Question

【題目】All animals produce waste. We call it “waste”, but we all know it can be very useful. Farmers have long used animal and human waste as a fertilizer (肥料). In some parts of the world, animal waste or poop, is collected, dried and burned for cooking and heating. 【1】

The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding has an unusual way of using animal waste. The pandas in it produce a lot of poop a day. 【2】 It’s not strange. After all, paper is made from plant fiber (植物纖維), which cannot be digested (消化) and simply goes through the body as waste.

Since pandas eat nothing but bamboo, their waste is perfect paper material. 【3】 Their stomachs haven’t fully developed for their vegetarian diet, so their bodies make use of just 20% of what they eat. The other 80% comes out as poop: very high in fiber and perfect for paper.

After the poop is collected, it is cleaned, crushed and poured into frames to dry.【4】 No one can guess where the paper comes from. And because of its good quality (質量) as well as the worldwide popularity of the panda, gift products made from the paper sell well.

【5】 They got the idea from the elephant dung paper (由大象糞便做的紙) made at the Elephant Conservation Center in Chiang Mai, Thailand. And Creative Paper Wales in the UK sells paper gifts made from sheep waste.

根據(jù)材料內容，將A—E五個句子填入文中空白處，使材料完整、通順，并將其標號填寫在下面題號后的橫線上。

A. What’s more, pandas have a special advantage.

B. After this process, it becomes really good, strong paper.

【解析】

動物糞便也可能是非常有用的，例如農民們用動物的糞便作為肥料；還有的國家用動物糞便做燃料。而這篇短文給我們講述了成都大熊貓繁育研究基地用熊貓的糞便造紙。

【1】上文介紹了動物糞便的作用，下文則提到了用動物糞便制紙，這也是整篇文章的主要內容，所以這句話是引出文章的主題句，故應選C，意為：但是你聽說過用動物糞便制成的紙嗎？

【2】根據(jù)這一段的內容可知，這里提到的是用熊貓的糞便制紙，故應選E，意為：這種材料被制成一種叫熊貓糞便紙的產(chǎn)品。

【3】根據(jù)文意可知，這里介紹的是利用熊貓的糞便制紙的有利因素，上面提到熊貓只吃竹子；下文提到由于熊貓不習慣素食，所以只能消化20%的食物，其他80%都成了糞便，這樣可以為制紙?zhí)峁┖芏嗟脑�料。故應選A。

【4】根據(jù)上句話After the poop is collected, it is cleaned, crushed and poured into frames to dry.可知，這里介紹了制造熊貓紙的過程，此空表示加工之后的結果，B選項“在這個過程之后，它就變成了好很好的、結實的紙”，符合上下文的意思，故選B。

【5】根據(jù)下句話They got the idea from the elephant dung paper (由大象糞便做的紙) made at the Elephant Conservation Center in Chiang Mai, Thailand.可知，中國人用熊貓糞便制紙的這一想法來自于泰國清邁用大象糞便制紙。因此D選項“然而，中國并不是第一個用動物糞便造紙的國家”這句話符合文意。
