  In the 13th century, the famous Italian traveler, Marco Polo, traveled a long way to China. One of the things he discovered was that the Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 11th century.
A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2,000 years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from trees and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book.
Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. ①If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. ②Every day, people all over the world throw away about 2800 tons (吨) of paper. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means we are cutting down 48000 trees every day.
Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don’t, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper. So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs (手帕) and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.
Everyone can help save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. But we should do it now, before it is too late.
小题1: 将①处翻译成汉语。

答案

小题1:如果我们持续浪费这么多的纸，地球上将不会剩下任何的树木。
小题2:is thrown
小题3:save,protect

解析

试题分析：这篇文章主要讲述了中国人在很久以前发明了造纸术，用树木来制作纸张，现在人们依旧使用这种方法。这也致使了很多树木被砍，尤其是纸张的浪费加剧了这一问题。所以我们应该节约用纸，例如双面使用，用手帕等。
小题1:if引导一个条件状语从句；如果……；短语keep on doing sth.持续做某事。
小题2:本题就是把句子变成被动句，结构为be+动词过去分词；故填is thrown。
小题3:这篇文章内容就是要求人们节约用纸来保护树木，故填save节约；protect保护。
