Question

阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

(1) A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper about 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. If we keep on wasting paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. Every day, people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 48,000 trees every day. Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper from now on. (2) If we don't, we will not have enough time to grow more trees.

So how can we save paper? (3) Some people suggest we should use both sides of every piece of paper. We can also choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs (手帕) and not paper ones. (4)当我们逛街时，我们可以使用更少的纸袋子。If the shop assistant gives use paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.

Everyone can help to save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. (5)让我们现在采取行动节约用纸。

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了纸来自树木，我们每天用很多纸，如果我们继续浪费纸，地球上就不会有树了；因此我们应节约用纸。

1.

考查过去分词。called Cai Lun过去分词短语，意为“被叫做/称为蔡伦”，作名词短语a Chinese man的后置定语，a Chinese man意为“一个中国人”；about 2000 years ago意为“大约2000年前”。故翻译为：大约2000年前，一个被叫做蔡伦的中国人发明了纸。

2.

考查固定搭配。if we don’t意为“如果我们不这样做”；固定搭配have enough time to do sth意为“有足够的时间做某事”； grow more trees意为“种更多的树”。故翻译为：如果我们不这样做，我们将没有足够的时间来种植更多的树。

3.

考查宾语从句。some people意为“有些人”；suggest意为“建议”，后接由that引导接宾语从句（that没有实际意义）。both sides of意为“两面都”；every piece of paper意为“每一张纸”。故翻译为：有些人建议我们应该使用每一张纸的两面。

4.

考查状语从句和固定搭配。When引导时间状语从句，从句主语we，从句谓语结构go shopping “去购物”（固定搭配），主句主语we，主句谓语结构can use，主句宾语less paper bags。再根据其他汉语提示，故翻译为：When we go shopping, we can use less paper bags。

5.

考查祈使句和固定搭配。本句用祈使句，固定搭配let sb. do sth.（让某人做某事），固定搭配take action to do sth.（采取行动做某事），save paper（节约用纸）。再根据其他汉语提示，故翻译为：Let's take action to save paper now。
