【解析】本文为介绍说明文。文章介绍了纸的不同用途。

1.考查冠词。world“世界”前要加定冠词。故填the。

2.考查定语从句。此处为定语从句，先行词为paper，连词在从句中作介词on的宾语，应使用关系代词which。故填which。

3.考查介词。此处指“在芬兰”，应使用介词in。故填In。

4.考查比较级。句意：没什么能更暖和了。根据句意可知，此处为比较级表最高级。故填warmer。

5.考查名词单复数。根据句中谓语动词are可知，此处应使用thing的复数形式。故填things。

6.考查动词语态。句意：甚至床也能由纸来做。根据句意可知，此处应使用被动语态，又因空前情态动词can可知，此处应填be made。

7.考查时间状语从句。根据语境可知，此处既可以表示“当你使用一次性纸杯的时候，你扔掉它们再买新的”，也可以表示“在你使用一次性纸杯后，你扔掉它们再买新的”。故填When/After/As。

8.考查代词单复数。根据语境可知，此处指代“new paper cups”。故填ones。

9..考查非谓语动词。此处表示目的，应使用不定式。故填 to play。

10.考查连词。句意：你自己能在几个小时里把（纸）房子搭建起来，你能使用大约五年。此处前后句意为并列关系，应使用并列连词and。故填and。
