的關(guān)鍵詞是關(guān)鍵，根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，特別是第二段中的“Ifeelinmybonesthisrevolutioniscausingmoretreestobecutdown.”可知，本文主要介紹的是互聯(lián)網(wǎng)革命提高了紙張的需求量，從而導(dǎo)致了環(huán)境問題——更多的樹木被砍伐，因此被選選項(xiàng)一定要體現(xiàn)出互聯(lián)網(wǎng)革命和環(huán)境的關(guān)系，故C項(xiàng)（互聯(lián)網(wǎng)革命與環(huán)境）最能概括全文內(nèi)容。23.AfterAftergivingatalkatahighschool,Iwasaskedtopayavisittoaspe-cialstudent.Anillnesshadkepttheboyhome,buthehadexpressedaninterestinmeetingme.Iwastolditwouldmeanagreatdealtohim,soIagreed.Duringthenine-miledrivetohishome,IfoundoutsomethingaboutMatthew.Hehadmusculardystrophy(肌肉萎縮癥).Whenhewasborn,thedoctortoldhisparentsthathewouldnotlivetofive,andthentheyweretoldhewouldnotmakeittoten.Nowhewasthirteen.HewantedtomeetmebecauseIwasagold-medalpowerlifter,andIknewaboutovercomingobstaclesandgoingformydreams.IspentoveranhourtalkingtoMatthew.Neveroncedidhecomplainorask,“Whyme?”Hespokeaboutwinningandsucceedingandgoingforhisdreams.Obviously,heknewwhathewastalkingabout.Hedidn’tmentionthathisclassmateshadmadefunofhimbecausehewasdifferent.Hejusttalkedabouthishopesforthefuture,andhowonedayhewantedtoliftweightswithme.Whenwehadfinishedtalking,IwenttomybriefcaseandpulledoutthefirstgoldmedalIhadwonandputitaroundhisneck.ItoldhimhewasmoreofawinnerandknewmoreaboutsuccessandovercomingobstaclesthanIeverwould.Helookedatit
