A year later, in July 2017, they launched Karst Stone Paper. The company produces paper without using wood or water. Their source is stone waste __33__ from construction sites and other industrial waste dumps.
“If you look at the whole process of how paper is traditionally made, it __34__ chopping trees, adding chemicals, using lots of water and then __35__, drying and flattening it into sheets of paper,” said Garcia. “It contributes to high carbon emission and deforestation.”
In 2019, Garcia estimates Karst’s paper production has helped save 540 large timber trees（成材木）from being deforested, 83,100 liters (21,953 gallons) of water from being used and 25,500 kilograms (56,218 pounds) of carbon dioxide from being __36__.

Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
When happens when the right to know comes up against the right not to know? The case -- of genetic testing has brought this question to light. Two __41__ legal cases - one in Britain, the other in Germany - stand to alter the way medicine is practiced.
Both cases involve Huntington’s disease (HD), whose __42__ include loss of co-ordination（协调）, mood changes and cognitive（认知的）decline. It develops between the ages of 30 and 50, and is eventually fatal. Every child of an __43__ parent has a 50% chance of inheriting it.
In the British case, __44__ for trial at the High Court in London in November, a woman known as ABC - to protect the __45__ of her daughter, who is a minor - is charging a London hospital, St. George’s Healthcare NHS Trust, for not __46__ her father’s diagnosis of HD with her. ABC was pregnant at the time of his diagnosis, in 2009. She argues that had she been aware of it, she would have stopped the pregnancy. As it was, she found out only after giving birth to her daughter. She later tested __47__ for HD.
The German case is in some ways the mirror image of the British one. Unlike in Britain, in Germany the right not to know genetic information is protected in law. __48__, 2011 a doctor informed a woman that her divorced husband - the doctor’s patient - had tested positive for HD. This meant their two children were __49__ the disease. She accused the doctor, who had acted with his patient’s permission. Both children being minors at the time, they could not legally be tested for the disease, which, as the woman’s lawyers pointed out, is currently __50__. They argued that she was therefore helpless to act on the information, and __51__ suffered a reactive depression that prevented her from working.
Both cases test a legal grey area. If the right to know is __52__ recognized in Britain later this year, that my remove some uncertainties, but it will also create new ones. To what lengths should doctors go to track down and inform family members, __53__?
It is the law’s job to __54__ these rights for the modern age. When the law falls behind technology, somebody often pays the price, and currently that somebody is __55__. As these two cases demonstrate, they find themselves in a difficult situation - charged if they do, accused it they don’t.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passage. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.
“It’s no secret that China has always been a source of inspiration for designers,” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A-E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion shows.
Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China - inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works or art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics（美学）on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.

For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,” she says, “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market.
