The company produces paper without using wood or water. Their source is stone waste _33_ from constructio

26、n sites and other industrial waste dumps.“If you look at the whole process of how paper is traditionally made, it _34_ chopping trees, adding chemicals, using lots of water and then _35_, drying and flattening it into sheets of paper,” said Garcia. “It contributes to high carbon emission and defores

27、tation.”In , Garcia estimates Karsts paper production has helped save 540 large timber trees (成材木) from being deforested, 83,100 liters (21,953 gallons) of water from being used and 25,500 kilograms (56,218 pounds) of carbon dioxide from being _36_.“We collect disposed limestone (石灰石) from wherever

31、 the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.What happens when the right to know comes up against the right not to know? The ease of genetic testing has brought this question to light. Two _41_ lega

32、l cases one in Britain, the other in Germany stand to alter the way medicine is practised.Both cases involve Huntingtons disease (HD), whose _42_ include loss of co-ordination (协调), mood changes and cognitive (认知旳) decline. It develops between the ages of 30 and 50, and is eventually fatal. Every ch

33、ild of an _43_ parent has a 50% chance of inheriting it. In the British case, _44_ for trial at the High Court in London in November, a woman known as ABC to protect the _45_ of her daughter, who is a minor is charging a London hospital, St. Georges Healthcare NHS Trust, for not _46_ her fathers dia

34、gnosis of HD with her. ABC was pregnant at the time of his diagnosis, in . She argues that had she been aware of it, she would have stopped the pregnancy. As it was, she found out only after giving birth to her daughter. She later tested _47_ for HD.The German case is in some ways the mirror image o

Unlike in Britain, in Germany the right not to know genetic information is protected in law. _48_, in a doctor informed a woman that her divorced husband the doctors patient had tested positive for HD. This meant their two children were _49_ the disease. She accused the doctor, wh

36、o had acted with his patients permission. Both children being minors at the time, they could not legally be tested for the disease, which, as the womans lawyers pointed out, is currently _50_. They argued that she was therefore helpless to act on the information, and _51_ suffered a reactive depress

37、ion that prevented her from working. Both cases test a legal grey area. If the right to know is _52_ recognized in Britain later this year, that may remove some uncertainties, but it will also create new ones. To what lengths should doctors go to track down and inform family members, _53_? It is the

38、 laws job to _54_ these rights for the modern age. When the law falls behind technology, somebody often pays the price, and currently that somebody is _55_. As these two cases demonstrate, they find themselves in a difficult situation charged if they do, accused if they dont.41. A. remarkableB. dist

44、a-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics (美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries.

46、stern designers being influenced by China, but some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs and beating them hands down in design and sales,” adds Hill.For Hill, it is impossible not to talk

47、 about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,” she says, “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China i

SAM KIEFFER, Richardson, TexasDishes Professional Chefs Cook in the MicrowaveMicrowaving live lobsters is

60、the reader the facts, pure, unprejudiced, objectively selected facts. But in these days of complex news it must provide more: it must supply interpretation, the meaning of the facts. This is a very important assignment facing American journalists to make clear to the reader the problems of the day,

61、to make international news understandable as community news, to recognize that there is no longer any such thing as “local” news, because any event in the international area has a local reaction in the financial market, political circles, in terms, indeed, of our very way of life. There is in journa

62、lism a widespread view that when you start an interpretation, you are entering dangerous waters, the rushing tides of opinion. This is nonsense.The opponents of interpretation insist that the writer and the editor shall limit themselves to the “facts”. This insistence raises two questions: What are the facts? Are the bare facts enough?As for the first question, consider how a so-called “factual” story comes about. The reporter collects, say, fifty facts; out of these fifty, his space being necessarily restricted, he selects the ten which he considers most important. This is Judgment
