阅读下面短文,回答下列五道题。加拿大某公司建造了一座示范厂,用酒精而不是用硫磺造纸浆。该公司董事长佩蒂说:“这是未来之路。用酒精制造纸浆意味着出现一种清洁、无污染的技术。”如果在小规模工业里取得成功的这项技术也能在正式规模的工厂里生产出较便宜的纸浆,它将对纸价产生影响,这项技术还能消除造纸工业常有的臭鸡蛋味______硫化氢的气味。该公司使用的这种工艺叫ALCELL(即酒精ALCOHOL和纤维素CELLULOSE的合成词),它使用酒精和水代替硫磺把木材分解成纸浆。这种工艺是加拿大在1972年发明的,以前从来没有实现商品化,但是这家公司希望它能使造纸工业发生彻底变革。佩蒂说:“建造一座新的纸浆厂要耗资10亿美元,而且它要求木材供应源源不断。如有 ALCELL工艺,只要耗资3.5亿美元就能建造一个工厂,并使工厂不停地运转,所需木材供应量较小。”他又说:“那意味着一个工厂一天生产350吨而不是1 000吨纸浆。”林业产品分析家邓肯森说:“从环境方面来说,它比较清洁,而且小型厂这个概念将会使建造新纸浆厂变得较容易。”这种工艺取得成功,它将能以较低的成本生产纸浆。 下列各项说法中,与原文提供的信息相符的一项是()。

A. 用酒精制造纸浆技术已经在小规模工业里取得成功
B. 加拿大某公司用酒精制造纸浆技术,对纸价产生了影响
C. 加拿大某公司在1972年发明了用酒精制造纸浆技术,并希望它能使造纸工业发生彻底变革
D. 一旦这项技术在正式规模的工厂里获得成功,将可能对未来造纸工业产生重大影响

第二篇Teaching Poetry No poem should ever be discussed or "analyzed", until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it. All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling "interpretation" of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the word in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting (背诵) it. I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than "analyzing" it, if there isn’t time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is "a criticism of life", and "a heightening (提升) of life". It is "an approach to the truth of feeling", and it "can save your life". It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies. I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don’t like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it. What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply

A. More stress should be laid on the teaching of poetry
B. Poetry is more important than any other subject
C. One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry
D. Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses
